Positives and Negatives about blogs and wikis

One of the tasks from last week was to reflect on some of the positives and negatives about blogs and wikis being used for school work. Below is a list of what I think are some of the pros and cons.

Positive:

• Work on assignments from home
• Interactive 
• Online diary
• Students can collaborate in an interactive way from home
• Encourages shy students to voice their opinions

Negative:

• Students can edit others wikis
• Some students may not have the internet at home
• Could encourage sloppy grammer
• May disadvantage students with poor computer skills
• Confidentiality
