What is your favorite web tool that we have used in class so far this year? Why is it your favorite web tool? What do you like about it? How can you use it again in the future?

I have really enjoyed using Prezi this year. It is my favorite because of the ease of use and reliability. Mostly it's reliability, because many of the other tools have issues that don't allow me to use it at it's full capability. Also its ease to use because it allows a person like me who doesn't read directions to use the program. I will use it again in the future to create organized presentations in my classes or later in life.

Journal: Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend I got a haircut and some new clothes. I also had lunch with my grandparents at Jersey Boyz. I also sat up in my room all of Saturday and played GTA 5.

Journal - What makes a presentation memorable? What makes a presentation stand out and not boring? How are you going to make your presentation better than anyone else? How will you make it unique? Explain.

You will need to have a great hook for the presentation, they need to have information with lots of interesting facts or stats. The presenter needs to speak loud enough for the whole audience to understand them and make eye contact with all of the audience. I'm going to use these tips on mine to make it as good as I can.

Journal - What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.

I learned that technology is becoming a substitute for real, human interaction. People are using their phones so much that they don't know how to act with people. Some people even have their technology as a companion.

Journal - What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.

I like how we are able to have conversations with someone across the world within seconds. I also like being able to talk with friends online and being able to contact people when you need to. Things I dislike about the digital age are people being addicted to the internet and staying up late in the night on it. People who do that end up being tired all day. Also, I dislike when people who use the internet become very lazy and then end up gaining lots of weight and end up very unhealthy.

Infographic

Journal - Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.

Instead of going to the homecoming dance on Saturday  I went over to one of my friend's house with a few other people who didn't want to go to the dance. We had some pizza, wings, bread sticks and a lot of mountain dew. Then we walked around the neighborhood for awhile and ended up at my house where we played video games. Then I fell asleep.

Journal - What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?

An infograpic is a group of pictures and captions displaying information about a topic. There can also be lists, charts, graphs, or other data displays in an infographic. People may use an infographic for their business, group, or personal use. They can be used to display information about a certain topic, to promote something, or to persuade someone to do something.
