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 think my favorite web tool so far has been prezi because it's really easy to use and it's efficient. It's much better than just using a powerpoint because it has better transitions and it also lets you adjust your slides. A lot of other presentation tools are exactly like powerpoint and I don't like to use them. I think I can use prezi in the future for more projects and to maybe help with college materials.

Tell me about your weekend.
Over the weekend I had to get allergy tested to see what kind of things I'm allergic to. After that I went out to dinner with one of my friends on my soccer team and then hung out with another one of my friends. We watched a movie at my house. I also had a soccer game at the Overland Park Soccer Complex which my team won. My family then went over to our neighbors house to carve pumpkins and have lunch which was really fun. Lastly I had a study-date with one of my friends from school and we went out to eat and do our homework together.

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.
Something I think makes a presentation really unique is when a presenter finds a way to connect with the audience to keep them engaged. A presentation stands out when there are memorable images, easy information to remember, and the presenter makes the information stick with the listeners. I think a was to not make a presentation boring is by getting the audience involved by asking questions. I'm going to try and make my presentation unique by adding in good information that is easy for people to remember and also making sure that the pictures I use are strong enough to make the audience remember them.

What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
In the Ted Talk yesterday I learned that technology is pulling us away from each other. Even though we might think that it is helping society grow, we are actually losing important life skills that are necessary while continuing to grow. Most of the things mentioned in the video were very accurate because all of it was based on psychology. Although we think that technology can be our best friend, we need actual human contact to be able to establish healthy relationships instead of being on our phones and other devices all the time. I thought it was interesting how she described the past and present feelings of how texting and calling works.

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.
The digital age that we live in today is something that is so advanced that it's almost uncontrollable. One of the good things about it though is that we are able to easily contact and share things with others. I use technology in my life to communicate with family and friends easily. Technology is starting to get out of hand, and that's something I don't like about it. A lot of the time when people post things they can never get it back. I think that's kind of dangerous in some situations.

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 weekend I helped my little sister get ready for homecoming. My grandparents were also visiting from Nebraska to celebrate my birthday and my sister's birthday. We went out to a nice dinner and then hung out at my house for awhile. I also had three soccer games which went really well.

What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
Infographics are used to show any kind of statistic by using a diagram with pictures and charts that are easy to read. They are often times seen online. Their purpose is to show a reader a certain statistic and demonstrate it so they can read it easy. The pictures that go with an infographic have something to do with the topic that the statistic is about. Most of them include either a percent or some other kind of number.
