     Today was our first day back from winter break. Since we weren't the first group to get feedback, we had time to improve on our website in the waiting time. We revised our small mistakes like lining up the text. But, we still got many comments that we need to consider. There were three major changes I had to make after the feedback.

    Firstly, the logo. We had a team name but we didn't make a logo, and that needed to be made. So I made it on Canva. It was my first time making a logo on Canva, so I found it a little bit difficult, but at the same time, I enjoyed arranging the pictures and finding matching colors. My other teammates said they were making logos too, so we're going to decide which suits later. 

    Secondly, the video. Apparently, the book trailer that I made didn't look like it was made by me. This was because it didn't have any description and that viewers had to scroll down to get to see the video itself. So I changed the name and made the icon of the video larger so that it will catch people's eye, and I put it up on top. 

    Thirdly, the about us page. On our website, we individually had an "about me page". However, Mr. Paterson told us that we should make an "about us page" on the main page of our website. 

    I didn't notice these major mistakes and I'm really glad that we got feedback early so that we can work on it right away.

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...
