Second class assignment

Are things getting easier? Maybe.... it's always so instructive to learn something new, down a whole new path -- besides what I learn, I'm also reminded how tricky it can be to learn something new. Useful for when I teach!

Blogs vs. Wikis? Blogs seem more "I post, you respond", while Wikis seem more "we create collaboratively". Also, if one is posting material for other people to actually use, a Wiki seems much better for organizing the information. I like the demo Wiki (I think it was the OU one) that used this as a format for showing users/patrons how to find and choose good sources for particular types of questions; we've been talking about that in our library, and this could be a good method.
