=Summary of My contribution:=

As a member of the CCT205 wikispace, I feel terribly sorry because i should have contributed to the space much earlier before the due date. I was sick during reading week so I didn't look carefully into this assignment earlier. However, as I looked into it, I find the CCT 205 wikispace to be absolutely fascinating. Not only all the written works are organized neatly, the viewer can even see a list of who has edited each page. This is something I did not believe in before. I was thinking if anyone can edit other people's work then how can the teacher or anyone tell who did what. Well, I had to see it to believe it. You can even see every version of the different editors. I am also surprised at the amount of contributions. Seeing this just makes me regret that I didn't participate earlier. From now on, I will go on this space more frequently and see what people have to say about this course. I believe i will learn a lot if I can keep up with all the student's contributions.

=Reflections and Observations:=

Because i started slow, it took me a long time to figure out how things work on Wikispace. There are so much contents that I had a hard time picking out which one to read first. I think if I didnt' go to the tutorials I would not have known how to make new pages, make changes or edit anyone's work. In the beginning I panic on how hard it was to work around the space. After a while I get more used to the links and began to like this space. I find the contents the students have wrote are all very interesting and relevant to what we approach to in our daily lives. Contents such as Skype, Friendster, or e-commerce are programs I come in touch with everyday and can not be apart from. Also, as I see how other people contribute to this space I feel like I can actually learn a lot from my fellow classmates.

The one thing that i find especially intereing about this space is that I see a community. A community where all the citizens work together so well to maintain a safe, clean, educational, and enthusiastic environment. I am content that I belong in this space and am proud of it.

=Suggestions for CCIT students:=

I highly suggest future students to start looking into wikispace the first day it was introduced. Starting early on this assignment really makes a huge difference in the turn out.

Wikispace is a great way to communicate with the class mates and it is a wonderful place for sharing knowledge. Although some students may feel offended sometime when others edit their work but it is a way we learn to accept what others think of our opinion.

Unlike other university courses, this course really makes the students feel like they are part of the class by being part of the wikispace. You only gain when you give in.
