Blog Topic 14: What did I learn in this course?

I've learned several things in this course. First and most obviously, I learned how to use Wikipedia searching, editing information and navigating Wikipedia. I still remember how afraid I was to click edit button because I was thrilled of the idea that what I wrote would be shown to anyone. If I remember correctly, I wasn't able to edit information till the end. Now, I know how to edit and I can do it without trying to have that much braveness. It is a fun, easy, and meaningful work for me which gave me the second thing I feel I learned. I learned how to communicate with people in Wikipedia and how to trust them. That helped me to think editing is fun and easy because there are so many people out there helping me to improve Wikipedia who are willing to correct information if I do something wrong. Third and the last, I learned a better picture of Collective Intelligence by being involved in Wikipedia and observing it closely. Especially my experiences, developing an infobox and asking village pump to be able to solve problems and getting answers, made me think that Collective Intelligence is worthy knowing and studying about.
