Good wiki news

This very cool story about the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County gives me hope for libraries and relevancy in the 21st century! The IT director charged her staffers with finding and using Web 2.0 technologies in the course of their jobs. The results? They developed a program called Learning 2.0 which is being [...]

Great article on blogs vs. wikis
Posted in Blogs, Wikis on July 15, 2007 | 3 Comments »
While doing some background for my Monday workshop, I came across a great comparison of blogs vs. wikis, from a professor at Bemidji State University in Minnesota. I especially liked her following idea:
