**08/02/09** This semester I was asked to create a wiki from by instructor. At the beginng of the course nobody knew what a wiki was. It was the first time we heard such thing! The next day our instructor sent us an e-mail, which invited us to become a member of our eng191.coursewiki.wikispaces.com. Joining the wiki was quite easy for me. Nevertheless, when we were asked to upload our homework to certain wiki pages things it wasn' t that easy. In fact I accidentally deleted some of my colleagues' data and I found out about this the next time we had an English lesson. Despite that, I believe that a wiki is indeed very helpful to us. Using a wiki helps me compare my work with my classmates as well as to share ideas with them. I am sure that by the time I figure out how a wiki works I will be very excited for being a member of it.

Yesterday we had an extra English lesson to improve our skills as far as wikis is concerned, as well as to create our own personal e-portfolio on our own personal wiki. Creating my own wiki was quite easy and at the same time fun. The fact that l could design my own wiki according to my style was very exciting. Of course that is only the beginning; I still have to update it by adding and linking it with more personal data like my photos, the music I listen to, etc. Personally, I tend to believe that by visiting my classmates' wikis I will get the chance to get to know them better and share common interests.

__My personal feelings about being a member of the wiki:__ Well, now that I have managed to create my own personal wiki I must say that I feel really proud of my work. Although I found it quite difficult to handle it at first, after the right guidance of my tutor and help from my classmates I finally figured out how it works. I uploaded my work succesfully and visited my classmates portfolios so as to get to know them better. I believe that my wiki will definately have a positive impact in my output during my final exam.
