Practicum - John #7

Overall, this was a pretty interesting experience. I definitely learned a lot more about the subject areas the Wikia's covered, in addition to some knowledge on how to format the website.

And, to tie this in with my paper, I'll describe which 3 concepts from this class I think apply most directly to this Practicum

Social Networking - (boyd) Should be self-explanatory. Wikia's offer connections between users, in addition to the knowledge presented on the site.

Participatory Culture- Wikias are encyclopedia anyone can edit, and is therefore an accumulation of a society's knowledge on a subject.
