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 web tool that we have used so far is Prezi. I think that Prezi is a great way to present text, and keep it entertaining for the audience. I can see myself using it in the future when I have to present a topic to an adult audience. I like its different themes that suit certain topics, I like the transitions between slides and even how it saves online, so you can present it anywhere you are.

Journal- Tell me about your weekend, what did you do?
On Friday, I went to the game, even though it was freezing and raining the whole time. I left at half time because I couldn't stay any longer. On Saturday, I went over to a bonfire, and we roasted some marshmallows. Halfway through the night, the fire started going out, so we had to try and keep it going.

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 when the presenter projects his voice and uses eye contact. If you look around in the audience, and do not just stare at your power point, it will capture the audiences attention. If you make flashcards or have a few notes in front of you, it will make the presentation way better. Another idea is to project your voice. If you talk loudly and confidently, it will make the audience interact and listen to your presentation much more.

Journal - What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.
The Ted Talk that we watched yesterday was very relatable. It was supporting the theory that eventually, the newer generations will not know how to communicate face to face. I found it very accurate, I know people who are not great in person, and are much more comfortable over text. She said the cause of this, is because people are hiding from each other behind a screen. Even in high priority situations, people will pull out their phones to check social networks so that they will not feel alone.

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.
I enjoy the digital ages social media. I think that it is a great way to connect with your class outside of school. It helps to get to know more people that you may have not known before. School is starting to get more technical as well. Many classrooms are beginning to adapt the uses of computers and more advanced technology into the subject. However, the new technology is moving very fast, and is hard to keep up with.

Journal - Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.
This weekend was Homecoming weekend. So on Friday, my friends and I went to the homecoming game. On Saturday, I got ready for the homecoming dance at six. At six, I went with my group to take pictures and eat dinner. At eight, we went to the actual dance and stayed until ten. After we left, my group came back to my house for the after party. On Sunday, I watched football and did homework.

Journal - What do you know about infographics?
Nothing. I have no idea what they are. I am guessing that it will give the viewer some kind of information, and maybe have pictures, or some kind of graphic to look at.
