This is fun, but it is important how to use this in the classroom. I can see the students can waste so much time, just creating their characters. I have only 40 minutes lesson twice a week. Maybe this is a bit of treat?!?. I am sure that the students will love it.

This is the youtube I want to share. This clip brings back fond memories, ha ha ha. I survived !!!! I want to use this clip in the classroom to let the students know what Japanese people living in the cities have to go through every morning to go to work and school. They should appreciate the space they have and easy (sorry, perhaps I shouldn't say this) life style. In fact this pushing business became almost a game and challenge to me, when I was a student. I really didn't mind it at all. I don't think I can cope with it now, though.

Hi, everyone. How have you been? Last week was a hectic week for me, with JS swimming carnival, hosting JS LOTE assembly, MS interim reports on the top of my usual lessons. In addition to these, we have 4 family birthdays in March. I have finally found the time for thing 6 and 7 today. Thing 6 was easy, but thing 7 seems to be challenging. I think that Dotsub.com and Teachers.tv will be quite useful (I have to have a good look though). Youtube is of course useful and I have been using it in my classroom for a quite long time now. I am going to have a go for thing 7 tomorrow as my eyes are a bit tired from the smoke caused byAlbany bushfire. It is raining now, so hopefully the fire will be controlled before long.

Good Day !!! and Konnichiwa !!!

Hi, I am Shuko teaching Japanese at Great Southern Grammar School (GSG) in Albany. I couldn't attend the session in Perth this time, however I am now working hard at my office at GSG. I am motivated to learn new technology, but at the same time I am really scared because ICT is not my thing!!! I hope that everybody is very patient with me (I know Penny is). I am the person who had to look up the word "blog" in the dictionary to find out what it is, of course the word wasn't there!!! It must be a new thing (HA HA HA).
