In terms of working in the wiki I worked on a wide variety of pages. Ones I was assigned from reading and ones I gained an interest in from reading and replying my fellow classmates blogs on said topics that are part of digital writing. I worked with these select pages.
In reflecting back on my contributions to the wiki, I am most proud of the fact that I worked on pages that I wasn’t even assigned to read and because of this I gained a better feel for what digital writing is. I could have easily just done what I read but that still would leave holes in understanding truly what digital writing is. In terms of my contributions to the wiki I am most proud of the distributed cognition and digital and new media page in that the information I posted makes up the majority the page and my work for the most part stayed the same.While tweaks were made the core is the same and this means that my classmates my peers agreed with the information I submitted. Looking back I wish I could probably further expand on McLuhan. It was one I had to read a couple of times and gain insight from classmates to really get a handle on. So in further expanding on it I feel I could maybe allow the next person who reads him to grasp it the first or second time reading it. McLuhan was again something I was stuck on and I like I said listening to my group members I gained a better understanding of his message. Prior to this class, this semester really I always felt some type of way with regards to others editing my work. Through this project and other courses I’ve learned not to take it personally that my work may have been changed as it is most often times for the best.Other sets of eyes may find other ways to make my message clearer to other readers as my perspective on one set thing is not the same as other people sometimes.
I think four of the course outcomes I worked towards were play, multitasking, collective intelligence and judgement.
As a Class we defined digital writing using collective intelligence
Collective intelligence obviously I didn’t construct this wiki myself and I pooled knowledge with my classmates in order to define digital writing. With judgement it was really trusting the sources I used for my information, either the readings assigned or trusted sites that also helped define an aspect of digital writing. Multitasking I worked on more than one page at the same time and with play this wiki as a whole was something new to me and I had to play with it in order to figure out what I could and couldn’t do.
