Lesson1: Introduction to Social Network
THINK
1. I only recognize “You Tube” and “G-mail.”
Social software offers online frameworks where people can share information and interact etc.
What makes social software “social” is the presence of a crowd who receives information when sender puts outputs something online. There is a possibility of reciprocal interaction created there.
2. Networks are various connections between people/objects/etc and social networks are those that are created as a result of social activities of human being
EXPLORE
- I cannot think of any particular examples.

- big social changes that are taking place now in general, such as their career and college majors
DO
In the 3rd video, it is shown that our society is undergoing “exponential time” of changes. I am rather unaware that it is happening and am not ready for all those changes.
Living in 21st century, one does not seem to have a choice but to learn how to use social software.
Acquiring such knowledge now, in particular for learning, will enable one to utilize various tools in the future for whatever the works he/she chooses.

Nana, thank you, this is a carefully written, intelligent post. "What makes social software “social” is the presence of a crowd who receives information when sender puts outputs something online. There is a possibility of reciprocal interaction created there." This comment in particular reveals strong insight. Grade: B+
