November 3, 2025 - Preparation for the Final Project

  Today and the next classes (11/3, 11/5, 11/10) we will work on our final project.


What do we need to do? Make a video and then post it on our page.

The topic of the video is a funny story. In this way, the topic is open and free, but the story has to be interesting or funny. 

You can show images and have music. If you do, make sure match your topic and that they look and sound clear. If there is no music or images that is ok. For today, you can write, record and edit the video. Then NEXT Monday, write a post that will include the video. 11/10 is not the last class, but we will try to finish on this day in case there is some problem and someone can't finish on the last day (sick or computer problem) then there will still be 1 more day, just in case.

The video must be 2 minutes or longer and include your voice, in English. No changed voices, no avatar character in place of yourself. NO V TUBER!! I don't even know what those things are, so I don't want to see it!

The grading will be 20 points out of 20 based on length of video (2 minutes or more), the English used in the video, and the written post on 11/10

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE ANY POST FOR TODAY OR NOVEMBER 5

Here is a sample video by a student from last year. It is a little strange, but tells a story, of some kind.



Here are a few other examples.












DO NOT MAKE AI GARBAGE!!
YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY!







If you have a YouTube channel, you can not use some video already made for that, it has to be created in class for this class. However you can upload it and share it, unlisted for easier viewing.

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...

        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...
