    I have learned that there are alot of variations of items you can put on a wiki and its not as easy as it looks. What i like about a wiki and sharing information on it is that you can have fun with it. I think the hardest part about sharing information in a wiki is that you can have fun to an extent but you still have to use proper writing skills and present your information in a logical way. I might use a wiki in the future because it is a very fun way to present a topic for school.

    I have learned that wikis are not that easy to make. The thing I like about sharing knowledge is that I get to learn more when people share their knowledge with me. The challenge of sharing knowledge for me is when I share it with ohers because I have to put it in words that they can understand not just me. I may use a wiki in the near future to share knowledge with teachers and classemates because it's easy to visualize things because I could put pictures and videos on a wiki.

    I have learned many different things from other people on several different topics. Wikis are a cool and fun way to share the information you have. You can make it compatable to your topic. You have different text and backround colors. You can chose on that fits your topic or you can pick a color that you like. Wikis are easy to do. It is very quick and harldy takes any time at all. I think my biggest challenge was try ing to find different widgets. You can have games and pictures. I had a hard time finding good widgets. I think I will use wiki in the future. It was a lot of fun and easy way to share good quality information.

    I have learned several things about wiki's. From how to create them, and what the criteria is to have on them. I do like how easy it is to share stuff with other people just by going to a simple webpage. The only difficult thing about it is getting everything set up perfectly just how you want it. There is always some sort of thing that doesn't align exactly how you want it to. I will probably end of using one at some point or another for a project. But until that moment comes, I probably won't be using one.

    I have learned a lot. When we first started with our Wiki's I did not know what they were. I like how quick an easy it is. It is so much easyer than email and my mom even onderstood it when I explained it to her. I think that any one can change it is a chalange. That fact could make things a problem or better. Most defonatly I see my self using this in my future, my family already has a blog for only us.

    From my wiki page I learned that making a good wiki takes a lot of work. I think that even thought a wiki can be hard to make it is a very good way to share iformation with people around the world. The challange of sharing this knowledge is that you need to hide your identity. In the future I hope to use a wiki page to share knowledge with people everywhere.

    I have learned that it is really fun to make a wiki. Anyone can join into the conversation. A challenge that I had was trying to find widgets about my topic. I probebly will use a wiki in the future.

    I have learned quite alot doing this project. I learned that Wikis exist and what they are used for. I have learned quite alot, but not just about creating Wikis, but all of the topics everyone chose. I like the variety our class has in the topics we chose. From Christmas to surfing. Everyone has good information and made their Wiki's very interesting. The thing I like most about sharing knowledge on Wikis is being able to put widgets on it. The widgets make the Wiki a lot more interesting to look at and stay on for a while. A challenge about sharing knowledge would be Wikis are very hard to format. Sometimes things do not go where you want them to & text is sort of hard to format. I probably will use a Wiki in the future. It is a fun & interesting way to share your information.

    I learned that creating a wiki is not as hard as I thought it would be or as boring. I like how easy it is to make a wiki and share the things that you know and are interested in. The hardest thing about sharing knowledge with a wiki I think is making sure that none of it is false. If I remember to use a wiki and It is appropriate to use one I think that would use a wiki in future projects.

    I have learned that wikis are used to give information out about a topic and you can change it whenever you feel like it. I like that you can add links to your page to offer more information. The some websites do not provide enough information to help you on your topic. I would use a wiki again because you can make the project yours and arrange it however you want it to be.

    I have learned a lot doing this project. I learned how to make text colorful and make projects and subjects fun. I like that you can share information in a cool way. You can add widgets, and it's more fun to learn that way. I think that learning how to add the links and pictures was actually the hardest. I think that if I had an oppurtunity to use it again, I would.

    I learned that making a wiki can be some what easy if you know what you are doing and have the right information, and also that it is fun to create. I like to show my information because people will appreciate the new information they learned. It can be hard to show all that you want to with a some what small space so I used the things that I thought were most important to tell. I think I might use a wiki later in life because I enjoy telling information about subjects that I enjoy.

    I learned about the code and how you add widgets.
    I love that widgets are easy to navigate. Getting people to focus on the info not just the games. I don't think I'll use them.

