While adding my entry to the newington23things wiki, I started wondering about a few things. Wikis open to editing by members appear to be "wide open". I tested that by editing my wife's entry with her permission. Sure enough, I could change what she previously entered. I am not sure how that would work in an educational setting. When I setup my blog in Thing 2, I purposely set it so I could moderate any comments. That would prevent anything "inappropriate" from ever being seen in public. (Not that this group would ever do such a thing!) I guess that highlights the difference between the two. A wiki would be a more interactive way of collaborating, while a blog could become a place to pontificate and accept or reject any comments. I then created my own wiki and tried entering text, links, images, and video. It was all quite easy and sort of anti-climactic after all we have been through.

Your scenario regarding editing someone else's text is a valid point. That is why the history tab is so useful - you can view the original posts and see what has been changed and by whom. An excellent feature to monitor just this!
