| − | 3. I learned that we could start our own motorcyle gang!

| − | ===What I still need to learn===
| |
| − | 1. I need to learn how to organize the information into manageable bits.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. I need to learn how to concept map - as I never have used this tool for personal revision.

| − | ===How I feel about what has happened today===
| |
| − | At first I felt quite daunted, but now I feel optimistic. I believe this will be worthwhile of not only my time but for those in the future who will use it. I look forward to creating something that will aid in my learning as well.

| |
| − | * The challenge of organizing the initial information in my sections enabled me to get a good grasp of what information was involved and what needed to be discussed.
| |
| − | * I've learned so much more about internet/html usage. Although I must admit, it's easiest to copy and paste someone else's formatting to get you going!
| |
| − | * I feel I have VIP access to an impressive creation. I plan on using wikivet to revise for my upcoming exams!
| |
| − | * I have met the nicest "boss" I've ever worked for! Good role model :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
| |
| − | * Making a simple change to a page heading (eg capitalizing the word system in lymphoreticular haemopoetic system) loses your links to the previous page since it is case sensitive. I think I have excess pages out there in the world wide web now.
| |
| − | * I found it extremely time consuming to use images from pdf lectures yet so much easier if the lecture is in power point format.
| |
| − | * Coming back to my section's homepage only to find it's been reworded and now the linked page headings don't match the rewritten subsections created by another student! I am reminded " If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here."
| |
| − | * Spending a great deal of time about a topic, and then realising it's already been discussed in another section by someone else! Do you then consolidate? Leave as is? Or provide a link?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
| |
| − | * Personally, I feel a section is most manageable when assigned to one person. The initial stages involve so much rearranging of categories, it changes on a daily basis of input.
| |
| − | * I would like to see the use of consistent wording, eg Clinical Signs or Clinical Symptoms. Histologically or Microscopically.
| |
| − | * Having a 'web master' to point out areas that need improvement or change on a regular basis eg managing the number of subheadings in a topic
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
| |
| − | * I know it could be never ending, but I would like to 'tweak' my sections
| |
| − | * I enjoyed making flashcards for the liver section, and I would like to go back and make some more once I have images uploaded in the liver section.
| |
| − | * I wouldn't mind being in charge of making flashcards for other sections. As a former teacher, I enjoy it!

What I hope to get out of this project
I hope to appreciate the efforts necessary for a collaborative project to be successful. It will be nice to experience being the 'who' behind that 'what' as opposed to the faceles information I encounter everyday on the internet.
My best learning experience
Learning how to play Tetris!
and why it was good
I was in awe of the skill and speed my husband displayed, and when I attmepted to play, I was frustrated at ending the game at only 7 or 8 lines!
Repeated exposure guarnatees learning, and after many sleepless nights and zombified hours, I beat my husband with 184 lines!
Pathology that interests me
I really enjoy the gross anatomy of pathology with an empahasis on forensic science.
Pathology that is difficult
Histology!
