I agree with some of the things that he said. I agree because when you are on your phone you aren't really being social at all and you are in your own little world. I think that you should have your phone with you because sometimes it is necessary when you need to get a hold of someone. I think that people should start to communicate with others with out a phone. People think that being on your phone is social but i think that it is actually opposite of that.

I think that the blog post was cool. It had a good message. I thought it meant that school is not just for learning subjects like math and science, it is for learning how to deal with other things you will face later in your life. You may not need to know some things you learn today later in your life but you will need other things to help motivate yourself.

I really liked the stop motion animation project. It was cool to see everyone's project. I think that I should have taken my pictures at the same angle because some of them were taken at different angles. My project turned out really cool and i think other people also liked it.

I made a heart out of crayons. I added one each time to make the heart and then when it was done i took away one every time until they were all gone. I already took all of my pictures so today in class I am going to upload all my pictures to the computer.

Stop motion animation is a video. It makes something look like it is moving. They use it in a lot of movies. I think that we will have to make a stop motion animation in class because we are looking up what it is today.

I did my story on what I do after school. I liked that you didn't have to use words on the Google document. I didn't really like how it was five pictures. I would have put a picture of something else instead of a snack  because I already have a picture of dinner.

A story board is just like a cartoon. You can make them on the internet. They are a little similar to info graphics because they both can be pictures. In a five frame storyboard you have to make it tell a story and in an infographic it is just information and pictures.

I thought that the scavenger hunt was fun to do. Some of the things on the list were kids of hard to get.  Madi and I got all of the pictures. My guess is that we will be using Photoshop to edit pictures in our next project.

I don't know a whole lot about photography.When I take pictures I usually take pictures with my iphone. I don't own my own camera. If I need one I use my moms.

During my spring break my family went to Florida. We went to Naples to see my grandparents. We did a lot of fun things there.  We went to the everglades one day and went on a tram ride. One day we went to the beach and laid out all day and we went shopping a lot. I also watched a couple movies there.

The importance of an infographic is to learn some information. An infographic is also supposed to be more interesting to read then to read an essay. They usually have a lot of color in them which draws your attention. Also they have tips, statistics, and facts in them.

Infographic

Tuesday, March 4

I would rather make an info graphic because they are fun to make. They usually don't take a lot of time and you can give them color. You could also add fun information.  Writing a  three page paper would be a littile boring.

Blog Post of the Day:
How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

I am not very far along. I have like three slides done so I probably wont be ready to embed my pornographic at the end of the hour. I think that I have used my time in class good but I could have gotten more done yesterday.

So you can plan of what you are going to put in your project. you can also come up with different ideas in a Google Doc.

The main idea of an infographic is to put information in it and you can make it fun. You can make it colorful and put pictures in them.  In an infographic there are statistics, facts and tips

Blog Post of the Day:
Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

I am on my fourth paragraph right now. I think that the outline helped  a lot. It is pretty easy to write the paragraphs when you are using your outline.

I really look up to my mom. She is

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

I didn't go to sweetheart this weekend. I had to babysit for my neighbors last minute because Paige was supposed to but she had something come up last minute so I had to cover for her. Sunday I cleaned my room and watched T.V. for a couple minutes. Then we had family and friends over at my house for the Superbowl.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.

I picked unemployment as my global issue. I think its important to know how the economy is doing and what the unemployment rate is.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?

I would probably fix world hunger. I think its sad to think that some people don't have food to eat and that they might be starving.

A public Service announcement is a message. It can raise awareness about something.

Tuesday, January 21

On Friday I went out to dinner and watched a movie. Saturday I went to Nebraska Furniture Mart with my dad and then we went out to lunch after we watched the KU basketball game. Sunday morning i went to lunch with emily and then we went to go get our nails done together. Sunday night I watched Keeping up with the Kardashians. Yesterday I went ice skating with my family and then to Jose Peppers. When I got home I worked on homework and then watched some TV.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? Explain.


I have learned how to make power points and how to get pictures. I like that is it faster. I don't like that you cant crop your pictures, that was sort of annoying. Yes, I think it's better than powerpoint because its a little easier to use and its faster. 

January 13, 2014

I disagree because that is someone elses picture. If you want to use their picture then you should be able to but you have to site it. If someone used my picture and didn't give me credit it would annoy me.

Friday January 10

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

I want to learn how to use blogs. Also i want to be able to do more things on the computer that i haven't ever done yet.
