My Reflection
This workshop has reminded me that learning is hard work.
Reflecting on what is a wiki. It is like a lego game where different new structures can be constructed from individual parts. However the game is free as all participants bring different components of the game and share with the others. The end result is enjoyed by all. The end product is always in a state of dynamic construction, deconstruction and reconstruction with new inputs from new participants.
