**Analysis and reflection**
1. This is my first time using Wikispaces. At first I had a real hard time using the features in this system, but after four or five times using it, I felt it became very handy. I can edit whatever and wherever I want to edit, and create my own spaces and pages. This is just like public blog, it allows everyone coming here and edit whatever they want. I had no expectations at beginning when I use it, because it is hard to use for a rookie. But now, I realized that this wikispaces is just like a big community. Everyone who creates their own spaces are the members. I hope that there will be lots of people entering my pages and edit my pages and spaces. I also go to other people's pages to edit. In this way everyone can learn lots of new things from other people, and other people can also learn things from you.

2. I don't check wiki too often, but when I choose a page to read or to contribute, I choose those pages have interesting topic, or strong attractive ( color or pictures ) first page. It is fun that I don't need to ask other people's permission in order to edit their work or making comments. When I have my own opinions on other people's pages, I would click edit this page and add my own opinions on. Since I've created my own pages, no one has come to edit yet.

3. The experience this year using wikispaces, I found that this system is way to free for every user to edit all the pages in wikispaces. As myself for example, I linked cubism in the Hierarchy of Media Genres page to my the page I created, but when I checked it again few days later, the link was gone. So I needed to link it again. This wikispaces does not protect user's pages well, it gives too much freedom to the users. I've been learning a lot from other people's research about media genre. I went through many of people's research about media genre, and I learned lots of histories of specific media. This is what I found that this wikispaces if very powerful of letting people learning from other people, this is a advantage that I think. So far I think this course is very interesting for me, the only thing I found that need to improve is the lecture notes, it would be better that there are more details in the notes.
