[WikiEducator] Re: Is there any difference between Wiki and googlesite ?
Basically, people collaborate using a wiki in order to change a single document or page, much like a google document (word processor, spreadsheet, or presentation); that is, people work together to collaborate on a particular piece of CONTENT. Although there is a discussion tab for posting, the heart of a wiki is using collaboration to change CONTENT. A blog and group (like google groups) are more for threaded discussions and are not concerned about editing a particular content page. Blogs tend to be more open to the public whereas groups are more closed (you typically need to be a member to either see posts or add to the posts). Most blogs you can add comments without being a member or having to sign in. There are exceptions and overlaps, but basically blogs are more open to the public and groups are more closed. Wikis are open, some allow people to change content without having an account while others require an account. You can get a deeper explanation by searching the web: What is a wiki? What is a blog? What is google groups? I hope this helps.

We should first diferentiate each one of the services Google has: *Google Sites *Blogger *Google Groups *Knol *so on * Google Sites is a platform for developing a traditional website. I have a Google Site and I definitely would'nt recomend it... it is still limited in many senses and HTML is extremely basic. * Blogger is great, but its more like a cronological list of events, which certainly can be categorized. It can be a nice collaborative tool. * Google Groups is a mailing list manager Forum. No more. * Knol, the new tool of Google is more like wikis, keeps logs of revisions. It has a nice edition tool. I have knoles for some spanish content. So far I have embedded images, videos, like blogger does. HTML is a bit more complete. * Wiki is still to me the king of collaborative platforms. They still lack in friendly edition, which can be sorted by building wiki skills. One important point in favor of WikiEd is its escalability as an open source application. There is an ever growing team of geek/tech folks developing improvements for this platform. I trust in the current capacities and potentialities of wikimedia platform.

Nellie, it is great, no doubt, but we won't be collaborating on the wiki, instead we would do this outside of WikiEducator. I think it works well in a business environment where you want to share documents with each other, working on it collaboratively without having to send email with attachments.

Although there is a discussion tab for posting, the heart of a wiki is using collaboration to change CONTENT. A blog and group (like google groups) are more for threaded discussions and are not concerned about editing a particular content page. Blogs tend to be more open to the public whereas groups are more closed (you typically need to be a member to either see posts or add to the posts). Most blogs you can add comments without being a member or having to sign in. There are exceptions and overlaps, but basically blogs are more open to the public and groups are more closed. Wikis are open, some allow people to change content without having an account while others

Great idea. Love the video. This fits quite well into the Open Computing project. I propose the following: I suggest creating a main page describing Google, http://www.wikieducator.org/Google , and its available tools with subpages for tutorials on how (and when/why) to use each of the available tools. I'll take the challenge to get this started. All are welcome to help.
