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?My partner and I both got all of the necessary pictures taken. We did not have any trouble at all with it. I didn't really have too much fun with it, but it was certainly something different. I think you had us take those pictures because they are all different but can all be edited a different way I assume.

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 do not know a whole lot about photography, and consider myself a novice in the subject. I have never been too fascinated by photography. I solely rely on my smart phone when I need to take pictures; however, my parents have two professional cameras that they enjoy to use for special occasions. I usually only use a higher quality camera at sporting events or while on vacation.

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 superb!! Unfortunately I was unable to go anywhere this Spring, so instead I had a crucial STAYCATION. Over the course of those ten days I worked at Picklemans (OF COURSE!!) a lot! Another bad part about Spring Break is that I got very sick and didn't really eat much for four days, but after that I was healed and healthy again. On the 19th I celebrated my big 17th birthday, when I finally became responsibleand mature of course. My 21 year old sister Bailey was home from college in St. Paul, Minnesota, as well as my nineteen year old brother Tucker from Manhattan. On the 21st we celebrated my brother's 20th birthday and that was a lot of fun. THAT SUMS UP ANYTHING IMPORTANT THAT HAPPENED OVER MY SPRING BREAK... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STAYING TUNED!!

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
">An infographic is a tool used to draw one's attention as it gives information of a particular issue. An infographic is simply a way of giving information to someone whom you want to inform or sway the opinion of. The point of pairing graphics and information together is to connect the information and the graphics together and to make it easier for the recipient of information to understand. The result of this can be increased understanding of the subject, created opinions by readers, and more informed subjects.

;">If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself<">I would much rather write a three-page paper. I am not very pro-infographic as of right now because I feel that while it CAN be visually pleasing, it is only successful with topics filled with dates, stats, and pictures: none of which apply to my very opinion-based global issue. I feel that an essay is an easy way to follow along and understand and become informed of the global issue that is being discussed. Quite frankly, I find papers to be more interesting than infographics.
