__//Shreyas' Reflection//__ ​ //**The Early Days**// I am liking this project quite a lot. There are a few disturbances in the day, due to my job as a webmaster, but I think that our group is functioning well. We are on track to start our wiki focus questions today. We have started out small, but we intend to enlarge the questions over the course of the month.

As Victoria University was located in the CBD, we had to use the public transport network, to commute to and from the city campus. The thought of getting there made me a little anxious.

During the city experience, we had the ability to go on many excursions to many of the city's iconic landmarks. Some of the more enjoyable ones included the Skydeck on the Eureka Tower, a visit to the Old Melbourne Gaol and an excursion to the State Library. Most of them were very exciting and informative, while some wern't. After these excursions, Evan and I would have the job of uploading the photos that people would have taken. It was amusing at most times, looking at the pictures that had been taken. Sometimes, it used to be frustrating because people would take photos that were pointless and off-topic. Even though the photos that we had uploaded were not completely hopeIess in terms of organisation, I would have liked them to be more organised.

Another helpful part of this program was the fact that we were able to attend mini excursions. This was a chance for us to visit sites and events that were important to our group's wiki. We explored places like the Melbourne Tourist Information Center, The Royal Botanical Gardens, State Library and the Myer Christmas Windows. All of these were very helpful, as we were able to gather information and photos.

The CBD program is coming to an end. We only have 4 days left! We have come to the stage of inserting images to our pages and finalising the information. I have had a lot of fun over the past month and gained knowledge too. Time has flown by and it is almost time for us to say goodbye. I will miss this program very much, as I enjoyed working with all the other year 8's. The experience is very worthwhile and I would not hesitate to reccommend it to anyone. It has provided me with the skills and knowledge to go out into the city, by myself. It should come in handy when I am going to my new school next year.
 * //Almost at the end//**

//**Being a webmaster**// I enjoyed my job as a webmaster very much. I got the hang of it after about two or three days. I felt like an important team member when Mr Ebert, Evan and I set the guidelines for the wikis. It was quite frustrating when people would upload images more than ten times the limit. After talking to those people and teaching them how to resize the photos, the incidents happened less in quantity. Another annoying thing was that people would name pages to a generic name like "Bibliography", instead of following the guidelines that we had set. By the end of the program, only a few pages with incorrect names were present. Something that I would like to improve if I were to be the webmaster again would be to make sure that the sitemap is up-to-date and completed. Better communication would also be helpful.
