Think
What arrangements do you have to make now to be able to work on whatever you want to wherever you are? (SCICU e-Portfolio)

Explore
What main benefits/disadvantages do you see (if you see any) in the design of an e-portfolio compared to a traditional resume? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
Most beneficial design of e-Portfolio is tab system. E-Portfolio user can move web to web immediately as he or she wants. From now, any disadvantage design of e-Portfolio does not come to my mind.
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
The user needs the skills for typing, using mouse, reading and understanding literacy.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
Making diagrams, drafts, creating something or managing a lot of information.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
The connect user can gain amount of general or special information because network technology can reserve and reveal huge information as the connect user wants.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
To know both risk and benefit of going digital and to know the skills depend on various uses accurately.

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…
