Wiki+Blogging

This is a sample of how blogging could work in a wiki. There are two different ways to accomplish the same dialogue. One way is to post an entry on the wiki page such as this...

What does a string of laughter make you think of? media type="file" key="wiki domination.wav" width="300" height="50" How about this string? media type="file" key="laughing babies.wav" width="300" height="50" And finally, this string... media type="file" key="man laughing.wav" width="300" height="50" Please post a brief explanation of the string of laughter you best identify with and explain why.

McKenzwl: I identify with all three laugh tracks. The sinister laugh is sooo me when I tell my daughters that they must clean their rooms before playing. The babies laughing is just a good make you smile track. If you didn't smile during that one, you must be having a wretched day. The final track could be me laughing. Everyone needs a good belly laugh every now and again. If you haven't had yours today...get it on.

In order for your students to post comments to this blog, you would need to give them specific instructions as to how you would like their comments to appear. For example, you may require their username to precede the comment or maybe just their initials. Each new comment could be a color different from the preceding comment. Highlight the text and click the Text Editor icon at the top of the editor tool bar to change the color of your text. Keep in mind that any time a student is editing on your wiki they need to be members first.

A second method of conducting a blogging discussion on a wiki would be to use the discussion tab at the top of this page. There is a post and comment waiting there for you to explore.
