=__My Reflections__=

//First Encountering Wiki://
When I first encountered Wikispaces, I was unsure of what it is. Then, when I realized that my course, CCT333 requires me to do a project on it, I became even more frightened. I am definitely not one of those who are good with neither computers or with anything that requires me to do online – well, other than checking my e-mail and instant messaging.

Although I am not too enthusiastic about using Wikispaces, I do believe that Wikispaces is a great collaborative environment. Because Wiki is an online interactive website, people can review other people’s work anytime and anywhere there is internet connection. Even those that are far away, on the other end of the world, will still be able to communicate with others, without actually being anyplace near by.

Right now, I will just write down all my reflections on paper and add them to Wikispaces later on. I do hope that I will be able to learn this program soon. After I learn it, I do wish to be able to use it and share it with family and friends. Afterall, the reason I chose to join this course is to learn and be more familiar with online programs and other information technologies.

**//Posting, Editing, & Change://**
I would choose to contribute to postings that interest me. That way, I will be able to adjoin my knowledge to his / her work. And I will also be able to learn more about the topic of my interest. I would also do some research before any editing or change.

Editing other people’s work is a challenge to me. Sometimes, after something is changed, the other person may not like it or does not agree with the editor’s opinion. Should the editor re-arrange the content, the original author may oppose to it, as everybody has different ideas. But if I find a need to re-arrange someone else’s work, I would do so. If he / she does not like it, I am fine with it and respect his / her view. I like to maintain the overall idea / mood of the original author. I may add some facts, graphs, or pictures to enhance the outlook of their page.

I am a very open person, so if I see anyone has made changes to my postings, I would be happy. I guess my topic must be interesting enough to have attracted some attention. It is always nice to have a second opinion and that is the only way I can constantly be improving myself.

//Looking Back://
After I worked on the CCT333 Assignment 3, I have learned much more about Wikispaces. I became more confident in using it. I was not as repulsive as before. Wikispaces does make collaborative work more convenient. It is always at hand reach. When in need of ideas, one can use the search function right on the page and look at other people’s work.

I really like how Wiki does not require much knowledge and it is actually very easy to learn. There are not overloaded amounts of options so there should not be too much confusion. It also gives a sense of reward after one has posted his own page, as other people are able to view the hard work. What I liked best about Wiki is its search button. When I encounter a problem, it allows me to look at what other people did and gain some idea from that.

I wish Wiki has a more attention-grabbing home page. It might attract more people to the website. For example, Friendster has lots of pictures and bright, multicolors. Another idea would be for Wikispace to provide a detail, step by step tutorial for new beginners.
