S3 Post#3 Review of Yuko's CircaVie

This tool enables us to share not only photos, but also the time line of those. I think it is very interesting and it has many possibilities. For example, we can upload to CircaVie the photos of Tokyo Bay including old pictures, and can clearly show the process of rapid landfill.

S3Post #2 Review of Yukie's Gradefix

Gradefix enables us to manage many courses we take. Every term I feel hard to settle schedule for each task which offered by many courses. Thanks to this tool, we can divide our free time into each tasks to its due date. I am highly interested in this tool and I would like to use it.

S3post #1 Review of Shintaro's MindMeister



MindMeister is very useful tool of online mind mapping. I have been waited for tools like this for two reason. First, I have used offline mind mapping soft (free) named "FreeMind" for a year, but thesedays I feel frastrated because I can use it on my PC only. It's hard to bring PC or attach file to e-mail, and maps require PC memory much. Second, I think mind mapping is the most efficient way to exchange and share ideas with others. So online brain storming can be facilitated by this tool.
