Development

I thought when you write own blog you should keep deadline of home works. Because we got many home works from every class, and each of them were very hard to do easy. So you make plan to do them. Especially, when you write essay or mega essay please careful of deadline and words count.

Next you have to include some photos and links. This way made your blog good and easier to read. When you go out or travel somewhere take picture with your sell phone. So if you use sell phone's camera you could search topics easier.

Third step was checking teacher's blog. It was Writing studio blog. It has very important information or attention. If you forget to see this blog you could not do important home works and could not keep deadline. So you have to check before class was started every time and reflect to develop own blog.

Computer leaning


Learning with Computers
Introduction
In this grade I tried to make my own blog for the first time. I have ever looked other people’s personal blog on the web. So I was exited when I was said that study style. But it was not only funny thing; we have to learn a lot of home work. Those were home works. Let’s review them!
Before Writing III
Before I study writing III, I could not use computer very much. Because I face it only computer class and when the time I have to use it.
During Writing III&IV
Writing III
During writing III, I seek how to make my own blog. We have to do something to present. And I enjoyed lay outing of my blog and going to look my friend’s blog.
Writing IV
During writing IV, I attempted to higher level blog not only cute or funny one. We have to present home works every week. So I hardly up date of my life.
After Writing III&IV
After writing III & IV, I hope I can be a good typing person. I want to write Japanese my blog someday.
Typing
Essays
We have a lot of time to up date of essays. For the first time I write essay, I was worried about words count. Most of essays have to write about 400 to 500 words. Then I thought it is difficult more and more.
Book reviews
Book reviews are very difficult for me. I have a little opportunity to read English books when I was high school student. In addition to I have to write reviews for those books. It was very difficult but I could find very interesting English book. It was good times.
Quick posts
I up date as quick posts a lot of times. When I write typing speed trial I could up date. And I always finding topic of my quick posts.
Comments
I was glad to got comments from my classmates. So I try to look others blog and comments for them. I like change letter or e-mail. So I thought changing comments is similar to it.
Portfolios
Portfolios is summarize of our grade. This subject is very difficult and I have to a lot of to do.
Reading
Book reviews
I have a little time to read English books. But I could meet good books. I thought that all English books were difficult and not friendly. But in that kinds of English book, there were comic type or like a drawing books. I worry that these books are easy for university students. So I want to read higher level books.
Writing studio blog
When I read writing studio blog, it was very very difficult for me. Because of there are much words and long sentence. But in that blos have a lot of very important things. So I have to read more carefully.
Listening
Talk with teacher
I like writing teacher. He is funny and kindly. When I talk to teacher, I was tense. But I tried to listen carefully what he said, so I enjoyed talking with him.
Viewing
Using photos
In my blog there were a lot of pictures. I like taking picture with sell phone and I thought that the way to use photos is good for find topics. Most of my topics are material of pictures.
Adding links
I add some links to my link bar. For example when I went to go dinner with my friends I add that restaurant’s link. I learned how to link in this class. It is good item.
Others blogs
I like looking other friends’ blods. And I tried to comments every times. Some time I appeared others’ blog. By using blog we could change my life topic. This is very exciting.

Conclusion
I thought I could experience good things. I wrote former, I made my own blog for the first time. If I didn’t have like this opportunity I could not make my blog and my typing skill is not development like this. And I met funny English books. I want to continue to writing blog and I hope I will make Japanese my blog some day. This opportunity is not only Writing class but also listening, reading and typing class.

Learning with Computers

I think learning computer is the most important thing in these days. When I gave homework from school most of them are using computer. So we geve oppotunity to learning computer since I was junior high school student. In these days computer are developing very quickly with high technology. I guess the super computers more clever than human brain someday. And the oppocunity of using them increase much more. [69]
