Should all large presentation/projects/assignemts that we create in graduate school automatically be presented in blogs or wikis? Thereby making our ideas interactive and/or accessable?

This seems like one of the most ideal ways to receive feedback from peers and professors, also to create a dialoge that continues beyond traditional critique time. It provides an opportunity to collect thoughts when providing a response, also to do so at one's leisure. Posting concepts / presentations that have single images or videos work well, but I have found, personally, that posting a slide show format can be challenging in terms of hosting.
I think all is a big word. There are some things we may wish to keep private. I do however think that it would be a great idea for a large part of work.
There is definitely room for standards to be established in college level classes, where assignments migrate to the blog or wiki or ??? medium and traditional research papers are sunsetted. But it MUST be clear. The online component of a class must match perfectly with the classroom component. There can be no gray area, or online syllabus directions conflicting with spoken classroom directions. Perhaps instead of requiring blogs specifically, each student should be required to create on online presence, such as a rich web site, where profs and students can check up on each other's work and collaborate on research. That IS the original purpose of the web anyhow.
I think that the most beneficial way for us to get the most out of a course is to be able to see/hear/reflect/comment/discuss on each others work. What one person might notice or think of another might not. It is a great way to combine a wide variety of thought processes and angles into one specific learning environment. With that said, for the sake of the privacy, people should still have the option of what they want to share.

I think that the option is great but to make it a rule would be a bad idea in my opinion.
It's a great way to share ideas and generate dialog within a group, but challenges arise when it is open to public view.

Although ideal and a great idea, I don't know if I would want all of my work accessible by all on the internet.
