1. What did you learn from this task?

At the start of the year I didn’t know very much about the ancient civilizations Africa, I only knew what I had learnt in 5th grade. After doing this project on wiki, I have learnt so much about the Kongo Kingdom from all of the research I have done, now I know so much about Ancient Africa! This my knowledge comes what food they had available, what they did in their everyday life, where they were located, how they lived together, what clothing they wore and many more exiting things.

2. Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?

In this project I did have my easy points which were adding pictures and making the webpage look abit better. What I found extremely difficult about this project was researching and finding the information that I needed for this project. I got so annoyed because they would keep on giving me web pages that I didn’t need, so I would press the –thing and then the word and it would still show the same results. (1000000000000000000 results found in 0.1 seconds.) The Boolean operators did help me a bit. I did enjoy the project when all I had to do was add some pictures.

3. What would you change about the process you went through to complete the wiki if you were to do the assignment again?

Even though I did get my work finished on-time I think the project would’ve been easier if I had done a little bit of research on the holiday even though I didn’t have a computer. I really enjoyed doing the last touch-ups of the wiki because it wasn’t hard.

This project was pretty fun!
