Part ONE
Wikispaces is really interesting because we get to see collaborative works put together by all the students in my CCT 300 class. In the beginning, I had to brainstorm of what is and what is not acceptable as to content wise and in relation to CCT 300's topics. Expectations for myself is to be respectful and professional when deciding what type of contents to put and when editing and contributing to other students pages. I had previously done work on last winter's CCT 205 course. I had started contributing late and alot of contents had been written about. It was more difficult to edit and add on to other people's pages than starting my own topic.

Part TWO
I choose to edit or add to the postings related to the topics that I've written about. It is interesting to learn more about the topics that are closely related to what I have writen about. I also like to browse through the links that are neat and organized because the information is not scattered everywhere. This makes it more faster for me to scan through since it is not fun reading a lot of words off the screen. In adding, editing or re-arranging other people's works, it is important to respect what they have contributed as respects to the content and layout. We must remember that by providing readers with accurate information will lead everyone in the right direction. I regularly check my own postings for alterations because I am interested to see what others has to add onto. It will improve my future postings because I will be able to think of more and more things to research about. Others has not changed my work. They either added on more information or changed the layout to make it look more presentable.

Part THREE
Challenges that I've encountered while working on wiki is the contents. It is difficult to edit pages that have a huge amounts of content already. It is difficult to find relevant articles in respects to the narrower topics. What we have in mind maybe different than the original author who started the page and there may be a conflict of interest. Advantages from participating in this wiki is gaining knowledge. It is easier to read contents that are related to this course when it is all in one place. Many articles are interesting and it would take me too much time to search through the whole net for these articles. Also, I would have never searched these articles myself just because I am not aware of them. I like the different perspectives of media we looked at throughout the course. The comics analysis was fun because we get to explore different aspects of media besides the conventional television, radio, news...etc. The variety of online readings were long, but they are in depth studies and they have helped me with this wiki. Suggestions that I have is finding a wider range of media coverage to study.
