Think
1. Before you began this course, what did you do (or still do)when you needed to collect, manage, and keep a record of citation details of your Web research? How effective do you think these information management strategies were?
I made a document of the record with Word. On the point that I can just attach it to my essay, the way is somehow effective. However, I had to print the website out in order to annotate the sources. So I don't say the strategy I took was very effective.
2. In your view, what kinds of things would you want a Web research tool to be able to do?
I want the tool to have functions to keep sources in clear and well-organized way, and add notes or annotate on the snapshot. Also if it is possible, to have the function to let users output the WC of sources let the tool to be more and more useful.
Explore
It is easy to learn a new way to collect, manage, and cite your research sources. The video that follows explains more about Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Watch it a few times, stop and start it at critical points, take some notes. Try to identify a few things about using Zotero that could make studying easier for you. In the Zotero Quick Start Guide, under 'Introductory Screencasts', please watch 1) ztour, & 2) zdemo.
The video says Zotero let us take notes on sources, group sources with tags, export MLA WC of sources and annotate sources. I think the third one must be very useful for learners. MLA style is one of the major style used in study scene.
Do
3. During practice make brief notes that you can use to help you teach your partner what to do and how to do it.
Taking snapshot of the website is different from taking the whole information of the page(whole information includes WC of the website or even the WC of the book indicated). So taking snapshot is not enough. In order to annotate, we can use the marks on the left-top of the browser.
Explain
Write a post reflecting on Zotero with reference to the four SCICU Key Questions. 1. What are the main skills needed to use Zotero?
Zotero has many helpful functions. Though it has many functions, the skills which actually needed are just drag and click. So the main skill to use Zotero effectively is to know what we can do with Zotero and how we can do it.
2. What are the affordances of Zotero (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
With Zotero, we can organize and use web sources very effectively. It has functions to categorize sources(such as TAGS), to annotate sources(in both direct and indirect way) and to output the WC of the sources. These functions are very very useful for our learning so Zotero must be a very strong learning tool for us. However, lack of knowledge of what we can do and how to do it through Zotero can cause some troubles. It can be said that it is important to know practical use of Zotero.
3. How can Zotero be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
As I mentioned above, it must help us with writing paper based on sources. It let us more effective learning with functions to organize, annotate and cite sources. Former two are important for our research and the last one is one of the most important part of paper.
4. What skills and understandings have you learned about Zotero that may promote your development as an effective learner
in the digital age?
I learned and get a very useful tool for my study. About sources, I must use Zotero. It has very helpful functions. I won't be bothered by annoying citation.

Lesson 6:Google Docs & Spreadsheets
Think
Explain
Write a post reflecting on GDS with reference to the four SCICU Key Questions.
1. What are the main skills needed to use GDS?
The main skill needed to use GDS is, I think, just a skill to make an account. Also to think how to use it is important because it can be used in many way.
2. What are the affordances of GDS (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
GDS lets our collaborate work go well. It is because of the functions GDS has. These enable us work with our own PC, at home. Also GDS release us from troublesome meeting to talk when the group members can meet. It is the waste of time. Many paper copies is one of the cause of trouble in group work. With GDS, we won't be bothered by paper copies.
3. How can GDS be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
It can be a strong tool of collaborate work in terms of sharing. We can just send invitation by e-mail to share information. We don't have to see each other in order to write a group essay. Also we can make documents on GDS and publish them to our own blogs(or e-portfolios) through GDS. It is very useful that e-portfolio, which is to store information and past works, is connected directly to GDS, with which we can make documents.
4. What skills and understandings have you learned about GDS that may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
Before you began this course, what did you do (or still do) when you need to collaborate with other students on a project outside of class? In other words, what do you usually do if you want to show someone what you have done? What do you do if you need to work on it at the same time? How do you feel about doing collaborative work? Please write a brief description.
I like collaborative work in terms of getting new ideas and advices. Though the work can be good for our study, it is pretty stressful. I did this kind of work by meeting my partner offline before starting this lesson. On that point, we have to manage our time to meet and have to make drafts separate then later we make them together. It actually bothered me much. Only once, I made a discussion which was a kind of outside class work by using chat system belongs to Google groups. That was better than doing the work separately but it was also troublesome. Because we couldn't see the draft. It took time to just point out which part of the document I want to talk about.
Explore
It is easy to learn a new way to create, share, publish, collaborate, and access you work anywhere. The video that follows explains more about Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Watch it a few times, stop and start it at critical points (the narration is fast!), take some notes. Try to identify two or three things about using GDS that could make studying easier for you. Please watch this video.
It says that GDS enables all group members(I mean editors) work on newest version of the document. Also we can share presentation and spreadsheet. These features of GDS are very helpful with our group essay assignments or group presentations in terms of not being confused by old version document. One more good aspect is that we can choose the member to share. We don't have to upload and share all document with people all over the world in order to share with the particular members. The owners of the document can even choose the members only to view their work not for editing. It may be helpful for our study. I like collaborative work in terms of getting new ideas and advices.

