My wiki can be found at: Honors Biology Wiki
I think ther are certain times and situations where using a wiki would be very helpful. But, I can also see times where using a blog would be more appropriate. I was a little frustrated with the formatting on the wiki. I really like to have things formatted in a certain way, and even things like changing font size, alignment, etc... were harder to do on the wiki. But it would be great for assignments were I want students to colaborate and share their work.
I think that I blog is a format like a buffet...you come, take what you want, and consume it when and where you want. If you like it, you might return for more. A wiki seems more like a potluck. You need to have multiple people participating (otherwise it is just a blog). And those people probably need to participate at particular times in order to finish a project or meet a deadline.
There are definitely times where one or the other is more appropriate. And it would be advantageous to learn when to use which ones so that you didn't repeat content in too many places (not necessarily a bad thing all the time, but would be very time consuming...).
