What are Blogs and Wiki's?

What is a blog? A blog is a publishing tool that allows the author to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or sites, and a whole array of other content. Blogs are set up like conventional Web sites, with navigation links, and other standard Web site features. Postings are often short and frequently updated. (http://teachingtoday.com)
