Analysis **and Reflection**
//**1. Oct 23 2006**// For the past four weeks I struggled to use wikispace. The problem is I avoided to learn the whole application. For a first time user, Wikispaces is easy! This community application helps to improve awareness with the course. Wikispace will allow the students and I comprehend, understand and apprehend the course material with an intensive load of information pretaining to the course, produced by the students. The accessiblility of pages and information either typing and editing is beneficial for a collaborative learning environment. I expect myself to gain knowledge from leading examples presented by other students and the professors. And with the information I hold, I want to elaborate on relevant topics pretaining to the course to learn that conceptual thinking process cct300 implements.

//**2. Nov 16 2006**// I choose the postings that I wish to contribute are topics that I obtain previous knowledge from. Thses topics keep my mind busy with information flowing from on receptor to another. For instance, I read and analyzed V for Vendetta, any information I feel inadequate to the graphic novel, I will input my opinion and critical anaylst to that topic. Anything that is intriguing and informative about my virtual reality and the environment I habit. The ability to add, edit or rearrange others work can be uplifting and beneficial. Not only would I learn from reading that particular article (If I was adding info) the original authors can learn something from me. Different perspective and suggestions opens pandoras box for a further and better understanding of that particular topic. Every person can't retrieve all the information on one topic, you have to work together. Everyone learns something! Unfortunately, I have not regularly checked my work and postings for alterations. Revision is 90% of any written work, it only improves. But, if someone does change my work, I am open for more insight on my topic, I want to learn more.

//**3. Dec 08 2006**// From my use of wiki in this course I learned an abundance of information. The collaborative work environment is a great idea to learn anything! When you edit work your inputting knowledge and gaining it from working on that particular topic. This gives you a feel to express your mind and acknowledge your intelligence by helping. Everyone is a participant and everyone contributes something, you can't know everything! Many challenges I faced during the wiki process is just layout. Placing and referencing the information is easy, just type and go! But the layout is a nuisance from line by line layout. Pictures distort text arrangement and the text is not customizable. That is probably the only challenge I confronted. The layout, however, the layout is a big issue to wiki, If you can't put all your creative design into the site, you can get discouraged. This trails to something that can be improved in wiki. First, A freelance layout that allows to work with every inch of the page. Something like dreamweaver for the advance users. Second, It needs a variety of fonts to customize the page to your needs and it differentiates peoples topics! Overall, wiki was a great application to use, it avoided paper and consistent paper hand-ins for cct300. I experienced a lot and will enjoy using it again, and learning from it!
