These are all three great ways in which to communicate and share all sorts of information to anyone who may be interested. They can be created by just about anyone and for pretty much any reason however; some of them will work better than others depending on what the purpose may be. Websites and wiki sites seem to be very similar and both are used to display all different kinds of information. Websites however seem to be more professional and used more by companies and services. Wiki sites on the other hand I have only experienced through use in the different classes I have taken. Wikis have one other thing that differs from a website in the fact that it is able to be edited by anyone you would like. You are able to have it open to the public to edit or you can also limit the people who have access and invited them. I think that wikis would be have great use for the classroom not only at the college level but at just about any level. It would be a great way to share different students work, allow feedback from peers, and post discussions etc. Blogs are a bit more different than websites and wikis. Blogging seems to be used as more of a personal use, and to express different thoughts that you may have about certain topics, journal/diary, or to keep people informed in something that you are involved in. I think that this would be a great thing for a teacher to use to keep both students and their parents informed about the various things that are happening throughout the week in their classroom/school. Blogging also gives the option for others to leave comments in order to communicate and create feedback. All in all I am glad that I have learned and become more familiar with these tools that have been accessible to me all along.
