Wikis vs. Blogs

I think I'm fairly knowledgeable in the difference between blogs and wikis. I personally prefer wikis than blogs due  to the fact that I'm not a big share I'm more of a collaborator.

I have a lot of coworkers that blog for leisure and for their  classroom and I think it's pretty cool platform to get your voice out there to be heard.

My hope is maybe through this course I can grow a fondness and appreciation for blogging and to dabble more into the blog arena.
