"Hi everyone! Welcome back to Computer English!"



Last week, we had no class because of the Yosakoi Festival. Did you watch it? There were so many people at the festival this year! I enjoyed Yosakoi on Sunday from Odori Park :-)

Tonight, we are going to use a headset with microphone. Here is the plan:

1. Connect mikes/headsets to computers and set volume controls
2. Make a basic recording using Windows Recorder or MS PowerPoint Recorder, and send it to another student
   
3. Try interactive exercises from the Touchstone textbook CD-ROM
4. Voice chat with Skype (let's hope it works!)

Some students might want to continue working on their slide shows, including recording the text. Other students might want to dress up their blogs. Anyway, please read another student's blog and leave a comment :-)

Speaking of blogs, congratulations to Yasue for her beautiful blog and wonderful English blog updates! If you haven't seen her work, click here.
