Google Document

The tool we used for the presentation of this class was really convenient!
I was so surprised and impressed about the function that we can share the slides and edit anytime we like.
How convenient it is!
But I think Google Doc could be better. One thing I didn't like about it was that I can't change the angle of pictures. And we couldn't make pics move neither. If google adds such functions, it must become most convenient tool to make presentation slides!

iGoogle, Homework 4

I made my iGoogle and I think it is really convenient but actually I rarely use it... It's because I haven't set it as my home page.

But I like the function because I can see various information such as maps, weather, e-mail and news etc.


I searched some sources for my final essay and those below might be useful...

About the presentations - Homework 7

This is our presentation slides!

It is a bit embarrassing...

All of your presentations today were really interesting.
I was impressed by those colourful and beautiful pictures/videos!

I could learn about much I didn't know from the Dogeza presentation. Also, the video put there was sooo funny! :D

I enjoyed the presentation about songs reflecting culture, too. I could know many songs from various countries! And I thought using photos of landmarks was good by looking their slides 'cause then we can know other things in the countries than songs and it's more interesting.

The presentation about home towns was interesting because I don't know much about the other prefectures' sightseeing spots (or dating spots?) well and I could know little about them. They were good introductions and I think using video which is explaining those places was also good idea.

zotero, other add-on - Homework 5

I installed Personas for Firefox. It is the tool we can change the design of Firefox. It's fun to find nice ones.

I didn't understand how to use zotero well...
