 * I have never been involved with a wikispace before, but I plan on contributing some worthwhile information on material pertaining to this course. To date I use Wikipedia on a regular basis to familiarize myself with certain topics. In fact, for me it has become my first online destination for finding information on people, places, ideas and things. It is my hope that our CCT300 wikispace builds up on certain topics already presented in Wikipedia's vast archive.
 * My expectations are to write about concepts or topics of which I am knowledgable in and to correct any erroneous information that I may come across.
 * My contribution to this wikispace will likely be of topics that not only interest me, but also allow for my input regarding things which I have considerable knowledge with. To me, this is the best way of making myself an active and beneficial participant in the CCT300 wikispace.

 * I look to edit and change postings on topics which I am familiar with. For example, having read a Will Eisner book, I sought out an online page which I could share my knowledge regarding his books and parts of his life. The same could be said about the posting on Borat. Because I have a great interest in movie box office data, I wanted to share the information regarding its financial success and production cost.
 * I feel that changing the presentation or information of other's people work is a worthwhile concept as long as the changes reflect a better understanding of the content. Moreover the I would hope that any changes would be made in the name of factual correctiveness. In general, misinformation is a dangerous thing. That is, if no one realizes an online posting displays incorrect information, my worry is that others will simply take the wikispace posting as an irrefutable fact.
 * I do not check often for alterations on my postings, however to date, no one has changed my work.

 * I found it difficult to find topics that appealed to me or had knowledgable experience with. For instance, though I added some information to the Borat topic, I'm sure it had little relation to the course. Moreover, I found that no one even corrected or modified my Will Eisner page and I'm quite certain that there could have been something to add. After all, being able to get another vantage point is always a good thing.
 * Some benefits from participating in the CCT300 Wiki was I had the ability to see what others had to say about certain topics of interest, making the community a more enjoyable experience.
 * In the future, the course should encourage students to only focus on creating one topic page. This way pages that clutter the table of contents section offering little to no information would not exist. By doing this, students would be more likely to modify other well developed topic pages. In addition, I would implement a section devoted to


 * challenges or limitations you experienced while working collaboratively on wiki
 * advantages or benefits from participating in this wiki
 * things about the course you thought worked well and/or suggested improvements

Contributions to Wikispace:
>
 * October 15, 2006:**
 * Edited a paragraph on Maus in the Graphic Novels section, which included a link to an Art Spiegelman work and correcting some grammatical/spelling errors.
 * I also added a whole paragraph on Will Eisner's To the Heart of the Storm. I later added an image from the seminal book.

>
 * November 15, 2006:**
 * Created a new section on the box office success of Borat. It not only gives information about its weekend gross, but its per-venue average and other films comparable to its phenomenal success.
 * Added more production information to the Borat topic and corrected the spelling of his last name from Sagdiev to Sagdiyev.


 * November 23, 2006:**
 * Created a new topic page devoted to Will Eisner and his impact on the world of comic art.

>
 * December 06, 2006:**
 * Completely overhauled the writing found on the Ligne Claire page by correcting spelling and grammar. A header was added to the first two paragraphs. More importantly though, large sections were reworded and added to. This included a paragraph under the "Influence in the World of Comic Art."
 * A quick look at //Dec, 06 6:45pm// on the history page will reveal most of these contributions.
