18 Feb ARW

Inthis class, two groups did presentations.

First group was "Shocking truth"(Sawa, Chieko, Mari)
They introduced about Mcdonalds, reality of chocolate and truth of Disney.
I am interested in Mcdonalds presentation.
After hearing this presentation, I don't want to eat it....
But this presentation was too long, I think. So I was tired to listening.
Time management is very important.

Second group was "Future technology" (Yuki, Yuuki, Asumi, Yukari)
They shwed about 3D technology or 4D technology.
Also, I was so interested in napkin PC. I haven't heard it.
According to Asumi, napkin PC need not any battery.
It's fantastic! I want to use it in the future.

16 Feb ARW

From today, Winter project has started.
In this class, two groups did presentation.

First group was "technology in the future".(Tatsuki, Tetsuro, Masaya)
They showed a lot of interesting machines, for example, machine which enhances human's power to lift something. It's like a dream! But this technology is also used for military.
Therefore, we must consider about usage of this technology.
Very interesting topic! Thank you, Tatsuki, Tetsuro and Masaya!

Second group was "Alternative Energy".(Koji, Yuya, Ryohei, Shota)
This presentation is our group!
My presentation topic is Algae fuel.
Since I had learned about it in chemical class at high school, I have a little knowledge.
Even if this technology isn't famous, this can be very useful energy for us, I think.
Through this presentation, I learned a lot of things.
Researching about topic, making good slide show, eye contact, speaking and explaining about topics, and so on...
I think that if one of them is deficient, presentation can't exist. I mean that all skill are necessary to do good presentation.

Besides, of couse, practice is the most important for presentation.
In this presentation, I can not prepare for it well. So, I wanted to do presentation again....
I should practice presentation well...

But I did not regret!
I did my best for presentation!
Thank you for listening my presentaton! BE students and Rab!

14 Feb ARW

Today, we prepared for Winter project!!!!!
Today we did not have class actually, so we prepared for Winter presentation at ILC Mac room!
I was so nervous about Winter project...
Because I am poor at speaking in front of people...
But, I must defeat it! I'll do my best.

11 Feb ARW

In this class, we practiced eye contact trainning.
I have not thought about eye contact well.
But, eye contact is very important in the presentation.
In front of audience, I can not do good eye contact because I was so nervous.
In order to defeat it, I must practice it and remember the words before presentation.

After my Winter project, I watched my presentation at Dropbox.
I think my eye contact was basically good. But sometimes, I watched screen for a long time, so I must improve tha point.

8 Feb NP

Today, we had NP lecture by Rab.
This lectre's topic was "Does Democracy truly mean power for people?"

I was surprised at video about conflict between US police and peaceful people.
I think that the authority of government is very strong and selfish.
We have to reconsider about "real democracy".
Most"democracy" around us are not real ones.
It is necessary for us to take action for real democracy, like in Egypt.

9 Feb ARW

In this class, we learned about Wager.
Wager wrote about four futures.
I think 1st and 2nd futures can be realized, but 3rd and 4th future is very very difficult.

In the text, Wager said that people will be able to live without any labors, and create ecotopian world(3rd future). Also, human beings should go to the space and colonize it(4th future).
I think that this 3rd future and 4th future make contradiction.
Inspite of we have ecotopian environment, why must we go to the space and colonize it?
As we stay in ecotopian enviroment, it is not necessary to go other place.
Therefore, this is contradiction, I think.

7 Feb ARW

We continued to make our websites and presentation by using computers.
Rab taught us how to connect video.
I am interested in using transition tools for videos.

Also,we solved the problem of Dropbox.
I could watch presentation video!

In my winter project, we started to creating each topics pages.
My topic is Algae fuel!
I haven't ever known about it before starting winter project.
However, Algae fuel is very interesting and profound theme!
