What is an infographic? If you don't know, go look it up. Read about it and then in your own words tell me what an infographic is. What do infographics do? How do they work? What makes a really good infographic?

Infographic-a visual image such as a chart or diagram used to represent information or data.

An infographic can be used to represent things such as the number of people that attended a sporting event, However it is represented through some sort of visual aid.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend! If you didn't participate in the Homecoming festivities, what did you do? Share pics!

This weekend I had a baseball tournament, which consisted of four games on Saturday and two on Sunday. I was unable to attend the homecoming dance because I was at Kansas City Community College at 9 pm for one of my games on Saturday. In this tournament my team went 4 and 2 and we took 3rd place.

Imagine Mr. Bacon has asked you to suggest one way of improving Blue Valley High School to make it a better place for students. Think about the changes that are needed at your school. Pick one change you feel would really make a difference and explain what it is and why you'd make the change.

Blue Valley High School is a great school that doesn't have much that needs to be changed. However there are a few things that could be improved upon. For example our lunches could be longer so we get more time to eat, and teachers should give us less homework with more time to complete it so we can get help with what we need help with and we are not crunched for time.

What are your favorite apps on your phone or tablet? Why?\

My favorite applications on my phone and/or tablet are Google search, because you can search for things and find answers to questions that you have, Snapchat because you can chat up your homies through pictures that you have snapped, and last but not least google maps because I am horrible with directions and i use it a lot to get where I need to go.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?

Email is a way to send messages to people in a more professional way than for example twitter or even text messaging. In my personal life I use email to communicate with my teachers, my coaches, and people I work with because it is more formal than other means of communication. Proper email etiquette is important in order to portray yourself in a professional manner. Some ways you can show this proper etiquette is to use the correct greetings and salutations depending on whom you are communication with, and the topic on which you are discussing.

Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain.

Yes, I think the majority of the web tools that we have used so far have been very helpful with not only this class, but I have also made use of them in a few other classes as well. I believe that I will continue to use some of these web tools throughout high school and perhaps even into college. These tools will continue to be helpful even after I am out of this class.

Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed

I do not enjoy writing. I never enjoy writing. There are no kinds of writing I enjoy. The ability to write things is important so you can write things when you need to write something like for work or school or even to communicate with other people. I do not enjoy writing.
