What are Blogs and Wikis? “ A blog is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. The modern blog evolved from the online diary , where people would keep a running account of their personal lives.” “ A wiki is a medium which can be edited by anyone with access to it, and provides an easy method for linking from one page to another. Wikis are typically collaborative websites , though there are now also single-user offline implementations.”

Mountaintops Provides a teachable moment to explain research on the Internet. All wikis provide a backup and will show who has modified the content. This allows you to block or monitor who is posting what to your wiki. There are three ways to set up a wiki: - Public and anyone can contribute; - Public and people who become members may contribute; - Private and only invited people may contribute and view the wiki.
