Blog, Wiki, and Nings are all forms of communicating with other people online. A Blog is like a diary or a journal. Someone can write down what they’re opinions or feelings; as well as information and observations. A Wiki is a social network. It can be compared to like a “Facebook.” A wiki allows for online community interaction. A Ning is what you can use to create a social network. So you would use a Ning to create a Wiki.
The differences between all three are very distinct. The differences are somewhat stated in their definitions. A blog is more personal and one person’s point of view. A wiki is more public with interactions between a group of people. A ning is the forum for where you can allow for interactions between group of people.
All three can be used in education. A teacher can use a Ning to create a social network (aka: a Wiki) for her own classroom. Each of the students can then posts blogs in their wiki to communicate with the teacher and other students in the class.
