The Difference between a Wiki and a Blog (from a chat with Adam F. of wikispaces at Tappedin.org )
The simple answer is that a blog is like a journal. It's great if you want to have an ongoing dialogue or discussion. Say, if the kids are keeping a daily diary about their homework, or about any topic.A wiki, however, is less about new content every day, and more about evolving the same content over time.
So for example, on a wiki, you could have a student post an essay, and then another student can make some additions and corrections, and another, and another, and over time the essay improves and becomes the work of the whole class.
Blogs are about communicating, wikis are about getting work done, or working together.

Great discription of the difference. I hope to have students wiki about books I have reviewed and they have read. Blogging will allow me to track processes in the library and by allowing others to read, will allow students and parents to read what we are doing.
