It is very hard for me to say what is the difference between a blog and a wiki, since I know very little about both. I have not used my blog since creating it except for responding to questions for web 2.0 23 things. I am sorry to say I just don't get the format. I can't find my way around it and I don't know who are my contacts are and when to follow whom. I know I am hopeless. I found e-mail to be challanging LOL. Now I have been introduced to wiki which means a simple way, I think. I do have to say that the wikispaces has more informational guidence and I am muddling my way through. By using a few of the teacher based wikis I am somewhat more excited to get started on using a wiki for classroom use. I have been wanting something that I can communicate with parents and students all in one place rather than e-mailing each parent or student.
As I said before the blog page is too complicated for me and won't even know where to begin to have students use it. On the other hand, I feel I can be more comfortable and productive with the wiki because they have it geared to educators and setting up classroom users.
I'm not sure what problems I will encounter when using wikispaces in the classroom yet, but I will have to depend on my tech man from monroe to help me.
