Blogs VS. Wikis

    Blogs and Wikis are the webpages that we use to share our ideas and views. They both are convenient. We just need an account, log into it using electronic devices or computers , and then we post information. However, they have their own special features: blogs usually have one author. Sometimes, maybe two people own a blog account . Many people use personal blogs to share their experiences, feelings and views on some events. Some experts share their knowledge using blogs. Some neighborhood have their blogs to get informed of what happened around them. As the article called Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid mentioned, neighbors reported the suspicious activities around them. Blogs can spread information. However, because only a few people can access to a certain blog, some information may delayed. Wikis is a  different webpage. All the people in the same team can edit the information on the wiki, so information can be organized and updated promptly. As the article called How to Use Wikis for Business stated, " Wikis are designed to facilitate the exchange of information within and between teams".Wikis is good for work team or a study group. Team members can get the most updated information. However, some wrong information may spread out, if a team member put up wrong information. For example, we know Wikipedia. Everyone can contribute information to it. If the information is not authentic, readers will receive wrong information.





 

 

  

The Proposal of My Research Paper

Title of my research paper:

The impact of web media in teaching

Description: As technologies advance, web media are applied to school teaching. Many school have smart boards. Teachers can play videos, search information immediately for students, and write on the screens. Technologies provide a lot of convenience for teaching. Students can just sit in the classrooms and know about the outside world without traveling by themselves. Teachers can just connect to the people or places which are out of classroom. We have online classes. Students don't need to go to school in person. In this way, web media change the way of teaching. That's why my research paper will focus on the impact of web media in teaching.I will use Brooklyn College library and public library's resources to study the related topic.
