Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?

      Yes we have all of our taken and I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. I thought that it was a great and fun way to introduce photography and the whole concept of editing. I think you had us take those photos, so that we could show you using a photo editing site just how much we know about editing photos. Also it used our creative side and we got to show what we can do with other programs!The reasoning behind the photo taking, was probably to see how much knowledge we have of taking photos and I assume we will be editing the photos to get familiar with online photo editing sites.

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain.

        I know only few things about photography, but I think it is a really great way to express oneself in an artistic way. When I take photos, well better yet when my sister takes photos she uses a Nikon professional camera. I am only to look at her camera because it is very expensive and she would probably kill me if I dropped it. I do own a phone with a camera and it is always capturing great shots of the adventures my friends and I go on, or just me.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

          My Spring Break was good and really uneventful, but it was still a nice break from school. My sister came home for a little and we went to Tads snow cone shop, which was amazing as usual!! Besides that I read a lo, I read Paris in Love and Summer Boys, studied for the Ap European History exam, watched a ton of SVU, and generally relaxed. My dad and I sorted threw old boxes for a while which is always entertaining because of old pictures and old art. Spring Break was super nice though, because I got to go shopping a lot and visit with old friends and new friends, plus I got new glasses!

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean use your brain. What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What impact can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

   I think it is important, because there are many different learners and not all of them retain the same information reading facts. The images allows for visual learners to gain the dame information that any other learner would, but feel confident in their knowledge. Not only does that help get the audience's attention, but it keeps them enthused about what they are learning. It adds a touch of imagination and a new perspective of how you can view various amounts of information, and be able to relay that information to other people.

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.


I would rather make an infographic, because it gives you the information you need in a fast and effective manner. Also a three page paper doesn't really scream creativity or excitement to some learners, so with infographics you can include all types of learners. It also brings design, as well as new online tools that can aid in our learning technology and using it to better our learning. An infographic allows you to show other parts of your knowledge, not just that you can write well like a three paged paper would, but rather allows you to have free reign of creativity. Papers express the feeling of being bored, based on my own opinion as a student.
