Chapter 4 - Wikis: Easy Collaboration For All

If blogs are about conversation and wikis are about collaboration/content, which of the following student projects would you use each tool for? Why?

novel study with author participation
students at two first nations schools in New Brunswick and British Columbia recording and sharing native stories and music
daily science journal
student creative writing with peer review

I would use the one with students at two first nations' schools in New Brunswick and British Columbia recording and sharing native stories and music, because it will give a different point of view of two different schools, and maybe even nationalities. They may have different stories and music when the languages are different. It would also give other "reserves" a chance to comment on and add on as well. Wikipedia is a good tool for sharing stories and for others to add on or share as well.
