Think (SCICU)
Before you began this course, what arrangements did you make (or still do) to be able to show to others (and to yourself), what you know and what you can do?

I think I should use some photos, Images, and Figures at my SCICU and my blog. If i use these ones, it will be more freindly web-site.

1. Do you need an e-portfolio? Please watch this presentation. (This presentation describes the use of a wiki, while you will use a blog for this e-portfolio)

Actually, it's not so necessary for me. I understood e-portfolio can upload and exchange Information and knowledge. However, I do not want to tell information. It just uses time. And I do not need to information from e-portfolio. I can find from books, wikipedia, search engine, and youtube. It's enough.

2. What are the main advantages and disadvantages you see in having an e-portfolio in addition to (or in place of) a traditional resume? Please see some of the examples below.

this tool's advantage is useful. It do not need much paper and it is easy to make the link between what I can do and what the organizations want. However, this tool do not choose person. Whoever can use it. Therefore, a lot of wrong information will be uploaded. sometimes we will get wrong information.

Explain (SCICU)
Write a post reflecting on your blog as an e-Portfolio with reference to the four SCICU Key Questions.

1. What are the main skills needed to use your e-Portfolio?

i need this skill which is how to make it looks clearly. i should make it conspicuous,
some important words should be change the font.

2. What are the affordances of your e-Portfolio (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?

e-porfolio is very simple system and useful. I did not need much time to make it and it is able to update photos, links and somethings.


3. How can your e-Portfolio be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?

I should surf e-Portfolio and Blogger Blog, at google, msn, or some serch engine. These ones are popular sites, and I could find some how to use, good points, bad points, and dangerousness.

4. What skills and understandings have you learned from creating your e-Portfolio that may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?

1. Social software. Which websites in the picture (top) are familiar to you? What do you think social software is? What do you think makes social software social?

I know only Veoh, youtube, wikipedia, and G-mail. i'm also using them.

I think social software is a device for exchanging informations.

I think simplicity of using is important to make social software social. If the software is hard to use, no one will not use it.

2. Social Networks. How would you define a network? What is social about a social network?

I define social network is invisible lines which are connecting by using softwares. Furthermore, this aggregation of this line can be a community.

I think social about social network can be exchanging information. Only giving or Only getting information can not be social about social network.

Please watch this video on social software. Do you know of a recent situation in which knowledge has become available first through social media?

some people who wants to be a musicians, they update their activity at youtube, veoh, myspace, or some social software.

Please watch this video on social networks. Make notes on what you think the key words are?

keywords: communications, visible/invisible relationships

Please watch this video on social & technological change in the world today (now). What were three things that surprised you? Why?

the subjects of universities are different from 10 years ago. I'm afraid my studying in university will not be useful after 10 years after.

If my space were a country it would be 8th largest country. I know my space but i've never thought it is very big more than country.

More than 50% of U.S.21 year old created content on web. I'm surprised. It means our half body is made by web.

Draw on your current understanding of social software, social networks, and your understanding of the changes in 'Shift Happens' to write your own rationale for choosing to learn how to use social software for learning.

Social software: the tool for people relationship

social network: visible/invisible relationships

I will use youtube for learning because it has not only private video but public.
