10/8 Reflection

Today, teams 2 and 4 presented. 
Team 4 presented a few problems with the classrooms in our school. They pointed out things such as the fact that it is difficult to see the whiteboard and the desks are hard to access. I thought that their slides were very good and high quality. They used actual pictures from the classrooms that help us imagine the problems more making the presentation more persuasive. They used an outline slide and our group thought that we should make one. After the class ended, I searched for good pictures with cc search and made the slide. The next team had a little accident, one team member forgot what they were going to say. Mr. Paterson emphasized that when we forget our lines we should relax and move on. When we remember something we can say, “Let’s go back,” or, “One more thing!” to say what we were supposed to say. I think to do this we need a lot of skill and experience. When we forget our lines, I tend to panic and stop talking, but Mr. Paterson taught us to just relax and we shouldn’t take time to try to remember them because it’s almost impossible. 

Our group is the last group to present. I think that we are ready because we’ve seen many presentations that led us to improve ours. I’m a bit excited to do it.

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...
