My favorite web tool that we've used so far in class is Prezi. Prezi is my favorite web tool because it provides you with many different background themes, and the transitions in the Prezi are really cool. The thing I like about Prezi is that there are many different options for themes, fonts, colors, and transitions. You can add or delete different bubbles in your Prezi. I think Prezi makes a presentation ten times more interesting to watch.

Journal- What did you do this weekend?
Friday night I went to a party and it was really fun. Saturday morning I woke up and went to go ride, the weather was perfect for it. I made sure to ride outside that day because the weather was so nice unlike on Friday night. After I rode I went out to lunch with my grandma at Cheesecake Factory. I love my grandma a lot and any time I get to spend with her is awesome. Then, Saturday night Claire and I went mudding in her Jeep out in Belton with some friends. The mud was pretty dry though so we didn't get her car too dirty which sucked. Then on Sunday I went to the Chief's game with a bunch of friends and it was fun to be there when they won!

Journal - What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
After watching the Ted Talk yesterday, I didn't realize how much of an impact technology really has on people till hearing some of the things she had to say. I thought a lot of what she said was accurate and some was not. I thought her whole idea on being "together alone" was very interesting and I never thought of that when I would be on my phone with family or friends in one room. The only idea that she had that I didn't understand was the connection-isolation. When she said that it's bad that kids nowadays want to text instead of talk is bad, I agreed with her because when children grow up using nothing but texting to communicate they don't learn the basic social and communication skills they need in their everyday lives.

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 not go to homecoming because I was out of town. Even if I was in town I still wouldn't go. Personally, homecoming is pointless. I was at a horse show riding all day everyday while I was gone.

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.
The technology in this age has really evolved and grown bigger and stronger, and is continuously growing to get better and better. I personally like all the options of technology that we have today because they are all helpful in different ways using technology as a resource for something is very reliable. The only reason why I wouldn't like all the new technology is because it sometimes gets in the way of more important things in life. Sometimes I find myself procrastinating with technology rather than doing something that actually needs to get done.

Journal - What do you know about infographics? What do you know about them? What are their purpose?
All I know about infographics is that they are kind of like a chart representing data or information. You can have infographics for a lot of things but they probably have to have some kind of percentage of the data or information given. Their purpose is to show the ratio of something to something else.
