Firefox add-ons

The second class was also the review of the fall term.
Especially, we tried zotero add-on.

I have already known that zotero is very useful tool, however, I didn't know HOW it is useful.
Zotero is not only the bookmark system,(if so, it is ordinary!) but also arrange bookmarked books' or articles' author's name, published date, publisher and other information quickly and automatically. How surprising!
Also, we can make works-cited in various format in a blink of an eye when we copy and paste the arranged info in zotero on the paper.

What we have to notice is that zotero can get not all the info about the books and articles.
In that case, people need to put info by hands.

the First CM class of winter term

We reviewed what we learned in fall term. They were wonderwheel, timeline, Google images and Videos, and etc.

The work in the class was to search things related to ELP readings with these tools.
I realized that this work is like the simulation of the research for essay writing!
I was surprised how many functions I can use now for the essay...

I couldn't completed the latter half of the handout, so I have to try may be in the next class.
