March 26

Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?

     Yes! It was a lot of fun. I think it was good to do it because it is definitely something different to do. I think we are taking these pictures for a stop motion video but this is just a guess. I have already started to enjoy this project. And... I love taking pictures.

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain.

I know a lot about photography. I took photography first semester and it was a lot of fun. When I take pictures I use my phone but my dad has a really nice camera.  We use this to take pictures for our Christmas card or when we are dressed up. The pictures on the nice camera turn out the best. We have a few digital cameras that we no longer use as well.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

My Spring Break was relaxing. I have been extremely busy with cheer and school this year and it was nice to finally have a break. My family went to Mexico. We stayed at La Estancia in Cabo. It was very nice. This is our second time going there because last year we loved it. In mexico the majority of the time I layed on the beach. I occasionally got in the ocean but the waves were really rough. We went to different places for dinner every night. My favorite was romeo and Juleita. It was Italian and I got fettuccine alfredo which was awesome. The restaurant was outdoors and so cool. The excursions we did were zip lining and a boat day which was great. Overall it was a fun and relaxing trip.

Infographic

March 5, 2014

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean really use your brain. What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What impact can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

Info graphics have a huge significance. An infogrphic is an organized way that a reader can look at the information. There are many different types of learners. There are visual learners, auditory learners and kinesthetic learners. The majority of people are actually visual learners which means that they learn best by looking at graphics, watching a demonstration or reading organized information. When a reader goes to seek information about a topic on a website for insistence, they are going to pick the website that has the least amount of text. This website will also be organized with colors and the information will be easily accessible. No one wants to read a long page of boring text with added fluff. This is where an infographic is so handy. There is no time wasting fluff. It is organized with colors and shapes. They are filled with facts and easy to comprehend with information brought to you in a different form. Infogrpahics are truly helpful.

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.

I would definitely choose an infographic. First of all, inforgraphics are fun to create! It allows you to be creative and use your imagination. Because of this, information about a topic is eye catching for the readers. Writing an essay is very boring and usually in every essay there is a lot of fluff. Fluff is information that is not necessary. This can be make it very hard for readers to take information in. An infographic is a more organized form of an essay for sure. 

Friday February 28

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 was absent on Friday because I was out of town. So, I have not had a lot of time to work on this. I am no where close to being done and it is stressing me out. However, I have used my time wisely. I have a lot of little details and things that are very eye catching but these take a ton of time to create so that is why this is taking so long. I will finish it for homework tonight.
