6/11 Reflection

 Today we were given time to work on our presentation slides. Since it was a rare sunny day today, we went outside to take a video of us getting lost on the campus. It was hard for us to take the video because we had to be careful to not have anyone in the video. This is because we have to get permission from each one of them, which would both time and effort. Mr. Paterson demonstrated the situation in which we have to get permission from people in photos and videos. We learned that we had to tell the person in the photo or video where we are going to use the photo or video. If it's a presentation, we have to tell who is going to watch it. It was also hard for us to take the video because we didn't want ourselves in the video so it was hard for us to communicate, we can only use pointing and gestures. The next thing we must do is putting out our survey.
 I thought that not having people in the video was important because it would be more work. Since we don't have a lot of time until the presentation, we have to do things quickly without any waste of energy and time. Also, I accidentally took the video vertically. Mr. Paterson said that we should take photos and videos horizontally so that it would fit nicely in the slides. If there is another sunny day and I have a chance I would like to take it again.

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...