    When creating a wiki I learned to create hyperlinks, adding colorful and eye appealing graphics as well as text. I think the most challenging part of sharing the knowledge on a wiki, is how you have to create a hyperlink. I also liked finding the cool widgets online. I believe that I will use a wiki in the future because it is a very quick way to share information about a topic.

    Through the use of Wikispace I have learned how to use widgets for a source of providing information in a fancy manner. Wiki's are much more convenient and seem to be more attractive to all audiences. I like being able to use images and videos, versus all written information in order to provide facts. I think the biggest challenge would be not being able to just insert links, but instead inputting an embeded code into a specified section. If I ever had the opportunity I would most certainly use Wiki as a way to share knowledge!

    I have learned many things by creating my wiki. The wiki has taught me how to share information with others, in a creative way. I also have learned how to format a wiki, and how to incorporate a widget and voki into my wiki. I like that the wiki enables me to share the podcast that I created with others. Hopefully other people will learn something that they don't already know about the piano. The most challenging part of creating my wiki, was knowing where to logically place the items on the wiki. I know that I will use the information that I learned about wikis in the future. I believe that with the new technology that is emerging, many more teachers will be using wikis to teach their students.

    Creating this Wiki has taught me a lot of valuble information. For example I have learned how to apply widgets and import pictures. I think it is great that everyone can see what you post on your Wiki. A challenge that you may face with sharing knowledge with a Wiki would be formating. Sometimes the pictures and text don't go right where you want them to. I think I will use Wikis in the future, whether it is for a project, or to share information with family.

    With making my own wiki space, I have learned how to add links and pictures and files. I like the fact that you can add different files and links to your page. The only thing challenging about making a wiki is the fact that all the information may not be true and others may notice that. I might use a wiki in the future for other classes or for fun. I might make one for a personal issue.

    Wikis are very easy to create. Once you make them they are also very fun to play with. You can put on games, links, and widgets explaining your topic. There are many things that I enjoy about wikis. The first reason is that you can talk to others on your wikis but still see what you have written before. Also its a great way to plan things with your friends. Some of the challenges the wikis make are some people never know how to take a text. If you write something jokingly but could sound hurtful many people could get offended. Right now I don't have any reason to use a wiki, but if the time comes, and I could use one I definitely will.

    I have learned that Wikis are a great way to learn about all sorts of topics from basketball to skyscrapers and even golf. I like how you can put your podcast on the wiki. I dislike how people can put any information on the wikis. I will definitly use wikis in the future.

    I have learned how to create a wiki and the etiquette involved with it. I liked that anyone can visit and edit it because then the knowledge is unlimited. The fact that anyone can edit is also the problem. I dislike the fact that people can put false information or delete information on your wiki. I think I will use a wiki in the future because like the name indicates they are quick and also easy.

    I have learned that wiki's are easy little pages that you can see information on a topic. I liked that any one can see you page and read what you have to say about your topic. Even though wiki's are fun, I think that it's challenging to share alot of facts about your topic. You don't want it to be boring, so you dont want alot of word's.
    I would like to use wiki's in the future to share about other topic's that I think other's would enjoy.

    I have learned that you can us the wiki for business reasons, and also use it for fun. That you can share knowledge in a little bit of words. There are many things challenging parts of a wiki. One thing is that you have to provide a lot of reliable resources. I think I will, because it is very exciting and looks good too.

    I have learned that a wiki is a great idea to share your knowledge with videos and other information. I like that a wiki is able to share knowledge, because it is more eye appealing to people who visit the page. A challenge with that is embedding widgets or videos. I think i would use a wiki to share my information in a business or with friends.

    I learned that a wiki is a fun and interactive way to share your information. A wiki gives you a chance to put on pictures and podcasts to share the information you have learned. A big challenge for me was getting everything organized and putting the correct inforamtion on my wiki that went with my topic. I don't think I will ever use a wiki again. It is not that I did not enjoy doing it, I just do not think it is reliable enough to have it the way you want it.

    I learned that a wiki can be very useful. It lets you post whatever you want. I like how you can make pretty much whatever you want. Getting videos and pictures and widgets on the wikipage is sometimes difficult. I think that I might use a wiki in the future.
