I think this Zotero is very very useful to our study from now on! I wonder why we couldn't use it last term...but I'm not sure if I can use this fluently or not, because it was quite hard for me. I need a lot of training before using it for writing essay in ELA. Also, I wonder if we can use it not using google chrome, since I'm using Windows instead of Mac.
I need to find some source about Witch Hunt for my essay in ELA, because I want to write about discrimination among myths. We sometimes discriminate people with stereotypes, without noticing what the person is like. And that tereotypes sometimes can be a myth without any reliable evidence. I want to write about these things.

• Teaching high school student as my part time job
• Went to high school and played kendo

This was first time for me to make this kind of survey and ther report. I didn't know that there are some techniques to make people feel easy to answer the truth, so it was really interesting. And also, using computer for making and collecting survey make my life very very easier! I am going to using this for my research writings in the future, not only in ELA but also in psychology, because I want to study psychology later. I think that there are more effective way to present the result, so I want to learn more about it.

 

Homework September 8th 2014

Hi! My first week in fall has finished! It was quite a hard week... But it was excited:)
So let me answer the question from our homework.

Ok. How do I think the tools or strategies that we are going to learn in this class will be helpful in my academic research.I think that these tools and strategies are very useful. For example I can use Bloger for knowing what people think about something by looking at their comments and also I can understand what other proper are thinking by looking at their blog. Evernote is a good tool to collect information that I want to use in paper. There are so many sources in the Internet, and it is really confusing to find the place to get some information. By using this tool, I think that I can narrow down the range of the site to get the information and can concentrate on finding out whether the source is reliable or not. For Zotero, I think this is the best tool that we are going to learn in this class! I was so confused with writhing works cited that i always feel like I cannot understand what I was doing. I think this is not just me, everyone might have feel like that. This tool must help as a lot!

Secondly, how comfortable for me to use such a technology for learning. I'm not really good at using technologies like Internet, so I find it quite difficult to learn using these tools. I normally use Google or Google scholar to search in my student life, but I don't think I'm using it effectively.  However I'm sure that these tools are very convenient and useful to our learnings, so I want to and I have to use these fluently.
