Web 2.0: Week Four

I feel like blogs and wikis do very much the same thing: allow for thinking and exploration on ideas and topics. The main difference is the level of collaboration involved, as wikis are more collaborative. I find the idea of a class blog a little too challenging, but the idea of having students write wikis seems brilliant. Students can collaborate in a forum that they are comfortable with and interested in. With a blog, I can see how it would be hard to make it student-centered, as the teacher would be in control of the content, and the students simply commented on it (which still has value). I just like the idea of a student-centered approach in the form of wikis a bit more.
