Re: wiki/blog question

My neophyte understanding and experience tell me that a blog is like
threaded email, where the threads are consolidated together keeping a
conversation more on track without the distraction of unrelated topics.
A wiki offers the chance to work together on a common document, each
participant editing and able to comment on their changes, or other
changes.

Subject: wiki/blog question

We are preparing to launch a wiki/blog server so teachers can host a =20
wki for their classes. Try as I might it has been difficult for me to =20
formulate a working explanation of the difference between a wiki and a =20
blog. We are using an XServe where each class created in Workgroup =20
Manager gets a wiki and a blog and individual teachers can create =20
their own individual blogs.
It would be very helpful to have access to some wiki/blogs used in a =20
Grade 9-12 setting . I can share these with our faculty as we start =20
using these collaborative tools.

thanks
