114. MTEC Party

The first MTEC party was held on May 25, 2007.
It was a joint party of 07tpm (MTEC's regular course) and an area-focused training courses.

Oh, you missed it?
OK, don't miss it next time. Show up at Front B on time. :D

I will post photos later.

113. Aerobics class

One of the ways to stay healthy is enjoying sports.
The participants here are encouraged to enjoy Aerobics on every Wednesday.



These are some shots from the class.
It is really refreshing to be there after the technical training, I believe.

After dancing, the muscle tuning follows.
Why don't you join the class next week?

The photographer here was Fumiyo san, our assistant in MTEC.

112. Bienvenue à MTEC. Welcome to MTEC.

From today until June 8, MTEC assists the participants of "TV Program Production Team Training for French-Speaking African Countries". The course is provided for the TV program production staffs from Benin and Senegal. Uramoto san is in charge of the group.

Ms. Takahashi, the training coordinator. Someone who fluently speaks foreign language that I do not speak really looks cool, doesn't she? She is rally cool.

111. Rainy season set in

Japan Meteorological Agency announced that Okinawa area has set in rainy season yesterday (May 16, 2007).
On the weather chart of this morning, we can see the white object is extented across Japan.
This is the rain cloud causing the rainy season. Usually it lasts 1.5 months followed by typhoon (cycrone) season.

For the detailed information, visit the website of Japan Meteorological Agency.

110. Then the training started...

What is media literacy?
What is media?







Alright, they are the starting points of "Introduction to Multimedia" by our "007", or Uramoto san.

The starting subject of the training is this.

109. One year anniversary!

Today, May 15, is the anniversary of this MTEC blog.

I do not think anyone else than myself has noticed it in MTEC,
I celebrate myself.

I started this with a hope to post about 100 in a year, so my goal has been achieved.
I am happy that MTEC has been working for people, and I can post our activities.

May the real peace fill the world.

108. Course orientation

The training of "Theory and Practice on Public Enlightenment Using Multimedia 2007" started today. As all MTEC courses had it, we had Course Orientation today. MTEC staffs, the participants made introduction.

Believe it or not (?), Maekawa san made his introductory speech for 5 minutes only. Was there anything wrong with you, sir?


Tokumura san explained the development cycle of the maeterial development, which we started to call "Tokumura cycle".

Lastly, the specially made video letter from the previous course participants was shown. Here, Helen from the Philippines welcomes the new participants (or unseen siblings) and gives her
serious advices to fulfill the training. Hmmmm, very significant! :D

Well, just feel at home (MTEC is your home away from home), and have a good time together!

107. Welcome to the new MTEC family members!
