Day 5 Blog

Watch the video clip on "blogs" and the one on "wikis". In your own words, sum up what a blog / wiki is, their purpose, who uses it, when it is used and how it is used. Think about how wikis compare to blogs.

A blog is something where every bodys posts there own ideas and arent able to change them. In a wiki you can change anything that is written down. A blog could be used for telling people information of about what you think. A wiki can be used for the same thing but people can change what you have written down. Matthew.L

In a blog you can post your own kind of news or comments about your interests. In a wiki you can create one first and then other people can edit and save it. I think I would use a wiki rather than a blog because Ican make one and other people can edit and save. I also think it is better because it is a better way to communicate.

A blog is a page that people can share news, that other people can read. Only the owner of the blog can edit it. A wiki is shared amongst a group of people that they use to plan something. They all can edit it. Blogs are owned by one person, where as a wiki is owned by two or more.

The biggest difference between a blog and a wiki is one can be edited and one can not. A blog is posted by one person and once it is published it can not be changed. A wiki can be edited and changed as many times as wanted after being published. I think I would find more use in a blog because it is your comment and once published it can not be changed. The only bad thing about a blog is that if you say something that wants to be changed, you can not.

Blogs: Blogs are a webpage that a single person or a group can start. People can go onto your blog, read your posts and coment o them.
Wikis: Wikis are webpages that allow people other than the creator to add information, items, list, ect. to the webpage. Wikis are a good tool if you need to communicate with a group of people instead of using everyday email.

A blog is saying things to anybody, so anyone can see it. On a blog you post, and people respond, and a conversation begins, with anyone commenting on your post of the day. A wiki is shared through a select group of people where you can work together better, as in corresponding. You can add, remove, edit, post a new link if there is a secondary subject, and have an overall better result instead of a blog.

A blog is a site where people can spread news about things they do and other people can comment and post about your news and have a conversation about it. A wiki is a site that you can use and that you can edit by the click of a button and you can use the site easier then email. Their purpose is to make news and information easier then trying to get into the newspaper or having to make plans over email. They both compare by making things easier for the blogger.

I think wikis sound easier to use but blogs could be better because the person who owns the blog has to ok the message. Were as wikis anyone could go on and mess with it. I am not sure because I have never used a wiki but I think anyone could write something on it.

A blog/wiki is basically a way to get out news or for people to express there personal opinion. The biggest difference is that a blog only can be changed by the user. A wiki can be changed by anyone. Many people use a blog because most are free to use. Blogs/wikis are used everyday now a days to express opinions and get out news.

A blog is a type of website where people leave comments and others reply or read and post thier own comments for others to do also. You can not change a comment. A wiki is a type of website where people can post comments and others can cahnge and edit them to make them better. Wikis and Blogs are both cool ways to communicate but can not be credible data.

A blog is a news page on the internet that everyone can see and comment on. A wiki is somewhat like an online chatroom. One person posts something to the page and others can see it, edit it and change it. Anyone on the internet can use either a blog or a wiki. Wiki's are like blogs because they both are on the internet and anyone can go on them. Its another way to interact over the internet.

A blog is used to share information. It can be used to share news, interests, and many other things. Almost everyone can use one. A wiki can be used to get organized. For an example, say you went on a camping trip and you and your friends needed to make a list about what was needed and what you had. A wiki makes it easy. Anyone can edit it. There are two buttons, edit and save. So if one person put information on what that group had another person could update it. It would be perfect for people who are planning trips. Blogs are used for only one person to share their personal information while a wiki is used for groups.

A blog is a person's personal story that only they can write, but others may comment on. A blog is used to share stories and news. In a wiki, everyone can contribute to writing things. Wikis could be used for making lists or planning events.

Kris said...

Blogs and Wikis are used all over the world. They are websites that let people share their feelings with the world. They have many purposes such as organizing activities, expressing opinions, and even making an online encyclopedia. People of all ages use blogs and wikis because they are one of the easiest ways of communicating online.

A blog is used to tell news and thoughts about todays society. A wiki is like a communicator. It can be put on by someone and edited by others. They are put on by people that have something to say. Wiki's are compared to blogs by haveing different purposes.

A blog is a site that lets you share news with other people. Anyone that is interested can read your blog and comment. A wiki is a website where, by clicking on the edit button, you are able to add new infomation and update the information on the site. People everywhere use blogs to write about their interests and to share information with others. People use wikis when they plan something or feel like adding something.

a wiki is where you plan out something and a blog is where you talk about a certain thing and post things on the internet

After watching this videos i know the diffence in what a wiki is and what a blog is. The purpose of a blog is for people to learn or read about information on what is happening around the world from a persons perspectives. Anyone can use a blog, also anyone can use wiki. You use a blog when you have something to share and all you do is go onto your blog and post something you want to. On the other hand a wiki is used for a group who is organizing something, also you can learn alot by it. It is used for all kinds of things, you join in a group and in that group you can easily share information or ideas.

brandon said...

A blog is a place where people post news that they think is important or entertaning. a blogs purpose is for people to communicate together about things they like. People who want to share there ideas. A wikis is a website where you can comunicate with more than one person. people who want to communicate neat and organized. when you want to plan something. you just edit it and save it then repeat.

Mandee said...

Blogs are mostly used for people who are interested in about anything, they can blog about there passion for msuic, art and sports, it could be anything they want. A wiki helps a person or a group to organize what they are doing and allow them to edit and save or link other pages to it and is a better place than e-mail, blogs and wikis are similar by comments and additions to the topic.

kelli said...
