WIKI's Verses Blogs?
The open style of a wiki can be useful for group projects, while a blog may aid in brainstorming or generating discussion. Also, a combination of the two may best suit educational purposes
The main difference, then, between a wiki and a blog becomes the layout and organization of information. A wiki becomes a continually modifiable easy-access web page, while a blog's journalistic style catalogs and dates content so readers can see the interchange of ideas related to the blog topic in question.
They also differ quite a bit in broad terms-- a Wiki has what you might call an public voice - it's a collection of the input of the community of users who are interested in the content being managed.
A wiki is much more like a "traditional" website than a blog is. Once a page is created on a Wiki, it's just there (unless, it's deleted, just as with any other site). A blog is much more ephemeral. Typically, the main blog page will show the last N items or the last N days worth of items. Sure, everything is accessible via the archives or via search - but it's not just there. The top page of a Wiki, with the items it points to, is a (relative) constant. The top page of a blog changes with every posting

a blog is much more like an editorial page - and comments are akin to letters to the editor. The author of the blog retains ultimate control; he can choose to allow comments or not, and - like a newspaper - decide whether a given comment (or article) stays or goes.
