Homework7

Hi everyone!

ICU Festival is over now!
It was fun! I was too busy, though. haha!

Anyway, about my presentation slides.

It was really hard to make very simple slides on which just about 3 words and a few images.
I put black title on each white slide, so I think they are really easy to see.
So, the contrast is good!

And about repetition, I put words in the same font on all slides. So, they are easy to see.

About Alignment.
Maybe I did well.
You can understand why I say so if you see my presentation.

Proximity.
I tried to make my slides easy to see, so I put images and words in the comfortable spaces.


Anyway, I focused on easiness to see when i made my presentation slides!!!

Finally, about experience of commenting peer reviewers' slides.
I think it is really convenient!! Thanks to this function,  we could make peer reviewers aware of their mistakes and the better way to make better slides with each other. We can improve our presentation more easily by this function. Probably, L will have some opportunities to give group presentation in the future. I will definitely use this function!!

Thank you for reading;)

Homework 6

Hi everyone!

It's Tuesday. This weekend, we gonna have an ICU festival!

Let's enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!

1,Anyway, about EVERNOTE.

I think it is very useful and interesting in some ways.

First, the function of screenshot. We can save images on evernote. 

Also, we can cut out only the part that we want from the screen. It is very useful when we make presentation slides and we want to insert images!

Second, the function of bookmark. 

Thanks to this function, we can save its URL and some information.

Also, we can go to its original page by only one click! Wow!

Finally, the function that we can freely write on the images we save!

I was surprised at this function!

And what is more, it looks really really useful!

when I wrote a report in economics class in the spring term, I had a trouble to place arrows on where I wanted to. If I had known this function in the spring term, I did not need to have such difficulty......haha

Anyway, these are the learning potential of EVERNOTE for me:)

2,Next, about C.R.A.P

C....contrast

     　→color contrast...strong color contrast is important for good slides.

     　　　　　　　　　　we should use light color on the back, and strong color for   　　　　　　　　　　　words。

　　　　size contrast...Main title should be big and sub title should be smaller.

R....Repetition

　　　→repeat the same font, color and size all the way though.

A....Alignment

  　　 →Where we put words can change the cognitive impression so we should               think that where is the best place to put the words.

P....Proximity

　　　→The distance between Main title and subtitle should be close, but the one             between titles and such information as name should not be squeezed.

I know about contrast by my instinct. I feel that the slide with strong color both in the back and words is hard to see. Ideas of proximity and alignment are also familiar for me. However, the idea of repetition is kind of new.

So, when I make slides for the presentation, I will try to use the technique of repetition as well as other three ones.

3, About my topic
My final presentation topic is media, and I will write about how mass media in North Korea gives one-sided information both to the world and to the citizens.
I am really interested in this topic, so I am happy to have an opportunity to search and write about one-sided information by mass media.

I am sorry:( 

This blog is very very long:(

Thank you very much for reading!!

   

Homework 5

Hi everyone!
How are you?
These few weeks are maybe one of the busiest ones for everyone:(
We have to deal with many things such as homework, but at the same time, I hope you enjoy this term :)

By the way, this is my 5th homework.

I found the article "Same-sex marriage in Spain" on wikipedia.
This is a featured article (FA).
I wrote about gender identity disorder in my essay, so I should have found FA article related to the topic. However, I could not. So, I chose "Same-sex marriage in Spain" because this is in the same category of gender. It can be said it is related to my topic in a sense:)

Here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Same-sex_marriage_in_Spain

Next, I  did in-text citation!

Newspaper Source

Officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum Et harumd dereud.

Book Source

Officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum Et harumd dereud.

 Acutually, this is my first time to be able to use zotero smoothly.
So, I am very happy now:)
I did not have any problems to do this in-text citation.

Thank you for reading!
Have a gooooood day!!
