Journal – 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?

 My favorite web tool we've used is prezi. I liked it because it's easy to use and fun to use. It's also easy to share with other people. I like the transitions between the slides. I will use it again in the future to present information I would like to share with other people.

Tell me about your weekend:

This weekend I got a job as a ball spotter at the Meadow brook golf course. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday I made 67$. On Sunday after work I hung out with two of my friends who are probably getting paid to be my friends.

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.

A presentation that is memorable leaves an impression on the watcher(s). If you want to make a presentation that is not boring, you will have to make it colorful, but not too colorful. You don't want to distract the watcher, but you also want to attract the watchers attention. You also want to have alot of information, but you don't want to have paragraphs, just small facts and statistics.

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

I thought that TED talks was overreacting a bit. Yes, some teenagers might be over attached to their phone, but that doesn't mean all of them are completely attached to it and want to become "companions" with their phones. She was making a lot of assumptions about the future of cell phones. Like the one where Siri would listen to you and respond. She was assuming that we would become emotionally attached to our phones.

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 that everything is so easy to access. I also love how connected the world has become. There's not much I like about the digital age, but one thing I don't like it people becoming extremely overweight because of being on a digital device for too long. I use technology to talk with friends that live too far away. technology makes it easier to talk to them. I also use technology to track my times of exercise.

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

Over the homecoming weekend I had a bro night with all my bros. We ordered pizza and wings and watched a movie. After that we went to my place and got my stuff and someones bike broke so we towed him with a rope. We didn't die surprisingly. We went to another friends house and played Grand Theft Auto 5 until midnight when everybody had to leave.

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

I know that infographics are created to help display information in a colorful yet non-distracting way. They help someone understand a subject usually through facts and statistics.