Lesson 4: Social Bookmarking
Think
Before you began this course, what arrangements did you make (or still do) to save your favourite web pages? What provisions do you make to be able to access them whenever and wherever you need them?
Actually, I did nothing to save them. When I need to access them outside, I send the URL to my e-mail account such as yamata. Of course, I have to do it before going outside. So it sometimes bothered me. Or I can just search the web pages again.
Do
1. How to use Delicious. Take some time to view a couple of these presentations on Delicious 1 2 3 4 (easiest first, more detailed last). Please focus on identifying what you already know, as well as two or three things that you did not know, which may make studying easier for you. You should take some notes.
I know nothing about Delicious before starting this lesson. It is because I didn't think bookmarks are important and very useful. As I mentioned above, I can search with search engines again and again as long as I remember the term to search them.
Explain
1. What are the main skills needed to use Delicious?
We don't need any special skills. What we have to do is to make an account, choose web pages and organize them. The last one is somehow important to have a comfortable learning environment. We can do it with tags.
2. What are the affordances of social bookmarking (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
We can access our favorite web pages whenever and wherever we want. Also we can find new useful web pages checking others' Delicious. At the same time, we can send information of our favorite web pages through publishing them.
3. How can Delicious be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
It can be a tool to interact favorite web pages. In terms of research, web pages which has big amount of visitors may make a main stream in that field. To check these sites is very important. Also these pages with many supporters tend to be useful and well-organized. In order to learn efficiently, it is good to use them.
4. What skills and understandings have you learned about social bookmarking that may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
Through social bookmarking systems, we can see how popular the web page is. It means that the web page is supported by many people. Therefore the page must have something attractive. The social bookmarking can be a guide for us to have an efficient research.

Lesson5:RSS-Rich Site Summary
Think
1. Which sites do you visit regularly? Make a list (4~5 is fine). Before you began this course, what did you do (or still do) to keep yourself up to date on new content posted to your favourite sites?
http://w3.icu.ac.jp/ (W3)
http://ojames.blogspot.com/ (Social Computing)
http://euthanasia.procon.org/ (Euthanasia) RSS
http://jp.youtube.com/(YouTube) RSS
In order to keep myself up to date on new content, I just visit these homepages everyday(or sometimes).
Explore
1. Websites that display a button similar to the ones here on the right have an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. Visit a few of the sites that you listed above (Think step). Look over each site carefully, can you find an RSS button? You might need to scroll down the page, and you will need to look carefully if it is a 'busy' page. Which of your favourite sites provide an RSS feed? Write RSS next to each of these sites in your list. Which ones don't? Can you think why some sites do not?
In case of W3, we need ID&password to access. I think it make W3 difficult to have RSS. Also website of Social Computing doesn't have one. Blogger has a gadget to add RSS feed, but it is a class homepage. So it may not be useful to use it. On the other hand, YouTube and discussion site about Euthanasia have RSS feeds. It is because these sites are big enough to take a benefit of them. And they don't have difficulties of having them.
2. How to collect information automatically. Please watch this video that explains more about RSS and how to set up Google Reader, so that you can collect all your updates in one location. Please watch the video a few times, stop and start it at critical points, and use it to learn more about RSS. When you feel confident go onto Do below.
Explain
1. What are the main skills needed to use Google Reader?
The main skills are skills to decide which homepage to take RSS feed, find RSS feed on the page, use Google Reader and organize information I get through it.
2. What are the affordances of RSS (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
Without visiting homepage everyday, I can get new information easily. It's equal to make me update efficiently. Though it let me catch up newest information, the amount of information can be too big to organize easily. Also it is sometimes difficult to decide which site to take the RSS feeds.
3. How can Google Reader be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
It can be a tool to make me up to date. It is important for researching. Also Google Reader stores all information from all websites. It means I can go to older information when I want to. And the stocked information should be interesting for me because I may choose the source websites according to my interests.

