Think
What do you currently do when a teacher asks you to collaborate with other students on a project? What do you now if you want to show someone else what you have done? What do you do if you need to work on it at the same time? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
I try to keep in touch with group members by e-mail. When I want to show something to them, I will ask them to get together or mail them to members. But when it comes to work on it at the same time, think we should gather to somewhere.
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
We should collect information and e-mail address. to make a chart, we should time data as we do in excel.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
It makes understandable chart easily and quickly and can share it with other student.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
We can get feedback from other student and also we can see other student's task. It is helpful and useful.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
I learned how to survey something and make chart of them. this skill may be most useful I have learned before.

Lesson5 Think Explore, Explain
Think
1. Which sites do you visit regularly? What provisions do you currently make to keep yourself up to date on new content posted to your favourite sites? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
I visit typing game site and Google map sometimes. Typing game site is free and we can record our score if we get high score. Google map is incredibly exciting that is why I visit these sites.
Explore
1. A website that displays a button similar to the ones here on the right has an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. Visit a few of the sites that you use fairly regularly (4~5 is fine). Now, 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? Which ones don't? Can you think why not? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
All 5 sites I visited can not provide feed so I will try soon if I found new sites. I wonder why not.
Explain
Write a post reflecting on RSS with reference to the four Key Questions. (SCICU e-Portfolio)
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
copy and paste to find favorite sites and make them RSS.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
We can see latest news or information quickly and share them in the blog.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
the Technology connect users with some sites without typing long complex URL address.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
The fact that not only visiting sites quickly, but also share them is make people understand how they think, why, or people can show the supporting idea of their thought.

Summary
More people use the online communities, more considerations in required in the society. Using online communities, people can collect great amount of information widely using all over the world. On the other hand, online communities could cause negative effects for face-to face communication which people used to do. Because internet can be used by anyone anywhere anytime without any limits, it has great power and efficient. Depend on people's way of using, this huge potential could be used both positively and negatively in individual small level to socialized large level.
Reaction
We have to protect the right for expression in our lives so people should not control whatever they express. However, internet has huge information we can do anything without reveal who I am. In my opinion, the most serious problem is that information or expression exist without responsibility in internet so it could be unreliable and dangerous.

Barabasi Questions pp. 25-35
1. What is the principle of six degrees of separation? What number of social links does any one person need to be connected to global society? p. 30
Six degrees of separation is way of dividing everybody on this planet into six other people. There are six billion nodes in the world but people need only six links from each.
2. How is the fabric of society today different from pre-internet society? p. 31
The net works behind society and the online universe were fundamentally different(31).
People can move quickly in the web thanks of search engine but before this, people had to click a lot of times to search something.
3. How many more links separate any pair of web pages compared to people in society? What can explain the difference? p. 34
Nineteen degrees may appear to be. But there is slight difference between six and nineteen because the internet network had much larger number of routers.
4. So far, what ranges of separation have network scientists discovered in different kinds of networks? p. 34
Scientists in different fields of science are separated by four to six coauthorship links.
5. What does research suggest about the fundamentals of networks? p.34-35
Networks require only one link per node to form a giant cluster and the number of links is small in the network.
6. What is your estimate of your personal number of connections to society? What connections are your strongest?

2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
To help official work effective and quick, to arrange materials better, to research quickly and get a lot of or exact information.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
If people who are some of professional show and share the latest technology or theory using network on computer, other people can use them for their work resources and improve them.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
We can do our task quickly and systematically to use digital tools effectivelly.

Barabasi homework
Barabasi: The First LinkMonday 9/17Read and annotate. Answer these questions in full sentences. Type. Bring a digial copy to class (i.e. email it to yourself, or save to USB drive).
1. What elements or factors were critical to Paul's success in spreading the Christian message?He used first knowledge of the social network of the first century civilized world from Rome to Jerusalem to reach and convert as many people as he could. He choose the place in which the faith could spread effectively and walked 10.000 mikes for 12 years. (4)
2. Barabasi asks the question, "Could it happen again?" (p.4), what is your answer?No, it could not. The gap of information of the people has become large and it is difficult to spread something equally today.
3. What new kinds of maps have been made of our interconnectivity (p.5)? What kinds of interconnectivity would you like to see mapped?Map of the Internet, map of companies, map of interactions, map of genes have been made.
I want to see the map of human relationship because it is sometimes ambiguous.
4. What is the 'real surprise' (p.5) that such maps have revealed? Personally, does this surprise you?Real surprise is maps are indistinguishable from real things.
When I saw sketched incest in the picture book, I was really surprised at it.
5. How does the author define the nature of most scientific research in the 20th Century? What is the problem associated with such an approach (p.6-7)?Once we understand the parts, it will be easy to grasp the whole but although we found the part of something, we run into the hard wall of complexity because nature is not a well-designed puzzle with only one way to put it back together. (6)
6. What does Barabasi predict will be the new focus of scientific research in the coming era (p.7)? What is your view?
Network will dominate the new century to a much greater degree than most people are yet ready to acknowledge.(7)
I afraid I cannot understand well around this part…
