Tools such as blogs, wiki spaces and websites are great tools to use within the classroom as you can reflect individually, discuss issues and share ideas and information with others. These tools also able you to set content control to authorise what information, comments and questions are displayed publically. Blogs are more of a reflective journal where others can comment but have no input on the content. A website is more of an informative tool that allows others to read but have no input incontent or feedback. Where as a wiki enables people to share ideas, communicate and edit within the tool.
One of these tools that I find most effective for classroom tasks is the wiki spaces as it is more of a shared group tool rather than an individual tool like a blog or a website. Communication is made easy through all memebers being able to post, edit and delete information, photos, videos and links. It is also a great tool for a discussion area as students can post comments, share ideas and easily communicate without having to be in the same room.
Here are links to my weebly website and to my wiki space, both designed to provide information about course activities and exploring online tools that are part of Managing E-Learning
