S3post-Diigo-Rei
I think that Diigo is a boolmarking device which has new and open dimensions and Diigo is a website which enables people to bookmark and bookmark websites. By this tool, people can also make highlights in some parts of a web page and students and also teachers can use this tool effectively for the cademic purposes. This helps group works in the universities because this enables people to share the materials which they create and annotate. So, they can share the academic works at the same time.

S3post-Gradefix-Yukie
Gradefix is an effective tool to study effectively in university. The students often forget the schedule of the assignment or tasks and they face the wall of the difficulty to manage studying time. So, some students think that it is wasting time to manage and contemplate the schedule. But, this software automatically calculates how the users should deal with all the homeworks based on each student case and there are no mistakes to advance and perform the assignment and homeworks. In addition, the more important point is the reminder through the e-mail to remind the schedule and due date of the home work and assignment.

S3post-Schooltube-Akiko
I think that school tube is academic software better than Youtube. It enables teachers and students to share their videos. In this site, they can get the documentations. They know what other people's thoughts and interests. School Tube's videos are mainly categorized in two way. One way is for teachers or for students. The one good point of School Tube is the way to categorize the video. Schooltube has a category only for teachers and students. This can be an educational point of this site.

Flickr is a web page in which people share their photos. People can get the photos which suit their interest by some tools of Flickr. Also, they can publish their photos and get some comments and advices. Furthermore, it is able to make communication and relationships between the people which have the same interests and to join the groups which are established on the same concern, interest, and curiosity.

Second, this application is matching on students leaning level. The information in this application are photos and images that describe situations of the world and the information through the eyes. In addition, there are many groups in Flickr. So, students can find the appropriate groups which have the information they want. Third, this site is safe, even if people use this without parents and the approve. The photos and images in this site are categorized by groups or communities of friends. So, you see the photos and images which suit you, because your groups and communities of your friends consists of your choice. You don't touch the dangerous and unsuitable information in this site. Fourth, this site can help people understand information faster and deepen their understandings. First, the searching for a group supports people to understand information faster.

Lesson 6: Google Document
Think
In group work, I suggest that it is necessary to exchange E-mail address because communication is very important.
In order to show other members what I have done, I send e-mail which includes the information and document about my work to the members.
If I need to work with the members at the same time, I manage meeting to work together.
Explain
This Google document is so nice skills especially for group work.
By using this, collaboration will go successfully.
It is because we can publish each work to all members and can revise each other.
So, what I should do is to show the usefulness of this skill and share this with group members.

Readings: Kahn & Kellner
Write a brief summary of the main ideas and issues raised in the text. (150-180 words)
In this reading, Kahn and Kellner state that online communities have used and developed internet technology to produce new social relations and forms of democratic political possibility, showing the three dimensions of online communities, political activist organizations, terrorists, and publics.
First, political activist organizations, including both right and left, have used internet to their political goals. By internet and online communities, they have gathered information to acieve their goals. The movements have made the style of the participation to political world diverse and increased, controlling the participation by online communities. For example, it can be written that there are the battles between pro-globalism groups and anti-globalism group in internet. In addition, it can be said that a good aspect is open and radical opinions from many and diverse people.
Second, terrorists have also utilized internet for their political desires and hackers have also used it for their personal or public goals. The terrorists have use websites to distribute their ideas. For example, Al Qaeda sent the secret messages related to their activity to the users. In addition, the hackers have utilized internet. For instance, Wi-Fi networks are sometimes hacked by such hackers who target the free network.
Third, there are the relationships between public and personal online communities. The examples are blog and Wikipedia. Blogs and Wikipedia have become the popular communicative methods.
In conclusion, online communities have used and developed internet technology to produce new social relations and forms of democratic political possibility, but the possibility is sometimes positive, but sometimes negative, or neutral.
What is your reaction? Respond to one particular idea that really resonates with you. (30 words) SCICU e-Portfolio.
The developments of online communities and internet will produce a deep gap between the people who can use internet and the people who cannot use internet. It is because online communities have so strong power and passion that they will be more important and crucial in making decisions of political activity such as vote and support to an own favorite party. On the other hand, people who cannot use internet cannot have the possibility and the choice of such political activities.
