Week 3 - June 21 - 27 -Using the tools / World Cup
This week we will discuss our favorite tools for finding, authoring, publishing and promoting video, image, text and audio content.
Participants will be encouraged to volunteer to be "experts" in the various tools and schedule separate synchronous meetings for the other members to go into more depth about the tools and be the point people for questions.
Tools that will be covered include: Twitter, Facebook, Movable Type (blog), Instant Messenger, Flickr, IRC, Wikis, YouTube, Nico Nico Douga...
By the end of this week, you should have uploaded a blog post in which you explain your choice of tools and mediums for your projects and how you've organised your workflow. Remember that you can also use the mailing list to discuss progress and any other issues that arise.
This week, use the discussion forum to highlight links to your favourite projects, sites or other online resources.
Assignment -- World Cup Fever
This week we'll be using the tools available to us online to both gather information and the present it.
You are required to report on a World Cup match of your choice. We're not looking for a straight forward match report - rather something with some colour. Please do not use wire agencies or other news outlets as your sources. Instead find people on the ground using social networking and media sharing communities to find media and commentary.
Then use freely available tools to present your story.

Hi everyone. I am back in
Hi everyone.
I am back in Tokyo and look forward to participating from Keio for tomorrow's seminar.
Tomorrow we will be talking about the tools and services.
We will also have a special guest, Hiroko Tabuchi from the New York Times in Japan. Google her for more info. I won't insult you and give you links. (And I am on my blackberry and that would be a pain.)
I think we will start the class with some logistics. Confirming the Keio students who are actually signed up and taking inventory of the projects.
I'd like to confirm who is working on what project so be prepared to make a decision if you haven't already.
We will also let projects to make short updates or appeals for members via skype video. Let me know if you'd like to make a presentation.
Mohamed, who has written the last two assignments will be joining us live next week so let's defer the assignment discussion and let him lead those next week.
I will make a short presentation about the tools and ask Hiroko and the rest of you to join in.
After that, I'd like to shift to a interview/discussion format with Hiroko about her work and the view of our topic of someone who works in traditional media and how she uses the tools and how she sees this affecting her work.
If we have time, I'd also like to talk to Hiroko about journalism in Japan and the role of foreign media.
I am also reaching out to someone from Greenpeace Japan to see if we can have a conversation about the current trial and how the various media are covering them and get thoughts from Hiroko as well.
Should be fun. See you soon!

I have confirmed that the executive director of Greenpeace Japan will join us via video.
Here is a link to the trial from their website.
