Blog of the week

We tried to teach students how to use data bases effectively last Monday but I am not sure that we did it right. We asked students to find the information on Japanese native animals and food using the databases. Students were not allowed to use Google search. It was hard to find the information on those subjects. I also use "google search" a lot and I am not used to use other sauces. Yes, I use books and the reference sauces but I myself have to learn how to find the correct information using computer.
As for the computer and the projector, I am using them a lot by doing power point presentation. I use them when I introduce new words and new sentences. It is fun to make interesting slides. The pictures I took in Japan became very useful.

Computer Class

I took a class called , Computer Basics, I wanted to take power point class and i photo class but I couldn't because of Harding's conferences and other things. I would like to learn how to do power point presentation in the classroom. Although, I am doing power point presentation in my class, I still don't know alot of things. I got a cart, locks and the speakers, I just need to learn more about computer.

Thing 5 Research Calculator

Thing 5

I have learned that you can use the "Research Project Calculator". You go to http:www.elm4you.org/research/ And type in the due date. You will find the five steps 1.Question 2 Gather 3 Conclude 4 Communicate 5 Evaluate with the due date for each step. This may be hellpful for doing IB research paper. I am going to read about this and study more. It is a tool which creates a timeline for the research paper.

日本語でブログをできたらいいですね。ほんと。まみこ

Thing 1

What are you talking about? Understanding information. I have learned how to create your own blogs.

Thing 3

I tried to write my blog in Japanese and I was successful. I am still not good at using the computer. ( I call myself "cave woman") Today I took my students to the library and Marcia did some lesson on how to do research. My first step to work with the librarian(or media specialist?). I am also taking the "basic computer skill class", next week. I am LEARNING. Last night, I tried to make power point presentation using some pictures. I made 4 slides with Japanese sentenses. But I need more help on doing this. And I need some one who is VERY PATIENT who can teach me how to do so.
