Comparing the online spaces

Comparing and Contrasting: Blogs, wikis and websites

Differences: Blog
·         Web 2.0 tools
Differences: Wiki
·         Your own learning online space where people can comment on your ideas
·         Chronological
Similarities: Blog – Wiki – Website
·         Appeals and suits different learning styles
·         Enhances visual literacy
·         Encourages critical thinking skills
·         Encourage collaboration and authentic works
·         Link students to the world and other experts
·         Format their own pages
·         Can be accessed anytime, anywhere
·         Online spaces which relate to 21st Century learning
·         Maybe seen as distractions and time-consuming – to busy formatting the page
·         Anyone can edit the page
·         Web-based trust has to be established in order for wikis to be successful
Differences: Website
·         Static
·         No one can comment – not as interactive as a wiki or blog


Even though each online space has individual sets of tools and functions, they are similiar in the learning environment.
