There is now less than a month left of my life in the United States. That said, there are still parts of the data analysis that haven’t been finished, so I am quite busy. I also need to start preparing for my return to Japan soon. I have booked my return flight and contacted the moving company; all that remains is to dispose of things I won’t be taking back to Japan and to sell my car. I plan to write a reflection on my sabbatical after I return home.

By the way, the Japan Society for Educational Technology 2022 Autumn National Conference will be held in Kawasaki on September 10th and 11th. The autumn conference consists of poster presentations. As of now, it seems it will be held in a hybrid format. Three of our students will be presenting. One will present in person, and two will present online. If you are interested, I would appreciate it if you could listen to their presentations.
