Welcome to our Election Day workshop on Blogs and Wikis in the classroom. I'm anxious to hear your reactions to it, especially to what you have learned and what problems you are having in incorporating this exciting Web 2.0 technology into your life!

Can two people be editing a wiki at the same time?
I really enjoyed the video. It helped mucho.
The workshop is going to be very useful in my developing better lesson for my units; the students will actually want to do their work without realizing that they are doing "work."
As I understand it, wikis can be altered by other contributors but blogs cannot. This should help determine whether a blog or a wiki would better suit each assignment.
So far, I'm excited about creating a wiki! J. Calarco
Are we going to learn how to identify the editor to a page?
Do we need to have student make accounts to access the blogs/wikis?
Blogs are good tools to use for discussions about a subject that you may not have time in class to complete.
I am really excited about this workshop. I plan to use it extensively with my students
I want to create wikis for my 5 s.s. classes and have the kids read and write each other's essays etc.
You guys have had some great comments so far. I'll try to answer some of your questions.
The students need accounts to post blogs if you use a website like classblogmeister.com. If you use blogger (this one), they can create their own accounts. When we used wikispaces, we also created passwords for the students.
I will be happy to show you how to identify the editor of a page on a wiki site.
Robyn: You're write about one of the key differences between blogs and wikis. With blogs, no one can change your personal entry without your permisson. But with wikis, other people can make changes to stuff you have put on the page.
