THINK 1.I knew the websites such as Facebook, Gmail, Wikipedia, and You tube. I think social software is software that makes a random group of peopleinterested in a certain topic able to search, share, or just take ininformation. What makes a software social is how the software allows ideas to be sharedwith a group of people, any group of people, by acting as a bridge to connect people. 2. Network seems to be the connection between people. Therefore, social network would be more social if it could connect people with more people, a more diverse group of people.
EXPLORE 1. I can not come up with a recent situation... 2. network of people, real world, hidden connections, social networking site, visualization
3. Three things that surprised me
a)”it is predicted in10 years the number one English speaking country will be china. “
Because China is still developing now, with many people in rural areas unable to get any kind of education, and because they have their own language, Chinese.
b) “there are as many as 5 times the words as there were in the English language than the time of Shakespeare.”
Because I knew that there are words no longer used in the English language from Shakespeare time, and this means that there are much much more words created than lost.
c) “the original version of this presentation was created by a high school staff.”
Because it is impressive how the school staff worked so hard, with the future of their students in their minds.
DO
Because social software is created by the social network, connecting uncountable numbers of people, I think there is huge potential in the social society today. In order to use this sufficiently, I need to be able to tell what information is useful, and what is not. I need to be able to critically think to use social software for learning.
Dear Nagisa, Please double-check this post in your blog editor. On the computer I am using to view it, I can only see the first part of each line. Thanks, Owen.
Hi Nagisa, There is a lot I really like about your answer. "...as a bridge to connect people." This is very insightful and captures an essence of socialness beautifully. "I need to be able to tell what information is useful, and what is not." Bill Gates himself has identified this as one of the important new skills Microsoft looks for in potential employees. Great minds! "I need to be able to critically think to use social software for learning." This connects very much to your previous point and of course to Liberal Arts education in general. Your answer is complete. Try to spend a little more time to craft the language more. Grade: B.
