Pecha-kucha reaction

In my pecha-kucha, the most difficult thing was practicing. The slides change automatically in 20 seconds, so I had to check my reading speed and timing. Anyway, that was so interesting in both preparing presentation and listening presentation of others'. I want to use this presentation style in the future:)

Review of my winter ARW

First, I'm really happy to have survived my hardest term!!!! My winter ARW was hard, but it was also fruitful. In essay writing, it was my first time to write a long essay, so I had to think about it more than usual. In addition, Pecha-kucha presentation style was so interesting! I practiced more than 30 times to speak smoothly and make it more persuasive. When I was making slides, it was also fun to find the images that match my argument. From next year, I have a few opportunity to read and speak English in class. Then I want to talk my native friends in English, and write a kind of blog to write my opinion if I have time. I'll make use of being this special ICU and brush up my English skills :)

TED reaction

This TED is about sleeping. The presenter says sleeping is important to keep motivation and creating ideas.

Although there is no statistical data to show the importance of sleeping, this presentation gives me an opportunity to think my life -style. It is said that sleeping help memorizing. When I was in high school on senior grade, I had to study a lot to enter good university, but I always slept in around 11 O'clock. However, I've heard many of my friends talked that I studied until 2 or 3 o'clock yesterday, and they complained about not memorizing well. Now, I realized my sufficient sleeping helped my memorizing skills. I have a lot of things have to do recently, and I spare my sleeping time. I'll look over it again and take a enough sleep if I have a large amount of work :)

CM 8th class

In the last class, I've learned the useful add-on, Similar sites. This tools find the similar sites automatically, and I can check it in the left side, and there is no limitation in the number of sites appeared. Also, I can hidden the pages that I don't want to see, and share similar sites with my friend! When doing group work, I will easily find a lot of good sources, and do well on group work to share similar sites:)

CM 7th class

In this class, I got interested in Project Gutenberg, which is e-books site. All of the texts are full content, and I can see the even the picture book. In addition, all of the text are categorized, so I can check the specific area easily. This seems useful when I engaging in finding sources for essay. Of course I can watch it in my computer, and maybe can watch it in the smart phone. To do so, I could always read the text from everywhere, and it must save the time for reading huge text.

CM 6th class

In this class, Ithought Speed dial is useful. I often feel difficulties when I find the bookmark I really check out. It enables me to see bookmarks with images in the one page. When I search sources about essay, my bookmarks become messy because all of sources are very similar. Then this tool makes me convenient to find the precise bookmark:)
