Journal – 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?
My favorite tool is prezi. I like it because it is easy and simple to use. I also didn't think that it was easy and it could just complicate things, but after I used I really like it. The think that I like about it most is the transitions that come from slide to slide and the designs that you can use. I think in the future I will use it. I will use it in other classes when we have to put together presentations or power points- commonly in science or contemporary issues. I think it was good that I found prezi.

Journal- How was your weekend?
Mainly my weekend consisted of doing homework and playing volleyball. On Saturday, that was when I played volleyball, and we ended up taking 3rd in the sophomore tournament as the freshman "a" team. It was a really bitter loss in the semi finals, because we barely lost, and it could have gone anyway. As it turned out we had to play our own sophomore team in the play out for 3rd, and they were pretty upset about that. On Sunday, I went to church and when I came home I finished my homework for contempary issues and hela9. I then spent the rest of the day working on a speech that I had to write for church and face timing a friend about it. By the end of the weekend, though, I was not ready for the week to start.

Journal - 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.
What makes a presentation memorable is how interesting the speaker is. The speaker should not also read of the screen because that makes it boring. To me, a presentation that the speak is funny and gets really involved will be one of the presentations that stand out. What is am going to do to make it memorable to even one else, is make the slides interesting and the pictures colorful and interesting as well. To make it unique I will put in interesting picture, and have it relate to the information.

Journal - What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
I learned that psychologist think that we are trying to find a "connection" with our phone, because we believe that it is not present in humans. I also learned some stories that she elaborated on. I find it a bit interesting that she thought so harshly on the topics. I think that she thought to much on them. I didn't think that everything she said could be fully proven to be true. However, she did provide interesting theories as to way we do these things, and if they are true I would see them as accurate. The thing that I thought was most interesting was the names she gave to the topics that she talked about.

Journal - 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.
What I like about it is it makes things easier, such as doing projects. It also makes the social life more interesting, you can get to know more people or see more about the person that you might have not known other wise. Something that I dislike about it is that when they run slowly, it drives me nuts. I also don't like when typing something up and don't save, and the computer shuts down or something and then you lose all your work, I hate that. The use of it is helpful because, as said before, it makes things faster and you can get them done faster. That is my overall thought about the "digital age" we are in now."

Journal - Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
I did go to homecoming over home coming weekend. However, before the dance I had a volleyball tournament that my team had to go to, which we ended up winning. Then once I got home I had a couple hours to get ready. After that I went to some ones house and we took pictures there. After that we went to eat dinner at Bravo, me and a girl split a pizza type thing. Then we proceeded to the dance. I didn't think that it was the much fun, more of the pre-dance stuff was more fun to me. Overall, it was still a great day.

Journal - What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
I don't know what infographics are. If I had to guess I would guess that they are something with the build of a computer. I don't really know if that is far from right or not. Since I don't know what they are I can't tell what the purpose of them are. With my guess though, I would say that there prpose is to show things on the screen.
