Don't Forget!

       Were are 3 weeks into an 8 week class. It will soon be over before you know it! I think we are doing a good job, and I hope you are having fun. However we must clean up the blog and make sure everything is uniform for everyone in the class.

1- Name! Make sure your display name is written in English using English rules. Capital letters and first/last order. Example: Satoshi Tajiri. Not satoshi. Not satoshi tajiri. Not tajiri satoshi. Not Satoshi TAJIRI. 

Same with the title. All blogs should have your name + 's Blog. Example Satoshi's Blog

2-Profile picture. You do not need you have a  photo of your face. However you can not have the orange B as your profile picture.

3- Color and style. Please make sure you have a color and style layout chosen that is not default. Any color is OK but give  your blog some unique personality!

4- ALL ENGLISH! Of course write in English, but also you should have your blog set to English with all buttons labeled in English for all actions. This will not change the settings of blogger or google. It will stay in Japanese.

5- Date and title format. Please follow the format set by me, the teacher for each class day. Simply, copy it exactly how I write it. Example: October 6, 2025 - All About Music.

6- Stay on time! It is ok if you were sick and miss one day, or if you could not finish by 3:50 and needed more time, but do not fall behind. Make sure to finish the work by the next day if you can not do it in class. Example: Monday's class - finish by Tuesday night. Wednesday's class - finish by Thursday night.

 

Each post will be worth 5 points based on the quality of writing and following the rules. Mid and Final projects will be 20.

Post your work for each class day in today's post. I well then get an email notifcation that you have done so. Then the work can be accepted.

September 22, 2025 - The First Day of Class!

    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...

September 24, 2025 - My First Post!

        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...

September 29, 2025 - My Favorite Site!

     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...