Lesson3:Blog as e-Portfolio
Think
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 just have an offline portfolio, which is only for Freshman ELP. Almost all of my works(done during my Freshman days) are in it. In terms of online portfolio, though I have an account of Windows Live and my space on that server, I rarely use it as a tool to show what I know. I just uploaded a part of my profile.
Explore
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)
For now, I don't need it. Through the presentation, I got how it is important for some people. For others, it is a tool to know what I know, what I can do or even who I am. For me, it's a tool to review and to reassemble. But I think I don't need to show others what I know. When an e-portfolio becomes just a tool to reassemble, it doesn't have to be an e-portfolio.
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.
Clearly one of the advantages is that it's easy to share & change. Papers does not bother me any more when I use an e-portfolio as a resume. On the other hand, it requires a particular environment in which I can use the Internet freely. It can be troubleful for people without this environment. Also what I mind most is the matter of privacy. As long as I interact with others online, the matter won't be completly solved.
Explain
1. What are the main skills needed to use your e-Portfolio?
I just have to follow the guideline to edit my e-portfolio, so I may say I don't need any special skills. If I want to develop my portfolio much more, I can use knowledge of html.
2. What are the affordances of your e-Portfolio (what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
This portfolio enables me to review easily what I learned or what I thought. Also everyone can see what I wrote, and make comments on my opinion(as long as the person has an account of blogger). I know it's good for learning, but I still have difficulty mentally to show up my frofile online.
3. How can your e-Portfolio be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
I can paste links to many useful homepages, which I know, and they must help others with their learning. Or I can even upload videos and images. If I have sometnihg interesting or useful, it will attract others. If someone give me any comments, it means I could interact thruogh the Internet.
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?
I got to know the possibility with the e-portfolio. It enables everyone to show who he/she is and what he/she can. This let people to make opportunity to make an appeal of themselves to others, even to companies. To send out myself can make new way to live. It is the possibility of e-portfolio.

Lesson2: Browser as PLE
Think
Before you began this course, what arrangements did you make (or still do) to try and ensure that you could do any work you wanted to do during the day?
Actually, nothing special. But I could find information on the Internet with much time. I just tried to make much time and did my best within the time frame.
Explore
notes: Many users like a compact browser and good-looking one(They like black background with light letters) .We can listen music by just clicking an icon without opening i tunes.There are many unique icons, themes and add-ons.
Explain
1. What are the main skills needed to use your PLE?
What I have to do to use my PLE is to click. I can use it without any special skills. However, in order to develop my browser, I need English reading skill because many add-ons are still offered only in English. All explanation of them are written in English, so I used English reading skill. After developing, I just use skill to click!
2.What are the affordances of my PLE(what does it make possible, what does it impede)?
By Research Word, I can easily find definitions of any term on the page. The definitions are from Wikipedia, Google or online dictionaries. Also I can search the word in You tube, Amazon or Google Image(and News). With Cooliris Previews, I can see the next page forehand without clicking the link. This also contribute to my comfortable PC time. Zotero is really useful one especially in the case of researching. It enables me of efficient online(or even offline) research.
Though I like all of these add-ons, I may say that too many add-ons bother me.There are many add-ons and many of them have nice functions. However, the number is too big to find best one for me.
3.How can your PLE be used to network professionally and connect you (& other students) to learning resources?
In my PLE, I can get definitions which made by ordinary and certain number of people. It means the definition is very close to the common recognition or perception. In the field of learning, it is important to see how ordinary people understand the word. At this point, definition search helps me. Also it helps me with finding different kind of information. Nowadays, we can get precious knowledge or experience through videos or images. PLE enables me of touching these kinds of information sources. As I mentioned above, PLE provide me with functions to work efficitntly. It is also a help for learning.
4.What learned skills and understandings may promote you development as an effective learner in the digital age?
I learned that, by developing confortable PLE, it is possible to get target information with less time and less trouble. This will help me with my learning especially in terms of getting information.

Lesson1:Introduction to Social Computing
Lesson1. Introduction to Social Network
Yukari Yamamoto
Think
1. I only know Wikipedia and YouTube. I sometimes use them as researchtools. Typical feature of these kinds of software is that, through thesoftware, everyone can be a sender of information. Also everyone can be arecipient of information. Therefore, in my opinion, an interactivity ofinformation and a multitude of users made social network social.
2. I define network as a connection which exists between linked people.The dimension which makes social network social is the people whoconstitute the group. The people are can constitute the network fromeverywhere in the world. Also everyone can be the member of the group.
ExploreI think the Internet is the quickest way to inform people, so this can be the first social media for many senders to spread out the senders' knowledge.The keyword is visible or hidden relationship, I guess.
Do
Social software is very useful for me because I can get many kinds ofinformation quickly, for free, and at home. However I feel that, since thesoftware consist of ordinary people, it must have dangerousness. I cannotaccept all information which I get through the social software. In orderto get along with social technology, or use it fully, it is good to learnsocial computing.

Also everyone can be arecipient of information. Therefore, in my opinion, an interactivity ofinformation and a multitude of users made social network social.
2. I define network as a connection which exists between linked people.The dimension which makes social network social is the people whoconstitute the group. The people are can constitute the network fromeverywhere in the world. Also everyone can be the member of the group.
ExploreI think the Internet is the quickest way to inform people, so this can be the first social media for many senders to spread out the senders' knowledge.The keyword is visible or hidden relationship, I guess.
Do
Social software is very useful for me because I can get many kinds ofinformation quickly, for free, and at home. However I feel that, since thesoftware consist of ordinary people, it must have dangerousness. I cannotaccept all information which I get through the social software. In orderto get along with social technology, or use it fully, it is good to learnsocial computing.
