Wikispaces Reflection

I receieved the following comments for my wiki:

Your activity is very clever; you'll always know right away who has or has not read the text

I enjoyed how simple and how this page is tailored specifically to one topic. The home page picture did cover the page links for me though. It may not on a different screen. I also enjoyed how you broke down their interactive activity and gave them an example to go by. Good Job!

The first comment did not provide any negative feedback or room for improvement, leading me to believe that my wiki is indeed perfect as I suspected initially. However, my next comment did have one negative, which is that I did not tell what was going to be in my page, which is an obvious blunder on my part when it comes to smart instructional design. I allowed the photograph and welcome banner to speak for themselves, with little thought as to what my students should expect in the contents of the wiki. I went back and fixed this error, providing a table of contents of sorts for my wiki. Now students will know what to expect when they traverse my wiki's pages. I am glad my second reviewer noted that I'd put thought into the interactive activity. I think students need ample instructions when it comes to outside work, and by providing necessary instructions they will be better prepared to face any assignment. In any event, here is my final wiki. Enjoy!
