Blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other powerful web tools


Collaborative software includes,
Facebook, PB works and blogs and Wiki's

According to our textbook, Wiki’s have three basic pitfalls,

1. Content can be deleted and lost forever

2. Students can easily edit each other’s work

3. Wiki’s are Susceptible to spam and vandalism




Finding a wiki that can give you an option to revert to the last known correct version is one solution to these problems.



I also learned that RSS is one way to bring news to you instead of you looking for the news.

Here is a good explanation on what an RSS is...
