電気通信大学 ASE II: More supporting links for final presentation assignment・期末プレゼンテーションのサッポートリンク

Hello!

How are you? Today here is a short post of some more supporting links for all of you that may be to your interest for your final presentation assignment. They connect in some ways to my topic suggestions that I posted last week about the final presentations. 

Links 
You are free to check out the following links:

• Fawn Qiu - Easy DIY projects for kid engineers (2016.7) - click on this link to watch this video 
• David Hoffman - Sputnik mania (2007.3) - click on this link to watch this video

For both of these videos, you can get Japanese subtitles (字幕) and written transcripts of the talks in Japanese if you need them. 

Here are two (2) other links from YouTube that are longer, but may also be to your interest: 

• Mojo.com - 10 overhyped inventions that flopped - go to this link to watch this video 

• Great Moments in Science and Technology - Tim Berners-Lee and the World Wide Web - go to this link to watch this video 

Like the TED Talk videos, these YouTube links also have Japanese subtitle support if you need it. 

About two-sided argumentation
New - here are the board notes from today's (1/15) class. Look at these for a refresher on two-sided argumentation development in presentation speaking delivery: 

I hope these links and notes will help you in your topic interests, choices, and research. 

See you next week for presentation practice!

東京理科大学 情報工学科技術英語: Supporting post for final presentations・期末発表のサポート

Hello!

How are you? Here is a supporting post for all of your final presentation projects - a series of TED Talk links that treat different areas of the internet, WWW and AI, and issues concerning views on internet regulation.  

Video links
Here are the links. Each one will take you directly to the TED website. With each one, except one, you can download the written transcript of the talk in either English or Japanese. 

The Japanese subtitling on the videos that have them may still not be exact for the topic, but it generally is better than on most YouTube videos. In the same way, the Japanese transcripts may not be exact, but generally give you good guides that you can follow for a topic if you need them. 

1. Margaret Gould Stewart – How the hyperlink changed everything (2018.03) - click on this link for this talk. 

2. Chris Sheldrick – A precise, three-word address for every place on earth (2017.08) - click on this link for this talk. 

3. Kenneth Shinozuka – My simple invention, designed to keep my grandfather safe (2014.11) - click on this link for this talk. 

4. Keller Rinaud – A mini robot – powered by your phone (2013.02) - click on this link for this talk. 

5. Pratick Shah – How AI is making it easier to diagnose disease (2018.07) - click on   

this link for this talk.

6. Olga Yurkova – Inside the fight against Russia’s fake news empire (2018.4) - click on this link for this talk. 

7. Trevor Timm – How free is our freedom of the press (2016.2) - click on this link for this talk.

8. Daniel Engber – How the progress bar keeps you sane (2018.3) - click on this link for this talk.

9. Tamas Kocsis – The case for a decentralized internet (2018.11) - click on this link for this talk. 

Important notes:
Talks #6 and #9 do not have Japanese subtitles or transcripts, but both show some timely issues with the internet. Talk #9 is also longer - at 10 minutes - but again, is a powerful talk and is the latest one here, uploaded to the TED website in November. 

NEW - Presentation tips and example
Here are two (2) videos for you on presentation that may help you as well. Rather than making a separate post, I have decided to include them here.

The first one is a funny, but important one on good and bad presentation habits:



The second one is a TED Talk from a 12-year-old app developer. It's a great model for a confident, informative, and interesting presentation:



I hope these links and videos will be interesting and informative for you. 

Take care!

電気通信大学 AE2Y II: Final project supporting links

Hello!

How are you? Today I have some TED Talk links that connect to our writing project themes for all of you. 

Video links
Remember that you are taking your written abstract topic and now developing a fuller paper with it. These TED Talks may bring some key examples and details to your topics that can add more and help you to develop your compositional writing.

Do not limit yourself to these TED Talks. There may be more examples on the TED website, plus other websites as well, that you can explore. The more original research that you can do the better! But these are some good examples that you may find interesting and informative.

Check out any of the following links:

1. Gary Kovacs – Tracking our online trackers (2012.2) - see the video at this link. 

2. Elza Dunkels – Internet safety for children (2010.4) - see the video at this link. 

3. Laura Galante – How (and why) Russia hacked the US election (2017.5) - see the video at this link. 

4. Olga Yurkova – Inside the fight against Russia’s fake news empire (2018.4) - see the video at this link.

5. Tamas Kocsis – The case for a decentralized internet (2018.11) - see the video at

this link. 

6. Andrea Difilippo – Some doors aren’t meant to be closed: Parenting in cyberspace (2017.12) - see the video at this link.

Important notes:

TED Talks #1, 2, 3, and 6 all have Japanese subtitles and written transcripts if you need them. #4 and 5 do not have Japanese support - but the topics connect with what many of you are doing, so they may still be very useful for you. 

If you check these two TED Talks out, especially take your time with them - stop the video as many times as you need. 

I hope these links help you. Of course, at any time you can do your own research - I recommend that you do - there are many sites in both English and Japanese you can find that connect to your topics and interests. 

Good luck! Take care!
