Diigo is useful when I search information on the internet because it can highlight the sentences on the screen.
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
Just install the button (toolbar) to the browser.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
People can highlight the sentences wherever they think those are important or interesting. People also can annotate to the sentences with Sticky Notes. However, as same as highlight on the paper, too much highlight and notes may cause confusing.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
I do not know much about Diigo yet, but maybe people can post their highlighted sentences to their blog.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
If I can use this, reading on the internet will be more easier because I can find important points easily when I read again.

S3 post #3 - World Mapper
World Mapper is useful to the presentation. It is also interesting just by watching the maps.
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
Maybe people do not need special skills to watch the map. They only have to know how to find the maps.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
People can find and watch that they are interested in. The maps tell about how the world is really like. However, the numbers of the people etc. would not be true, so deeply depending on this map may be dangerous.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
This is very useful when learning about the world. The maps tell the world by visually, so it is easier for people to understnad.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
I can use maps when I presentate something relevant.

The skrbl is useful to online discussion. People can meet and talk on the skrbl board.
Social Computing Key Questions:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
I think people do not need special skills to use it.
2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
People can create their own massages or drawings, and also they can rewrite other people's things. I think it would be messy if people write or draw anything as they want.

If people become to want to share their boards, it is a good way to tell URL and pass word in their blog or something like that.

If I can use this effectively, it can be a good place to discuss something.

S3 post - Teacher Tube
Teacher Tube
URL: http://www.teachertube.com/
Teacher Tube is a video site; everyone can watch the video. People do not have to sign up when watching the video. If people want to upload the videos or leave comments, they have to sign up, but only educators can sign up to the sites. If people signed up to the site, they can make groups and communicate with other people; and also they can add RSS of the people who upload the video.
Write a one paragraph review of the application, in which you have selected one set of questions from below to answer - Independent Learning.
Teacher Tube is useful for Independent Learning because if students learn how to use it, they can learn individually by searching the videos. Everybody can watch videos without sign up; just type the key words and press the SEARCH button. Some videos are difficult for students, but others may be good for student learning level. Also, I am not sure what kind of sites are "safe", but this site may be safe because there are no videos such as for adults only as far as I can see. Also, there is a system that people can alert inappropriate videos with comments, so I think it is safe. In addition, it is good for students to be explained by video pictures with voices or sounds, and I think it is easier for students to understand the materials. In addition, during watching the video, students can stop it if they want to do, and this also can help students good understandings.
