Table creation of the differences between Wikis and Blogs

Creating this table was an interesting learning experience, and I wonder if other blog-building web pages allow tables to be inserted more easily than this one. On Blogger, there is no table button to insert a table. I had to Google how to build a table in Blogger, and websites popped up saying you had to program it in HTML view. Luckily, I found a website that had a table builder, and I had to figure out how to use it to create my table and then insert my information into it. That was interesting. Let's just say that while you are making the table, you don't know what it looks like until you click the preview button. The preview doesn't look anything like what you thought it would, and you have to go back and make adjustments, then preview again, repeating the process until it looks the way you want it to. 


Here is the table generator that I used:

A Wiki is a collaborative online space for students to view, contribute, and edit content. The instructor can see the process and evolution of the collaborative work and grade each participant individually.

A Blog is short for ‘web log’ and is considered a shared online diary. The Blog Tools can be shared to whole course, or the settings can allow for sharing between specific student groups and the instructor. Blogs can be used for more engaging
