What photo editing tool(s) have you used so far on your 5 photos project? Do you like the tool? Is it easy to use? Hard to use? What's good about it? Whats bad about it? Give a detailed review of the tool.
So far I have used pixlr and photoshop on my project. Pixlr is easy to use and I really like using it because the editing steps are simple and aren't hard to find. I think the easiest part of using Pixlr is the editing tools because they just drop down from a tool bar and you don't have to go searching for them all over the place. Photoshop has been a little more complicated and I didn't save my picture on it because I didn't think it turned out very well. I just find it to be more confusing so I'll probably end up using Pixlr again.

What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?
Some of the pros of photo editing can be making pictures look neater and cleaner. Photo editing helps magazines and other advertisements look better than the original picture. Cons of editing can be using pictures to deceive another person and make them think that the picture is not what it seems. Photo editing can be fun when you use it on social media sites like instagram, twitter, etc. A person can use it too much when they start to trick other people with editing or they use it in other ways to make people think that it is not what it seems.

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.
