All of these sites are free, but some have options for upgrading to a paid account for more features.
BLOGS
- WordPress.com (by far the most popular free blogging site
- Tumblr (a close second in popularity to WP and gaining; much more limited interface, but super easy to use)
- Edublogs (WordPress-powered site for free student blogs and low-cost instructor blogs)
WIKIS
- Wikispaces (free wiki site — very popular with educators)
- Wikidot (free wiki site — more visually appealing than above, IMO)
