6th class

This time, I did presentation of the fire-fox add-on which I chose.
it was "read it later" and very useful when one discover articles on the web but there is no time to read, Read it later allow them to read it later...HAHAHA!
because of my poor presentation skill, I'm not sure whether everyone could understand, but I really recommend this add-on.

After that, we did group evaluation of own group-created web pages. I was impressed with one web page of evaluation members. it was wiki-style and articles appearing like blogs.

5th class

today, I and other group members (Mei, Ryosuke, Yushiki) started to create our Google site. We changed our topic from AI to medical progress. the merit of Google site are that easy to make, speedy editing and this is the best(I think) can share by all of group members. however, I discovered one demerit also. that is, though the site is shared by members of groups, just one of that members can edit the site at one time. it is a problem when making the site in class or with talking to each other. when I made a group presentation in Autumn CM class, it was possible to edit by all members at one time. why is it impossible in editing sites?
Anyway we have to try hard to make progress this site.

Does anyone know the good use of "Google Calender"?
I have heard that it is useful to manage group member's time.. but I'm not sure.

4th Class

today's introduced add-ons were also uniformly great guys! search-preview by Mei sounds very good because I don't have to open and close so many sites and examine each one... it short-cuts my effort by giving impression of sites. wired-marker is very useful when I use many articles for writing essay. actually, it is big problem for me to remember which part was important! Auto-pager was also! I hated click the tiny button in Google to see next page!

after the add-ons introducing, we did group gathering to create website. the topics we chose were AI, Robots, and life expectancy. each one is closely related to our future.
I will research about them by using good sites such as KurzweilAInet and Science Daily.

3rd Class

I think that the idea of presenting about add-ons by each person is so nice! We can share and improve the fire-fox portable to be more useful! Actually, Cooliris, which was introduced by Narumi helped me so much when I searched for some pictures for my presentation in my general edu class. beautiful and cool view made me possible to continue working for a long time.

also, today I tried to create my web sites. in my memory of high school, to create web sites was boring and complicated working, like creating so many tabs . it took so much time and it was far from brilliant site. However,by using g-mail's function, it was so easy and can create cool and beautiful one without complicated operation! Just choosing template which suits my purpose! How great!
