Week 2: Wikis

OK, I finally joined the class wiki list and the class blog list and added my wiki and my blog links. Thank you, Michelle Kraft, for explaining how to do it in the "Ask for Help" section. Thanks also to my colleague, Henrietta Green, for pointing it out to me.

I answered earlier what the difference between a blog and a wiki was, but to reiterate: a blog is a piece of writing that cannot be changed afterwards, and a wiki is a piece of writing that can be continually changed and added to, as circumstances, information, and situations change. For that reason, I think that wikis are better than blogs. Journal writing or fictional writing might be better suited to a blog. Non-fictional writing might be better suited to a wiki. Instructions might be better suited to a wiki, as circumstances pertinent to the instructions might change.
