REFLECTION
//**Oct. 31, 2006**// Since I experienced the community involvement of wikispaces in CCT300 and CCT205, I knew what I had to do to keep up with CCT333. The collaborative learning environment of wikispaces is very inticing and allows me to express my thoughts and opinions on a specific topic. In addition, editing other people's pages allows me to implement my ideas on the topic and improve the page. Some expectations that I have for myself in regards to wikispaces is to continuously edit other users' pages and develope my own aswell. CCT205 was the first time that I was introduced to wikispaces which I found was extremely difficult to get started, however, in CCT300 I knew what was suppose to be done, so it was less of a hassle to get started, but in CCT333, I created a page immediately and began to edit pages immediately aswell. Lastly, as an experienced participant, I can contribute to wikispaces by simply editing numerous pages and adding interesting and helpful information that I have learned throughout all my CCIT courses.

In terms of adding information onto other people's pages, I try to add a paragraph point and not just a sentence or two. In addition, I refrain from deleting or taking out information that others have posted on, because I think that they posted that information for a reason and that is completely their opinion. Furthermore, I contribute to pages of interest to me and not just any page. I feel that I can add more helpful and informative content to pages that are interesting to me, otherwise I would just add a sentence or two which I believe is not enough information. Plus, adding information is not the only thing that I do to other pages. I also add related images and re-arrange the page to make it easier to read. So far, no one has deleted any information that I have posted on, however, I have checked my pages, and there are people that added information to my pages which I find extremely helpful. In addition, it feels good to see people adding information to my pages, because it proves that I have created pages that are interesting to them.

Looking back on my views earlier this term, I believe that my views have not changed in regards to collaborative learning. However, I do feel I am more knowledgeable about certain topics within the course such as Digital Divide, Accessbility issues, and Cascading Style Sheets, and being able to share my knowledge with my peers and theirs with me, makes me to realize that collabrative learning is so important and extremely helpful. An idea that can improve this collabrative environment, is if Wikispaces would allow its users to download and share video and audio files related to certain topics for better understanding of a topic since a lot of people as myself are visual learners. Lastly, one thing that I found productive about using wiki, is the sharing of knowedge freely with very limited restrictions. Another thing, being able to create a page on whatever the user desires is also a great characteristic about Wikispaces, because it allows the user to express her/his views and concerns on a specfic topic. In conclusion, as in previous courses, wiki is completely refreshing and extremely useful for general topics and for constant updates on the course such as lectures and readings.
