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 really liked the Piktochart tool. I have always loved reading infographics and creating one helped me learn how they work even better. I like the ease of use and how you can choose from different template layouts and themes. I can use it again for compiling information and presenting it in an interesting way. Infographics are much more fun to read than slideshows or other ways of compiling information.

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 memorable presentation has to have interesting information presented in a fun way. To make it stand out, add color and fun graphics that relate to your topic. I am going to blow my audience away by projecting my voice, connecting with them, and seeming interested and passionate about my topic. The uniqueness will come from new information and a creative presentation tool. This way, the audience will not be bored out of their minds and will actually learn new things.

What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
I learned that we truly are letting technology take over our lives. I found it interesting that we are slowly withdrawing ourselves from human contact more and more every day. I think it is accurate that we use text messages to have personal conversations, when really it should be by phone or face-to-face. We needs to start weaning ourselves off of communicating by means of technology, and get back to the old-fashioned conversation

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 that we can always be connected and entertained with things like texting and Netflix. I dislike that companies and the government can track where we are and what websites we visit. I feel like that is an invasion of privacy. I use technology to educate myself and stay connected with relatives who live far away. I don't like that I am always on my phone or some sort of technology. I feel that, as a society, we need to wean ourselves off of technology.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
On Friday night I went to the BV football game against Northwest. We lost but it was still a great game and I had a ton of fun! On Saturday I got new khakis at Macy's for homecoming then started getting ready. I picked my date up for pictures at 6 pm, and when pictures were over at 7 our group went to Sugo's for dinner. It was really good and not that expensive. After that we went to the dance for about an hour then back to a friend's house for the afterparty. I got home around 1:30 and had an okay time.

What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
Infographics are charts with visual representation of the data they contain. They are common on the internet, and are more interesting to read than a page of statistics or a list of information. Their purpose is to inform the reader about whatever topic they cover. They look like a lot of fun to make.
