Chapter 4

Read Chapter 4 - Wikis: Easy Collaboration For All; Pages 59-74Answer the following questions on your personal blog.If blogs are about conversation and wikis are about collaboration/content, which of the following student projects would you use each tool for? Why?

Novel study with author participation

I would suggest a wikis for this, For the reason that it has the ability to go to the masses. It is quick and easy to reach millions of people. Also the Author would have the ability to share his/hers point of view.

Students at two first nations schools in New Brunswick and British Columbia recording and
sharing native stories and music.

I think a Wiki space would be idea for this. A prime example for this is our current wiki space for this class, there is 57 students and we are located all over NB and Que. It also allows us to put on videos, links, and all kinds of goodies.

Daily science journal.

This is definitely a blog type of deal. This will allow you to keep take of your progress of your journal. It will allow others to comment on your progress as well as make suggestions. Blogs are fairly short.

Student creative writing with peer review.
This is also would be a blog. Because you can always edit post that you have already created. It also will allow other to criticize your work.
