Wiki is useful for group projects, you can log in and change the context. on the other hand you can respond to one question or topic of discussion. it's like brainstorming, it gives you wide range of thoughts and opinions related to one topic. The main difference, then, between a wiki and a blog becomes the layout and organization of information. A wiki becomes a continually modifiable easy-access web page, while a blog's journalistic style catalogs and dates content so readers can see the interchange of ideas related to the blog topic in question.

Blogs reflect the process of learning, of going through a learning experience that may not result in a final product. Blogs can be easily criticized by anyone on the internet, user fellows or anonymous people.
