At least these are normal names, right?
From my understanding, blogs are websites in which people can respond to your postings. These posting will only show up on a specific postings page and others cannot edit your posts. A wiki is similar except viewers can edit your actual posts. So what you post may change very soon after. I think that a ning is intended for people to post questions about a particular interest. In education nings, a teacher could ask a question and other teachers could respond with their expertise.
In education, these could all have their place. A class blog would be a great way to inform your students and parents about what is happening in your classroom.
A wiki would be a great way for your students to work on group projects together. This way they could be interacting and working together from home. With different family schedules, this is a pretty good alternative to meeting in person.
A ning is a great tool for a teacher and the student. As a teacher, it is a great way to get advice from someone who may have more expertise than you. It would also be a great way for students to ask questions when they are home for the day. On the ning, students and you could respond to these questions.
