circaVie

Yuko's S3 session

1. Review of tool
circaVie
"
circaVie, or "times of your life," is a place to celebrate your life in an exciting new way ... chronologically through an interactive timeline. Tell your life story or the story of your latest road trip, a day to remember, or a trip around the world. Any time, any picture, any video - mark it here and share it everywhere. Tell us what you think!"

This is an date sharing software.
People can make their own timeline with impressive photos and images which is on web. These days many people have their own digital camera. But where is gone the pictures which they took? I think most of it become stock of their computer and its decrease comptuter's memory so I find the good way to make the most of those pictures. circaVie can be the good record of our life. It can record our life chronologically. We can make our chronology with our memorial pictures and share each other.

c. Conclusion Small Group Discussion

Social Computing Key Questions:


1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?

Knowledge of how to save and browse pictures in computers. circaVie is very easy to use.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
People can make the most of their photos and memories, also share and enjoy to see it.

3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?

circaVie connect to Google Reader so if people set it to Google Reader people can know the newest date any time.
In an academic place, if people keep taking pictures of one particular spot (ex. rain forest in amazon), that record will help us to know the changes of the environment. circaVie might help us especially environmental field.


4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
It will be my hobby. I like to taking pictures. I can share my favorite picture with complete stranger all over the world.
