Before attending this hypermedia class, I didn't know anything about the Voice Thread.
Briefly explaining Voice Thread is online social community page that allow us to up load some slides. We can upload pictures, voice, and even power point slides. By up loading these slides people will comment on our slides and we can communicate with lots of people.
In my class we had project on the Voice Thread; my topic was about religion and Japan. For this project I used PowerPoint to make the slides, most people were up loading the image and adding their own comment; however, in first place I put all of my comment in the slides and ask the question how my classmates think about religion and attitude of Japanese people toward religion.
Through my Voice Thread I receive lots of interesting and serious comments, I think lots of people were taking the problem of religion seriously and there were some people who wrote their feelings. I think this topic was very controversial topic and I can understand peoples comment. Hence, the level of discussion was very serious and high.
I think Voice Thread could be one of new way to communicate with people and also it will be new style for education. The reasons are, through this project I actually learn some new thing by not be boarding, and normally I have difficult time with communicating with other classmates, but by Voice Thread I was able to see other class mates different side and what there are interested in. As a result I enjoyed this project and I had fun by looking at other peoples comment and interest.

Definition of Religion
In my university we are in middle of midterm week. I am having hard time to catch up in the class...
However in my fundamental to the religion class, I learn interesting way to describe “Religion” to other people. Professor thought us the example of the elephant; depending the place we touch the elephant, there will be different answer. For instance, if we touch the elephant's leg it is hard and stiff like a tree, but if we touch the nose it is soft and long. Hence, in the class we reach to the answer there aren’t any perfect definition of the religion.
At the same time we learned about the two different definition of the religion. That are substantive which comes from some form of substance (God, the sacred), and functional which is providing harmony of community or provide happiness to people. These two differences are completely in different side. One is made from people and one is not.
