DHU Social Media Fall 2025

        Wow October! How time flies! Like Bone, Thugs, N' Harmony used to say "it's the first of the month!!" Today, please share a video in English on YouTube. It can NOT be a song. We will talk about music next Monday! But it can be about cooking, shopping, sports, or any other topic and must be in all English.  Japanese voice - NOT OK! Videos without ANY speaking - NOT OK! Videos that are clips from TV shows or movies - NOT OK!!!    Background announcers - NOT OK! (This means that videos such as "10 best soccer goals" or "E-sport Valorant victories!!" will not be accepted. So, please don't try...) The title says "funny videos" but videos that are interesting and do not make us laugh, are ok. Some videos are educational and those are good too! The best kind of video is where one person (or a small group) is talking and the viewer (us!) are entertained by the video! Short videos (less than 4 minutes) are best because we will watch ma...

     Please search out an English website that you like to use! It can be news, sports, music or anything else you would like! Please write a post on your page, in 100 words or more about that site and why you like it. Link to the English site on your page too. Then post on this page the link to your writing for this week. The website MUST be written in English by a human being. No Japanese sites and nothing translated with a computer/google/Deep L/ Chat GPT/etc.  The site  MUST be a constantly updating "blog style" site, like the one we are making and you see in my example. It can not be service sites like Amazon, Yahoo, Youtube,  Facebook, X, Kakaku, etc. One of my favorite sites is called "Mac Rumors"  Here is the link. Please click it!!  This site keeps Apple fans up to date with the latest news that is going on in the world of Macs, iPhones, iPads and other stuff.  I am a huge Apple fan and so I want to know what the latest news always i...

        Hello! Please make your first blog post! Please write about yourself, your profile, your hobby, job, family, etc. Tell us all about YOU! It must be at least 100  words  and must have the title “September 24, 2025 - My First Post!”  Please leave a comment on this post with a link to your post!  When you finish, please read the posts left by other students and comment on them as well. Thanks ^-^ PS you can delete Test Post, we do not need it anymore.  My Example: Hello my name is Ken! I was born in America. I moved to Japan many years ago, actually it has been 19 years since I first came to Japan. I went to school for audio and video production. Actually when I was a student, there were no such things as 3d animation or digital art to study, so I did many things using cassette tape. I used to work in America as a radio announcer, producer and director in different places. In Japan I have taught at many universities in the past but now D...

    Today is the first class! We will set up your Blogger.com page!   The rules are very simple, but today will be the most difficult class. It will be much easier after today. When we finish you will understand why. Please follow me and ask questions if you need to. For every class, please DO NOT USE Google Translate! It does not work correctly and creates terrible English nobody can understand. If I think you are using Google Translate (or Weblio, Deep L, etc.) the work will not be accepted. Actually, many students have given me essays that say "Translated by Deep L" at the end! What!? You don't try to hide it?  Are you crazy?    Do not use AI, like Chat GPT, for the same reason. As it says in the syllabus you must use a PC or Mac for every class, including today. iPhone and android will not be accepted. iPads might be ok, but they have settings that often stop Blogger from working correctly. 1-sign into blogger.com. Blogger is owned by Google so a Google...
