Blogs and Wikis

50 Ways to Use Wikis... had several ways to use a Wiki that I might use. One idea was the correction competition where students vie to see who can find all the errors in a document filled with errors. Peer editing is another possible for a writing class. To get feedback is another way I might use a Wiki.
From the article about blogs, I thought making use of the commenting feature was possible. Also, if I feel really brave I might try to ask the students to create their own blogs, but I'd have to feel really brave.It might be fun to try and link to another English class somewhere in the world. Journal entries is another possible idea.
