Blog Post: 2/27/17 - Infographic Reflection
What have you learned about Infographics?  Did you enjoy creating your own? (please explain). When might you use an Infographic in your school work, personal life, or other?  Which Infographic site did you use?  Was the site easy to navigate? Would you use it again or look for another site?

**Post your completed Infographic to this blog post
I learned what they are! I did enjoy creating my own infographic( I am still in the process!). I could use this for school projects or for promoting a business etc.. I am using pickto chart and it had been very easy to use. I would look for another to site to see if i could find one easier to navigate but that would probably be hard to find. Pickto chart has been easy to navigate and it gets quicker as i go along trying to do repetitive things like add pictures. Just Keep Swimming Infographic

Blog Post: 2/21/17 Canva vs. Lucid Press

Now that you have been exposed to two online design programs, write a 5-10 sentence reflection on your thoughts on both of them.

• Which one was the easiest to join & use?
• Provide 2 pros/cons of using both Canva & Lucid Press
• In your opinion, which program created the nicest, trendiest documents?
• Which program provided the most "free" features?
• Overall, which one did you like the most? Explain...                                                                                                     I could sign up quicker with Canva and it was easier to use. There were pretty designs on Canva. Canva also had a petty website that was easy to use. The cons where that it did not give very much help in being creative. Canva made it difficult to try to save something onto my folder. The pros of Lucid Press was one, it helped a person form their business documents and two, it was easy to customize color. The Con was an ugly template color and that i had server problems when trying to join, not to mention the business card was confusing to try and figure out the template (the back and front looked like they were individuals.) Canva had the trendiest but Lucid Press had the nicer documents. I think Canva had the most free options. I liked canva more because it was less work to change the backgrounds and had more exceptionally cute templates. 

2/16 "My Dream Business"

Blog Post:  2/16 "My Dream Business"

Think of a business that you would love to start or run.  Tell me about your business idea, where you would locate your business, what goods or services you would provide, etc., etc....

My created business is "Rent-A-Friend". This business allows you to pay an actor to be your friend! Don't have a date for Prom... rent one! Located next to high schools and colleges! My business allows unsocial people to be the next big hit at school. My employees are excellent fake friends and promise to not judge you! If you need a date to a dance or a person to sit by at a seminar call us! Did your second ant get sick the day before your wedding? Look through our wide selection of actresses to fill her spot at the family picture.

This is my flyer advertising my business! It shows the transformation you could have by partaking in my business. Pictures portray popular people and people who have no friends... which one would you rather be?

This is my Menu. It helps customers see the options of actors and their prices. This is a vital document to my business! 

Above and below this caption are my business front and back. Quick information is available
on the back of this card about my business! This card could help
me expand my business!

I could use this canva for anyone who send's me gifts for my birthday on the 24th!

This canva is of a bible verse i posted to help people with Coach D's problems the night before he died. I am gong to set this as my screen savor!

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend.  Did you attend the game at Southwest?   How about the dance?  If you didn't go to sweetheart, what did you do?  Please attach a picture or 2 from your phone that tells me about your weekend. 

I did not go to the Southwest game but i did go to sweetheart! I wen with my friend Alan and a group of friends. We went to Buca Di Beppos on the Plaza to eat. It was so fun to get to drive my friends in my Dad's car for the night! When we got to the dance we had so much fun! It was so great to see my brother walk down the isle (sweetheart junior attending)! I love to dance and our after party was full of balloon hunger games which was fun to! People tried to pop each others balloons and the last one who ad one won! The pictures above are some of my favorite from sweetheart!

Kids these days

Kids are so negative these days. They feel entitled and like they deserve everything when in reality they do not deserve anything given to them. And when they try to stand up for things, they are morally wrong. Our world has come to be a place that is so outspoken. No kid these days seems to want to work hard. All these broken and confused kids have a slim chance of living up to their potential. They have to choose to take the blinds off their eyes.

collaborating remotely

Blog Post: 2/6 "Collaborating Remotely" Reflection
Reflect on your experience completing this partner project.  Was it hard to work with your partner without talking?  Can you imagine conducting business in this way on a regular basis?  What did you learn from this experience?

• Link your COMPLETED presentation to this post

We will begin presenting today if possible.

I liked doing this project! The only part i missed was talking because i like to chat. I have done projects in the past on google slides and they have been super easy. So this project was a blast from the past. No! I would not want to do business this way! I like to talk! I I gained more faith in technology knowing how easy it is to multi task using technology! The difficultly was i talk faster than i type! But i did feel more comfortable suggesting ideas over email!

 2/2/2017 Pictures
Take out your phone (yup, I said it) and find 3-4 fun pictures to post in today's blog post.  You will need to email them to yourself, unless you have Google Drive on your phone.  If you do, just put your pictures in your Drive account & access them from your computer.

Make sure to clearly explain what is going on in each picture -- where you are, who you are with, is it a special event, etc., etc.....
