5/13 Class Reflection

Today we set up our Feedly account. Mr. Paterson taught us how to customize our account by adding blogs made by our classmates. He also talked to us about the structure of paragraphs and how our blogs should look like. First, in paragraphs, we need a topic sentence and a cling. Then we need 3 different sections, and each section must have 2-3 sentences, meaning a paragraph should be about 8-11 sentences in total. Our blog should have, what we did in class, our reactions, and a concluding part.
Setting up Feedly was as easy as making a blog. However, it was a little boring to just copy and paste and add our friends' blogs over and over again. I wish there was a more efficient way to add blogs. It was interesting to read other classmates' blog entries because some people have thoughts that I never even thought of. I would read them to compare with my blog and try to deepen my own writing as well. I am excited to read comments that I get from those kinds of people too. I decided to add the NBA website since I like watching basketball. I want to use Feedly effectively.
I liked the word, "writing for we, not for me". In many classes of mine, I only write boring things to just fill the space that the teacher gave us. However, in this blog, I want to write something that everyone would want to read. I want to learn how to write for everyone through this blog.

9/30 Reflection

Today Mr. Paterson introduces us to a tool that shows us if our choices of color are color-blind friendly. I never thought of the color choices that deeply. I knew that some combinations of colors are hard to see but just for normal people. When we checked our site, there wasn’t that much to fix but I learned that there are choices that normal people can’t notice.  Today the class was supposed to start the presentations but we were given more time. I hope that we can do a better presentation than the last one.

    Today, Mr. Paterson told us about an article about paper textbooks and digital textbooks that sparked debate.       When he showed us the news article, I recognized the professor immediately and I was surprised to hear this from him. I've read a few of his books about the Japanese language (since he studies Japanese) and seen him on TV multiple times, and I liked him. I'm all in with digitalizing textbooks since it's much more efficient and most of all it's so much lighter.       Mr. Paterson told us about vertical and horizontal reading. With digital textbooks, students can do horizontal reading. When I read books I note down the words I didn't understand and search them up later. But when I forget which page I got it from, I can't consider the context clues making it harder to understand the word. I like paper books but I find this really inconvenient.            I couldn't really get why he disli...

    Today in class, we were introduced to the world-systems theory. This theory was developed by Immanuel Wallerstein. Mr. Paterson showed us a graph with Kondratiev waves, when the graph goes up the monopoly of the technology and when it goes down the monopoly ends. This suggests that the world is divided into 3 countries, ①core countries, ②semi-periphery countries, and ③periphery countries. It argues that technology gets passed down through generations; rich countries get to use the new high-tech stuff first and when they are done with it, the poorer countries get to use it, when it's not high-tech anymore. The richer countries don't like it when other countries infringe on their monopoly and they try to come into the "core countries". They don't like sharing so it's very rare for semi-periphery countries to bump up to the core countries. One example was when the US was developing rapidly and becoming a bigger country, Britain, France, and Spain fought in th...
