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?

Infographic

I have learned that info graphics can be used even in professional use. I did not enjoy making the info graphic I have made one before and didn't like it then. I feel like it is a lot of unnecessary work then just making a paper I would rather type a paper instead. I don't see myself making another info graphic unless a teacher assigned one. I used Picktochart to make my info graphic I think it was easy to use which is good. If I had to make another info graphic I would use Picktochart again I think it was the easiest to use and navigate.

An info graphic is a type of way to share information. They are used for spreading information in a fun way to get people interested in the topic. The best kind of facts in an info graphic are statistics. You want to capture the readers attention though with colorful displays and a fun way of presenting your information. Info graphics can help get your point across to an audience by capturing their attention. If you give the reader a research paper of something along those lines you could really lose their attention an info graphic will get their attention by presenting the information in a fun and easy to read way. A way I could use an info graphic in my classes is being able to find one about my topic and learn about it very quickly and easily. To sum it up an info graphic could be useful for captivating you readers attention with a good way to present your information. I have used info graphics before to learn information for a paper and I have always liked how they give me the information in a engaging way. In conclusion info graphics are very useful and are good at giving information to people without losing their attention.

I like Lucid Press a lot better than Canva I think it was a lot easier to use an sign up. A pro of Lucid Press is being able to figure out how to use it very quickly. A con of Lucid Press is the plan documents that you have to use. A pro of Canva is you get more unique and exciting documents to use. A con of Canva is the user interface I think it was very confusing how to get things done. It took me a while just to figure out how to make a text box and type. The nicest documents for me were on Lucid Press I was able to upload pictures for making my own documents. The most free features were probably on Canva you got more templates to use there. Overall I like Lucid press a lot more than Canva overall experience and the user interface is important to me and Canva was lacking it was very difficult to use. Lucid Press in my opinion is much better than Canva.

If I could have a business it would be a store that sells video games and consoles. I be located here in Kansas and I would also have a website where you could buy goods to. I think it would be really fun to sell games and gaming devices it would be sort of like a Gamestop.

2/13/17 Weekend

I did not go to Sweetheart, I did not attend the Southwest game, but I did go paint balling. I went paint balling with all my friends at Martin City Paint Ball. It was for Drake's birthday it was so much fun we gave him some welts on his back when we fired at him. Afterwards we went to Martin City Pizza and stayed there for a while it was a lot of fun. I am defiantly going paint balling with them again it was a lot of fun. I got shot a few times during the games but I also got four people it was a great time.

It is not as bad as on Saturday but this is a welt Drake got on his arm in has healed a lot since then

This is Ethan when we were at the pizza place

Current Event #2

2/5/2016 - ET Course Reflection & Personal Report Card

1. Do you have all of your assignments turned in?  If no, what is your plan for completing them?
2. Are you receiving "5's" on all daily blog posts.  If no, what are you missing? (Fix what is missing & let me know when you would like me to re-grade your post)
3. Check your Current Event score.  Did you receive a 10/10.  If not, open up your Current Event & determine what you are missing.  Now, explain to me what you omitted & how you will ensure you receive full points on the next current event.
4. Overall, how do you feel you are doing in Emerging Technology class.  Is the class hard? easy? 
5. What have you learned so far this semester that you did not know prior to class?

I have all my assignments turned in. I have two assignments that are a 4/5 I'm not sure what I did wrong I looked back on them and they looked good. I have a 9/10 in the current events because one of the 4/5's was the current event. I will put more effort into the current event next time, but I answered all the questions required and correctly for that matter so I'm not sure what happened. Overall emerging Tech isn't to hard of a class and I have learned about different social bookmarking platforms and different ways to present projects. I was hoping to learn about new upcoming tech a bit more though.

2/9/17 Kids these days

Kids these days are disrespectful towards their elders. They wouldn't know quality family time if it slapped them in the face. Their music is terrible it is loud and disrespectful. Their technology it is to much they have their iPads and their fancy phones, back in my day you wanted entertainment with technology you would have to sit around the radio. They don't even have conversations anymore they text each other or snap champ or whatever it is. We need to go back to a simpler time when people talked to people and not their phones.

2/6/17 "Collaborating Remotely"

It wasn't hard working without talking. I would not want to do this on a regular basis but it was't that hard. I learned that there are many ways to communicate without actually talking to one another. For example typing in a shared google docs, or over text, or typing in the PowerPoint we were working on, or email, and many more. Overall there are many ways to communicate without actually talking to the person involved.
