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?

We did get our pictures taken yesterday.  We were able to get at least one picture of every item that was on the scavenger hunt. I enjoyed doing the scavenger hunt because I like to take pictures and it was something fun and different.  I think we took those pictures because they are easy to edit and the pictures were easy to take.

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 don't know very much about photography.  When I do take pictures, I use my cell phone because I always have it with me and I have easy access to the pictures I take.  I do have a digital camera, but I rarely use it because I think that it is easier to use my phone.

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!

This spring break, I mostly stayed home.  I hung out and watched basketball with my brother, had volleyball practices, and read.  For the last four days of spring break, I went to Indianapolis for a national qualifier volleyball tournament.  We finished 5th place, which was a little disappointing, but overall it was a good tournament for us as a team.  While I was there, I also saw the movie Divergent.  I was expecting the movie to not be very good, but I actually really liked it.  Overall, I had a good and relaxing spring break.

Infographic

March 5

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.

An infographic is something that shows information visually. They are helpful to people because they allow quick and easy access to information on a topic.  Infographics also make information easier to understand because the actual information is paired with graphics. Infographics display information in a way that makes it easier and faster to understand.  Pairing graphics and information makes learning about the topic easier and more engaging to the viewer.

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

I would create an infographic.  In my opinion, infographics are easier to make because all you need to do is put in the facts, you don't need to have an introduction or conclusion. I also think that infographics are more fun to create.
