Differences between blogs, wikis, and webpage sites–
Blogs: blogs are a great, informal way, of stating your opinion and sharing it with the entire web or a select amount of people. Blogs can be used for your own personal use (like a journal), a way of documenting progress of some sort and sharing it (diet and exercise plans), or a great way of updating family and friends of your adventures studying abroad. In the classroom, blogs can be used to discuss readings or topics with the whole class or a small group. Students can then comment on each others posts and reflect on what was discussed.
Wikis: To be honest, I do not see a point of a wiki. Wiki's can be used like a blog where a group of people can comment on a document, but blogs can do the same thing. Wikis are good for a classroom where students can contribute to an assignment of some kind. However, teachers need to monitor the wiki in case students try to change the wiki.
Websites: Websites are a great way to display information to a group. Teachers can make class websites where students can download assignments, parents can see what is going on in the classroom, etc... This is also great because no one else can change the information on the website. It is for their personal use. Websites can also provide external links to resources for parents and students and websites are always easy to locate compared to blogs and wikis.
