Project Finale

For my project, I of course had to make some edits. I added a couple of new pages, resized the pictures, edited some of the text, edited the links on the side bar, and resized some of the text to make it the same. I really think this project was beneficial to me. It was something I had no experience with and wouldn't have done if not for this class. No offense to the blogger people in the class, but I think making a wiki is more challenging and creative than a blog, which is something we all have experience with already. I think I could have easily done a blog on my topic and done fine, but I'm glad I picked the wiki because it is different and taught me about a valuable topic that can only grow in importance in the future. I think if I had to do it over again, I would use a different site than PBWiki just to experience what is different, though PBWiki was very good to me. I have to admit there were times where I wanted to pull my hair out over this and times when I doubted my ability to do a good job. But now I think that this is good and I am proud of it and what I learned from it and tired from all the time spent on it.

This class was very beneficial to me because I had never heard of Web 2.0 before coming in. I found out just how much I already used it but knew nothing about what I was using. I used to use Xanga for a short time in high school, so I knew about blogging a bit but the wiki was new. I didn't even realize I was able to edit Wikipedia before I took this course. I was really looking forward to learning how web 2.0 is going to change in the future, but now I realize we must wait and see for ourselves. I think my favorite part of the class was reading other people's blogs because it is always fun to know what other people are thinking.

Here is my link to my wiki

I tried to view your wiki and it said I didn't have access to it. Is it set to private?? Anyhoo I totally agree with you when it comes to wikis. I had no knowledge of how to use it and it was very challenging but some how I got through it. I will have to check back and get some tips on how to get in shape for the summer LOL!!
