Analysis and Reflection:
Oct 5 - This is my first time using Wikispaces. I am still getting used to this site as it is preety confusing. I'm still not sure how to work around it but I am learning. Aswell, I am looking forward because it will be an interesting challenge. For the time being I am going to focus on my Analysis and Reflection assignment so will continue on this later.......

Nov - 16- I think this collaborative learning environment is really helpful and cool. Firstly, it helps other students interact with on other using a webspace. It is really useful because any sort of question can be posted up any time. Aswell it is accessible throughout the day which means that you can log on whenver you feel like it. Aswell, it helps students gain more knowledge on certain topics. My expecations so far are that I will learn how to use this space and become really good at it. Since I haven't taken wiki in any previous courses I think it will be quite a challenge for me to get used to this site as I am not very good with computers. However, I also feel that it won't take me too long to be able to use it as well as others.

Nov 16 - I choose my posting according to how interesting a topic is. Also, I browse around table of contents page to see what pages need some editing. At first I was a little apprehensive about editing or re-arranging other people's work because I thought they might not be happy with the results. However, later on I realized that people don't really get upset at such things but that is what community building is about. By editing we are helping out people with extra knowledge that we have. I don't regularly check my alterations, but sometimes I go back to see if others have added on it. It turns out to be helpful because then I know more about that certain topic. So far I have not decided on a posting. I have just edited other people's work. Today I will make a posting. I think I won't mind if people change my work because their editition will help my content look better, and incase I leave anything out they will add their information making it better for other viewers.

Dec 7 - My major challenge in this space was to keep up with the task of constantly updating. With alot of workload and travelling required for my downtown job I found is extremely strenous to go online for editing. However a major advantage wiki provided in my learning experience was to allow me to learn about things and topics I didn't know about earlier. For example I didn't know about the concept of voyerism and exhibitism until now. I fell one thing that needs to be improved upon is the range of topics we are allowed to discuss. I feel we should discuss anything and eveyrthing that has to do with media, rather than just the main concepts. Also, I feel that due to time constraints the way we do our edits should be changed. Wiki should not be based on first come first serve but rather each student should be assigned the number of edits they need to make. In conclusion it has been a great experience, hoping to do more wikis for future classes.
