I made new ICU Softball Club homepage by using blogger and skills I've learnt from this class. I made new account and told my teammates both usernames and password, so that everyone can update. I put link to the club bulletin board, and it had RSS, so I added 5 newest posts on the column by using Google Reader. Here is the link. Please take a look!

S3 Tool Review: Diigo
Diigo presented by Rei
Diigo is the tool which you can save your bookmarks online, and you can share them. This is almost same as Delicious, but with Diigo, you can also highlight the texts, you can put "post it" on the text, and you can do discussion online. This tool would be very helpful when you do the gruop work. Usually it is really hard to meet everyone at once, but with Diigo, you can share what you found, what you think is important, and do the work together.

S3 Tool Review: GradeFix
GradeFix presented by Yukie
GradeFix is the tool, which organizes your schedule and tells what and how long you have to do to finish the assignments or study for exams. It reminds you to study by sending e-mail. I thought this is very helpful tool because it actually manages your schedule. If you follow the schedule, you would not forget what you have to do.

S3 Tool Review: Digg
Digg presented by Lee
Digg is the site which you can share videos, pictures and texts. It is like youtube, but you can share more with this site. It is not very academic, but you can use them for academics like put what you have presented, or what you have made for your work. I can enjoy just watching at some of the posts.
