Previous students from the academic 2021 year, gave the course very good feedback so I plan to keep it much the same.

All students will need a personal Gmail account as the Hosei ones have many things turned off. Also having your own laptop would be very useful. Alternatively, a tablet and smart phone would be okay.

This course should be fun as you will be learning many things about technology in education that is not commonly taught to students. So come with an open mind and be ready to learn.
