Some challenges and limitations that i found when working with the wiki is that it is hard to find help sometimes when you don't know what you are doing. For example, this is my first time using wiki and I wasn't too sure how to create a table of contents or how to create anchors within the page. I could not even find in the help menu how to create the table of contents, which is actually a pretty simple process and the help page for creating anchors was kind of confusing. I also noticed that the wiki does not allow more than one person to edit a page at the same time. This is sometimes a disadvantage, especially when your are working in groups.

One advantage of participating on wiki is that it teaches you how to collaborate with people. You are able to add your own ideas and can benefit from other people's point of views as well. Another advantage is that you are free to talk about ay topic of your choice that relates to media and can examine that topic from any angle. There are no real restrictions and you are free to express yourself. advantages or benefits from participating in this wiki

The thing that I think worked well for the course was the amount of group work. It forces you to collaborate as a team and I think that is an important skill to have.

I think adding or editing other people's work is not necessarily a bad thing. By being able to add or edit other people's work, it can give their work a different perspective on the topic, add something that they may not have known about or even make it look better aesthetically. So far, I have only checked for changes on my own page a couple of times. I haven't noticed any major changes on my page and it could be because I added as much info as possible on my page. I actually welcome changes and additions to my page because i think that someone might be able to add things that I didn't think to add.
 * When looking for pages to add things to, I just look for the topics that interest me and things that I feel I know something about.

__October 6, 2006__** This is my first time using Wikispaces and I'm still not too sure how everything works. I think it's a great idea to be able to elaborate on other people's ideas or have them elaborate on yours. It can help to add more substance to something you've written and even help you learn something that you may not have already known. I am still not too familiar with all of the features but it seems as though it has a very easy platform. There are buttons for creating links, you can style the text as you please and even add pictures to make the page your own. Although this seemed overwhelming at first, it seems like it gives you almost totally freedom to be as creative as you want to be.
