I have created my wikispace using my compass odyssey log in information! The benefits of using the worldregions wikispace for home and in school assignments are that you can discuss the assignments with your classmates. Another benefit of using the worldregons wikispace is that you can ask the teacher any questions about the assignments. A challenge I might face is that I might not be able to have access to a computer and people might leave rude responses. ==== ==== I like the colors you picked! ~Caitriona~

It is very difficult to read your reflection. Please choose a different font. Ms Flood

I love what you wrote! It was wonderful! =]
 * ~Ashtin~*

I liked it! "Chris" ==== ==== Hey:) U r so rite wen u say that people can rite rude responses, but i no that they wont! "Erica"

​

Love, gabby//**
 * //I like the colors u used and I totally agree with u :)

=5 /12/10 I understand that I am not aloud to put anything inappropiate when I comment on someone elses reflection. Why? Because the teacher (Ms.Flood) will be watching us! Also, because the district has the right to look at the things I write. So now I know that I shouldn't curse or do bad things on here. (I never do it anyway!) = = = = = I love your reflection, its very entertaining. Matty C.

The quote for today means that I am not able to learn by listening,only by doing. It relates to our class and assignments because we are always interacting with eachother. In class we have centers and we talk and read about a certain topic. On our assignments, wich is wikispace, we always discuss on eachothers work in a possitive way. I think I am just like the person who made the chinese proverb, because I always have difficulty when somebody is telling me how to do something. But when I do something on my own, while the person is telling me what to do, I do a good job!

1)The pros and cons of using this site are that we get to interact in a different way then normal, we get to learn in a fun way,and we get to learn in a comfortable environment.Sometimes your computer is slow,and other people in your family have to use the computer. 2) The thing that was beneficial was that we got to express ourselves in a new way that more people might enjoy. 3)The aspects I enjoyed were that we got to leave comments on peoples page,and we got to try new things! 4)The places where improvements could be made are that we could to do more research. 5)It really depends on the class we use wikispaces in. 6) Using wikispaces helped me grow academically because before wikispaces I wasn't to good with computer technology,and I didn't like social studies as much. 7) Yes, I do feel that wikispaces helped to build relationships with my peers. I feel this because a lot of the kids in the class that are sort of shy (like me) really get to communicate with the other kids in our class. 8) Yes, I do feel that wikispaces helped to boost my self-esteem. I feel this because when peole leave nice comments like "**Nice Job**" or "**Great work**" you feel really special!!! 9) As your student, I think that you can grow as an educator by changing the centers a little. What I mean by this is instead of always having to read a book at each center we could play games. 10) I think you don't need to make any improvements to the wikispace. (but that's just me)
