The idea of wikispace floated in my head for three weeks already. Much confusions arised, but many questioned answered by now. I have never used Wikispace before except when I need to scope for resources for assignments or research person. I find wikispace as an excellent resource center, and now that our class content is in Wikispace, i find it really convenient.

At the beginning, something like enrolling into this wikispace seemed such a hurdle; but then that whole process only took me 3 seconds. I found that in order for me to know this space well is by browsing through pages and to see what this site has to donate. My biggest challenge now is to figure out how to contribute more to this site, and to develop a media genre so that my space could be listed under the table of contents too.


 * October 17th**:

It's been a while since I have update my analysis and reflection page. Last week I was busy with the graphic novel analysis and plus a few mid-terms, therefore neglecting the wikispace for just a lilttle. But today, I am back to contributing to this space. I added Friendster under the Table of Contents and also created a page under the same name. This time around, I found it easier than last time because I have used Wikispaces for more than just a few times by now, and I have finally got used to it. My next goal in Wikispace is to go through some of the pages and to pay some contribution not only on my personal page, but on other's. I also have to start researching on culture jamming for upcoming project.


 * October 29th:**

Today I reformatted my cmoputer and I realized I haven't used ICQ for a long time. Actually, ever since I adopted MSN Messenger. I remember five to six years ago, I would always go on ICQ to chat with my friends. Back then, I did not even use MSN. Now, a few years later, I ignored ICQ totally. The more I thnk about it, I believe that it was an excellent media genre and so I decided to create a page under it's name.


 * Month of November**:

It was a hectic month for the month of November. Much work in preparation for CCT 300 Group Project were needed. I have created a total of three papers already under the table of contents. They are Billboards, Friendster, and ICQ. I notice that I will only click into pages that I am related to or interested in. But I know i will learn much more if I browse to other pages that I have no clue about. I know Wikispace is a accumulative, on-going process. Through these few months, I have learnt how to add pages, edit pages, and even upload pictures. Also, through the group project that we are repsonsible for, I realized that after many trials and errors, the ending product is better appreciated.


 * Dec 3rd:**

There is only a few dats until this wikispace assignment is due. I have somewhat neglected this space for a while, but I am now back making my final contributions to end this long waiting outcome.
