I think that this video is true, because when I don't have anything to do or when I don't know someone sitting or standing next to me then I immediately pull out my phone. On the other hand I don't go to the extreme where you are having a group chat with your friends and feel like they are actually there. I know they aren't there and that we are just texting and I like talking to people face to face because there is more of a connection then when you are just texting. I think that the video had a good message and is right because when you walk through the hallways of the school 50% of the people you pass either have headphones in or are texting or playing a game.

THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
I agree I think that school is more about teaching students to deal with lives problems then what your grades are . I do think that the teachers genuinely care about us and want us to succeed, although i have never heard of someone not being able to sleep at night because of their students.

Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.
I think it went good. My favorite part of the video was at the end when all of the skittles moved together as one unit. I learned how to make a stop motion animation and that it would take a really long time and a lot of pictures to make a while movie like this.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
I think stop motion animation is when you make an inanimate object look like it is moving. I think it is like taking an object and taking pictures of it and each time you move the abject a little bit so that in the pictures it will look like it is moving.

Tell me about your 5 frame storyboard. What did you like about the project? What did you dislike? Was it hard to fit a story in to 5 images? Do you think you tell a clear story? What would you do differently if you could? Explain.
My favorite part about my 5 frame story board is that after it I got to eat a sandwich, I also think that I had a really creative idea.I didn't like that it took forever for me to take my pictures from my Google drive and onto my blog. No it wasn't hard to fit a story in 5 images for me because it was clear what the images should be to fit the story I am telling. I think that it does tell a clear story of me making a PB and j sandwich.I would of taken the pictures of me actually putting on the peanut butter and jelly instead of standing behind it once it was done.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?
I don't know what a story board is, bu ti think it has something to do with pictures telling a story on a board. I would tell you how they are used , but I don't know what they are. I have no idea how to make a story board I am guessing there is some website that will help me out with that though.

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 we took all of our pictures yesterday and I think that we should go on scavenger hunts more often it was fun! I think that you had us take those photos so that we would have a variety of different photos instead of saying go take pictures of stuff around the school.

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!
Over spring break I didn't do anything really interesting, I spent most of my time playing volleyball or hanging out with my friends. I had a couple of friends over to celebrate my birthday that is on the 25th of march. That was fun, we went to the movies and called Non Stop it is about this guy who threatens to kill somebody every 20 minutes on a plane and it was really good. Then we went shopping in town center and went out to eat at 810 zone. I was supposed to have a volleyball tournament but it got canceled because two of the teams dropped out so instead I went and watched my sisters volleyball tournament. On the second day of their tournament my little sister didn't feel good and so we took her to the hospital and she had vertigo( the room is spinning and your not) she is fine now.

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean 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.
An infographic is a single piece of paper that creatively combines fact/statistics and graphics such as graphs/ charts and pictures. This is significant because on a normal power point you cant fit all of this onto one easy to read slide you have to divide it up. I think that infographics are are important because it is a easy way to display information, for example if you had a job and needed to make a presentation a infographic would be an easy way to make it a little more pleasing to the eye than a normal presentation.They also don't take very long to make do you could make your infographic then move on to what ever you have to do next.

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.
I would do the infographic because it is easier, more fun and looks better than a paper does. I like infographics because they are colorful and not to difficult.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.
I think you have us collect all of our information first so that we know what we are going to be doing and can spend the next day focusing on getting the piktochart done.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?
I would cure cancer because several million people die from cancer every year. This has effected several people including me, my grandpa died from lung and heart cancer last year, so it would be good if I could fix that. I also know several women with breast cancer that have over came it, so we are getting close to a cure, that will hopefully not involve a lot of surgeries and stuff like that.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint?Explain.
I love both of them, although I have never used either before this class they seem to work pretty well. I like how it automatically saves everything so I don't have to remember. This is good because I tend to forget to hit the save button then lose all of my work. I have not run into any problems yet. I do like these sites better than PowerPoint because you have to actually press save on PowerPoint and here I don't have to worry about that and I can just exit out of it.

"Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."
I agree because they are the ones who decided to post it and if they don't want somebody to use it then they shouldn't put it on the internet. Also if it is on the internet everybody can see it anyway so I don't get why we wouldn't be able to use it.
