Firefox Portable

It is very useful.
It enables me to use my own customized Firefox on any computer.
That is perfect if only it took a little less time to start.

Google Form survey

Our group asked about "Your College Life."
The function was useful and kind of interesting.
Just like the tool we used when making a presentation,
it is so interesting and new to me that others' operations
immediately appear on my screen.

The result itself was interesting, too.
I especially liked the one who said favorite lunch was sandwich but
never had lunch.

Impression on presentation activity

The tool was really useful, admirable and interesting.
I didn't know that tool at all, so when I saw the screen changed according to another person's operation for the first time, I was so surprised and a little bit glad.
And not only interesting, it is useful, of course. It spares a lot of time when doing a group work.
I'm sure it will be very beneficial in the future.

Fire fox Add-ons

I tried 3 add-ons.

1. ReloadEvery

This is a kind of useful add-on. With this add-on, you can reload the web page(s, if you are using several tabs) you are looking at automatically although you don't do anything. You can change it's setting in advance, then this add-on works every 5 seconds, for example, according to your setting. The interval is completely up to you. You can order it to work every 999 minutes and 59 seconds, I don't know whether such reloading is practical or not, though.


2. Quicknote

This is also, and perhaps a more useful add-on. This add-on enables you to make notes immediately on a web site. If you come up with something you want to write down when viewing a web page, you no longer have to open Notepad program. All you have to do is just to press the Ctrl key with F7 to access Quicknote which appears on the left side of the screen. It contains 4 tabs and each of those tabs has enough space. You will not have trouble in categorizing and saving a lot of information for sure.


3. MushroomKingdom 2


Unlike the two above, this add-on is far from useful, but I think this is pretty attractive. When you add this one to your Firefox, it becomes full of Mario characters. The button to go back turns into Mario's face and the button to go forward is now Luige(?)'s face. When you cannot press those buttons, they are sleeping. There are more small but witty changes, too. Their heart-warming looks must make you comfortable.

Google Tools

I tried Google books tool. It is very useful.
I am taking a psychology class, in which several academic books ware recommended today.
I wanted to read them, but because I can't afford them, I almost gave up.
But when I tried searching with this tool, one of the books was found.
I can read almost the whole book on the Internet for free. It's really amazing.

ARW/RCA progress

They are difficult. I can't read them without my dictionary, though that might be obvious.
However BN's instructors, Susan and Hiroshi, are very helpful.
I would not have managed to understand the contents without thier help, either.
