I think Japan will fall behind in ICT education compared to other countries because ICT is not a main component in the Japanese school curriculum.  In my elementary school, the ICT lesson was too simple, for example, I learned how to search in search engines. Some schools don't even have ICT lessons. Even in our school, only 7th and 10th-grade students learn ICT/programming. In Syotoku Gakuen, every student can use iPads to search for information and communicate with other students via SNS. Of course, the students need self-management skills to use them appropriately. I think ICT lessons should be included in the compulsory education system and the teaching materials should be free or cheap.

Learning outside the classroom was refreshing. The air was good, there was more light, I could loosen up my legs and it was spacious. However, there is not much space for students to walk around, and cars could come in so it could be dangerous. I think the idea of using the roof was good because it creates more space inside the school. Using the courtyard, pool or the garden in front of the East building would increase the space too.  If different people want to use the same space for different purposes, for example, club activities or a meeting place for discussions, different times should be allocated to these groups or a booking system could be used. 

Then we learned about the practical SPIDER method. I realized that this method can identify almost any problem and the solution to a particular topic. These useful formats for effective learning make it easy to understand and remember the ways to study. I have always used the mind map to find a topic for my SSH project, but I want to use this method to find out problems from now on.

5/5 the Hobbit chapter 14

Chapter 14 - Fire And Water When the dwarves were in the hall looking at the mountain of treasures, Smaug was heading to Lake Town to take revenge on the people. The people of Lake Town first thought that flaming Smaug was gold flowing the river, but Bard, a grim-voiced, grim-faced but courageous man soon realize that it was Smaug, and prepared for an attack. Smaug destroyed the only bridge that connected land and Lake Town and breathed fire on all the houses. He enjoyed the destruction. The men's arrows had no effect on Smaug's hard scales. The people in Lake Town was overpowered.  Many people fled to the shore to save their lives. The master of Lake-Town was very selfish since he abandoned the town earlier than most of the citizens. Bard stayed at Lake Town to fight against the dragon until the last moment. Then suddenly, a thrush landed on his shoulders and tells him Smaug's weakness. The thrush was listening to Bilbo on the mountain and came to Bard to tell him the ...

5/6 The Hobbit chapter 19

Chapter 19 - The Last Stage Bilbo was now at Rivendell.  He had not been home for over a year.  At Riverdell, he and Gandalf rested and told their stories to Elrond. Then Gandalf confesses where he had been when he was not with the dwarves. He was at the great council of the white wizards who had driven the Necromancer from Mirkwood. The Necromancer was actually Sauron, the evil lord that appears in "the Lord of the Rings" as the main antagonist. Then they left Rivendell. They went past the river where they were captured by three trolls and dug up the box of treasure they took from the trolls. Bilbo was surprised when he got back to his hobbit-hole. Bilbo was presumed dead, and his belongings were being sold at an auction. He stops the auction and gets his things back from other people, but he lost his reputation as a good hobbit. They thought Bilbo was queer, even when he told his stories to other people but they are suspicious about it. However, he didn't care becau...

5/6 The Hobbit chapter 18

Chapter 18 - The Return Journey When Bilbo became conscious again, he noticed that he was alone. He also noticed that his side has won the battle. A man came to the hill to find Bilbo, so Bilbo took off his ring and went to the camp where the people were waiting. Gandalf was happy to see Bilbo alive because Gandalf was worried that Bilbo was dead. However, there was bad news too; Thorin had a fatal injury and was dying. Thorin gave his last words to Bilbo. He said he will give some treasure to Bilbo and take back the words he had said to Bilbo. Of course, Bilbo told Thorin he wasn't angry at Thorin. Then Thorin said, "If more of us valued food and cheer and songs above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" and passed away. Bilbo turned away and wept; he had a kind soul. In Thorin's tomb, Bard laid the Arkenstone and the Elven-king laid Orcrist, the elvish sword. Other news were told to Bilbo too. When Bilbo was unconscious, the Eagles attacked the goblins, ca...
