Week6

(1)     We looked at each revised infographic and brochure. For infographic, I need to add one more page because infographic should have both pages back and forth. The title should be not all caps, some people typed all caps in all title. The map should be in English as well because people who read will be foreigners. I also need to add map for my brochure. In terms of my infographic, I need to add more information in numbers and graph rather than paragraphed sentences. For brochure, brochure is divided from infographic, thus the design and the contents should not be the same though the font should be the same because it might not be recognized as what the same person created. In the educational technology in Japan, I learned how Japan left behind, actually still now.

(2)     Rab taught us how Japan left behind in educational technology sector. I quite agree with his opinion. When I was in high school, I wan not allowed to bring smartphone, but only laptop which is google chrome administrated by my high school. If we watched You tube during class, students were punished like writing apology paper. Also, When I studied abroad, I was not allowed to bring personal devices as well as using social media a reason for  no Japanese environment. If students connect with Japanese friends or parents , they were punished by coming back to Japanese high school and write apologize100~300 paper. Until join your class, I though this was appropriate environment for learning English, but since I learned how Japan left behind, what my high school teachers were doing was definitely a reason for why Japan left behind technologically.

Week5

      We worked on feedback about each infographic and brochure. Infographic is basically contains 70~80% of visual context and images and 30% of sentences. However, entire students did not contain visual information in infographic. Some people are all caps and narrow space lining. About my infographic, friends told me no fixing points although I felt that  I need to add more visual information. In terms of brochure, I could not finish in time so I will work and finish by next week. My fixing point was adding more sentences. Also, when I create brochure, all elements need to be the same font, colors, style because it looks more nice and better to attract people.      My reaction for today's class was that visual marketing has various ways to attract people. Before using Canva, I was quite not sure how companies create such a great visual advertisement. By using Canva, it makes me more confidence to work on visual communication through designing. Also, ...

Week4

      We checked each bio. All of us stepped mostly perfect result though I need to improve my photo. Because my shoulder did not include all and too much blur background. However, I saw my development comparing to the first bio. As second task, we worked on creating infographic using Canva. I used it before, however I need to pay attention what I learned from this class. I could not pay attention small detail such as all caps, color blind and dyslexia people supporting. These are improvement till next week.      Rab explained us how we need to pay attention to dyslexia and color blind people. When I create presentation or designing, I did not care about color blind support. Since today, I learned how to realize the color combination which will be helpful for my future as well.

Week11

 (1) We learned why professor in specialized in presentation skills doesn't teach deepen skills for students. In order to become a professor, in Japan they need something 2 reports, book or publication. That means they are not measured by how they are good at teaching, but how they experience and have knowledge to teach students. When it comes to meeting, Rab taught us 3 roles. First is a facilitator. Facilitator is a person who leads all participants, provide them equal opportunity to speak up, also interrupt noisy people in order to have enough idea. Second is a note taker. Since technology advanced, we can share a doc and write on it by anyone. However, note taker is important role because we can make sure what we discussed and reflect for that. Third is time keeper. Time keeper is a person who manage time properly. That means he or she need to know when they should review for their discussion, the number of idea and summary of the meeting. In the perspective of presen practice,...
