Wiki+Reflection

**__Reflection toc __**
When Professor Jones said that our first assignment would be collaborating on a wiki space with the class, I was scared. I didn’t know what to expect and I honestly thought I would have no idea what to do since I have never collaborated on a wiki before. But once I got on the space, I found that it was really simple to use and got the hang of it. The functions are straight-forward and I enjoyed this assignment very much. It was a great way for the class to interact with one another by sharing information and ideas. Overall, this has got to be the most interesting projects that I have ever worked on.

**__Contributions__**
__**Personally, I started this assignment a bit later than I would have liked to. At first I didn’t know where to start. Should I add on to someone else’s or create my own. So I looked around at other people’s contributions and figured out how they were formatting the information. This gave me an idea of how I would display my work. My topic of interest was narrowcasting, so I opened it up and there was quite a bit of information on that. I was hoping to have contributed a substantial amount to that, but it was too late. I went on the internet to search it anyways and I came upon a term called multicasting. So I started a new page for it. I research ironically on wikipedia and one other source to gather my information. After all my information was put on, someone changed my format a bit by adding those lines after each heading and made it look more professional. I also added a section to AOL talking about a merger it had with BBC.

**__Suggestions__**
I think that wikis are an excellent way to communicate with our peers and it should remain a part of the curriculum because it showed us that by working together, we can obtain new information and experiences that we can’t independently. We had a good amount of time to work on it, but some students still wind up waiting until the last minute to doo their work and for this kind of a project, that is not possible. So maybe if there was more time, we can contribute even more and make the wiki much better. It is also very important to provide good and accurate information because that is what determines your mark. And if you only contribute a small amount, it’ll show in your mark.
