In today’s class, we had the opportunity and time to watch Mr. Paterson’s educational videos on YouTube. By watching some of these videos, me and my group were able to figure out and learn what we should and should not do in presentations. It was easier to understand and listen to because it had many visuals and the information that was easily explained to the listener.

I learned more detailed information about what Copyright is and how you must give credits at the end of any presentation or essay because it’s illegal and a very serious problem that needs to be solved in Japan today. Many students in Japan who are even grown adults forget to see and get the most accurate information, some people even just copy and paste someone's work and don't change a single thing and turn it in for grading. I could not believe that some people, especially people who get rights in education, Japan falls behind the world with lack of knowledge on Copyright and Credits. Last semester, Mr. Paterson introduced us all to a website called CreativeCommons. It is a website that is free for anyone to use and has many useful photos that we can include in our slides. Copyright is a right given and intended to protect the creator's work to reproduce and share the work more widely in range with more people. You can't just take someone else's words, ideas, or opinions and pretend and take them to make them your own ones. I also liked how Mr. Paterson's videos are telling us, viewers, sometimes complicated information, but with the pictures and examples, it was easier to follow along to.

From today's class, I want to continue and look through more of his educational videos, and try to put the information to use in our next presentations we will be having soon.

Summary of the 1st semester

This semester, I have learned so many new things from the things Mr. Paterson has taught us. He taught all semester long how not to be scared, but to be confident in yourself, and how we can learn to become the best presenter we can be. He also introduced many of us to new useful apps, and how we can incorporate technology into our studies for the better. First, he taught us how important and useful technology is these days.At TGUISS, we first and second graders are not allowed to use our phones inside the school campus. Mr. Paterson was the first teacher and class to let us use the technology we have access to, and this let us experience and explore new things about technology that Japanese schools had been hiding for a long time. We finally got to organize everything based off of Google, and got to see how convenient everything around us was getting. Finally, he taught us how to become more confident with yourself. This is one of the reasons why he’s so passionate about giving a pr...

PR Photos (4/21/21)

In today's class, we first were told we had 7 minutes to take an appealing photo to promote our school. When doing so, there were various tactics to make the school's photos look professional or interesting to best attract new students. Prior to doing so, we were explained some bad examples of places to take pictures. First was an old building that used to actually be a pool, but the exterior made it look like an abandoned building with weeds and vines growing everywhere. Next, we were taken to look at the library. Personally, I think the inside of our library would be suitable for taking pictures, but then I could not say the same for the outside. The library has big windows, but with all of the blinds closed, you would not be able to tell that the inside is a library through a photo. I decided to take a picture at a high angle of the west building, including the blue sky so it would look more appealing. Others were taking photos of the school entrance or trying to include asp...

The Mark Of Athena (Chap. 5-8)

Chapter 5 (Leo) The ship was badly damaged. Leo wished he could create a time machine to go back two hours and undo what had happened. What he had done. When explaining what had happened to Annabeth, he tells her that he couldn't control whatever had possessed him. It just felt like he was watching himself do things. Annabeth asked him if Octavian had tricked him, but Leo knew he clearly had done everything. As much as Octavian was a jerk, he wasn't the cause of it. He told Annabeth that he had felt a cold feeling, and with that, Annabeth almost seemed scared.  Annabeth was called down belowdecks from Percy, who was with Piper and caring for Jason. He had gotten a cut on the head which looked pretty bad, he just hoped his friend was okay. Annabeth asks Frank to watch over Leo, and Leo decides to let him meet Festus. They reached the bow of the ship, and the figurehead turned to greet them. Festus was once a full bronze electronic dragon, but due to some accidents, Leo had ...
