The way we communicate is changing at an amazing pace. Only a few years ago if you heard someone say Blog, Wiki or Ning you would think they were speaking another language. Today they are common ways of communicating. Educators, social groups, individuals and businesses use Blogs, Wikis and Nings, all are ways of communicating however, each is unique in its own way.
Blogs are created as a way of sharing news, and information. A person logs in and posts what he/she chooses to post and maintains the blog, the reader is only able to comment on postings. Wikis are set up for total group interaction. Everyone is able to go on the Wiki page and edit the information. A Ning is a social network where a group of invited people can interact with one another as well as link their blogs.
As up and coming educators we need to be aware of these unique ways to communicate with students, parents and collogues. I will make an effort to incorporate Blogs, Wikis and Nings into the learning experience for my students and myself.
