Today we learned so much things:):)

But we learned sooo much things that I'm sure I won't be able to write about them all:)
I'll just pick up several things from today's class.

www.freedocumentaries.org
This is a site where you can get free online videos. The videos on this site have general information and high quality.

Media Education Foundation
This site also has free online videos. Compared to Freedocumentaries, the information is more deeper into detail but with lower quality.
The great thing about this site is that you can get more information about the video by reading Materials&Resources.

For other video sources, you can use Google Videos which can sort videos by length, and YouTube which can make you add videos on favorites and even add the channel page to get new upload notices, and Veoh which is also a video providing site.
In sites like Youtube, you can find sources that are not shown in Japanese TVs such as the nuclear ginza problem.

Finally, Rab warned us how dangerous facebook could be. Because the privacy settings change often without letting us know, the information which we think is private could become public. After class I quickly checked my facebook profile settings... Nothings seemed to have changed so far.. But I need to keep on checking:P
Rab told us that it was hard to get your personal information out of facebook once you made an account on it, and that made me scared a bit. But considering that this is nearly my only way to connect to friends in other countries, I think I'll keep on using facebook.. with a little more care. I wonder if other services like mixi also have the same kind of risk.

Today's class was another informative sophomore class and I really enjoyed it X)lol
