 * Wiki and Blog Session**

Aspa gave a great lesson on blogs and wikis tonight and made the suggestion of posting our session summary in the form of a wiki.

We explored and compared a few wikis and blogs and noted the following features:

Wikis Wikis in plain English -provide a collaborative environment for multiple contributors to share and monitor ideas on a topic -wikis are policed by public monitoring -have areas for discussion -have space to navigate to other links
