[Web4lib] Wikis vs blogs

[Kristen Shea]

   Hello all,
      Since everyone was extremely useful yesterday in answering my question
about ESL programs. I greatly appreciate everyone taking time out of their
busy schedules to respond.
      My next thing that I'm trying to decide on is the best method of
communicating with the students, besides e-mail. I was thinking that the
wiki would be cool and innovative but I do worry about the students erasing
comments or things like that. With a blog, I could make posts about various
ideas/events but I'm not sure if that would necessarily initiate
communication/talk with the student body. Does anyone have experience with
either of these mediums? If so, what were the pros and cons of the different
forms of media you used? Also, if you used wiki or blog, which software did
you use?
       Thank you very much! I would greatly appreciate everyone's imput!
