The Three-Faced Detective and the Deputy Minister of General Affairs

This morning, the "Three-Faced Detective" was on "Tokudane!"!!! Wow.
After that, I rushed over and had the opportunity to talk with Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kamikawa about Digital Ehon, PEG, the Workshop Collection, CANVAS, digital textbooks, and more♪

Yesterday was the general meeting of the Digital Textbook and Educational Materials Council. It’s the one day
a year when all the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons gather—haha
. Everyone has such unique personalities and so much energy; it’s really fun.
Since I was moderating and providing explanations, I was actually supposed to wrap things up on time, but I couldn’t help but chime in with comments
here and there, which ended up running over—
my apologies to everyone involved.
But I really wanted to set aside about three hours for discussion!
Next year’s DiTT theme is “Breakthrough Power.” I’ll
do my best!
