 Although wikipedia can bring convenient to us looking for resources, but in my academic is convenient, I will not use a Wiki for resources, this is because the Wiki is anyone can change the editor, it is not as powerful resources to support me in the use of resources to support my academic views. So when I meet don't know when I can go to a Wiki to understand, but I will not use the resources to support to my academic. I learned in this class in contrast the software, Blog is a kind of usually by individual management, not regular new articles posted. Blog articles according to post time, usually from new to old arrangement in reverse order way. Many blogs focus on a particular subject to provide comments or news, the others being more personal diary. A typical blog combines text, images, and other blog or website links, and other related to the theme of the media. Can make interactive readers to leave comments, is one of the important elements of many blogs. Most of the blog content is given priority to with the text, there are still some blogs focus on art, photography, video, music, podcasts, etc. Various topics. A blog is a part of social media networks.

I believe it is valuable to wiki and blog software, they all have their own different characteristics and advantages, I can't just use a specific tool, because every software can help to me. It is worth mentioning, I also like to use Google docs and Evernote, because these in my life and personal learning can help me a lot.
