I didn't attend class this week because I was sick.I went to ilearn and found that we have to sign up for PBworks and then upload the expert presentation. I heard about PBworks before from classmate from last semester but I haven't had a chance to try, so this is time.First thing I like about PBworks is that it's super fast and easy to sign up which is great. After I sing in, I saw all pages that have been set up and I opened the screencast page, then I clicked upload file. I uploaded the video demonstration on how to use iShowU because Tina already uploaded the Powerpoint.Then I didn't know where my video go because it didn't appear in the screencast page and this was confusing me. I tried to find where was my video; after I found it, I clicked move because I wanted to move it to screencast page but there was no choice for that so I moved it to video folder. I will spend sometime to learn how to use it after finish this semester. I read some reviews about PBworks and this is a link

Online Class
How can we improve the online live class?
Well,overall I think we did good on our online session on April 15; all the presentors did pretty good on their presentations and we did a lot of discussion and cover several topics. As I have already mentioned in the preious post that I really like to
attend class online for the seminar classes like 830, 801 or 800 class because I don't really like to talk in class due to my bad English.Actually, even the classes in Thailand, I didn't talk much also. Lots of good thing about online class: when we took a 15
minutes break I started cooking and was continue with it while I was listening to the presentation.That 's cool! I put my laptop on the counter top and was able to chat while I was waiting for bringing the soup the boil. I replaced the traveling time by doing my regular stuff and other classes' works. However, there were several issues about the synchronous class room and I think mostly are the technical problems like audio, video, how to use some functions and features.And one thing that bothered me was when a lot of people were chating in the same time because text went so fast and sometime couldn't tell who talked to whom. I think these problem can be fixed by we have to learn about the program and all equipment needed before we start using it but I think our class was someting like on the job training as well because we were learning by doing. I cannot answer the question on how can we improve the online live class by now because I am still thinking about it. I hope we will have a better technology for distant learning in the near future but cost must be another issue.

Class Reflection
I think I should try twitter. After listened to the guest speaker from Socilatext, I feel much more positive about twitter and I want to use it as a marketing tool for my business.Even though personally I don't like this kind of thing,it sounds like a free good tool for promoting. I thought about its ability as a marketing tool as others social networking products before but my negative thought about it stopped me from trying. I found his presentation is interesting since I am interested in marketing and communication tools(education is also another type of communication).
I like the word "A Transparent World" and I agree that the web 2.0 technologies are one of the main force that drove us to this trend.We express ourselves more and wider.Recently, I discussed about political issue with my friends on facebook .One of my friend who I have known her for about 14 years but we have never talked about politic before and even had no idea about each other's attitude about politic.But now we all express ourselves and send our message to even more receivers.
As he said we can use twitter or other social networking tools for:
- status update
- ask
- share
- discover
- monitor
- And also promoting
And have to thank for the good question on why some organization felt when they tried to implement these kind of technologies.He said one of the main reason is they don't know how to use it for.I think this is very important because sometime we want to keep up date with technology or want to be in trend; we want to use because other people use but don't know excatly why we have to use, or how this technologies will benefit us.Then we can end up waste of time and resources.
