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?

It is a graphic visual that gives information through the graphic picture. They are used to give out information.  They are usually used on in commercials and news papers to get the point across to the people they are meant for.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend! If you didn't participate in the Homecoming festivities, what did you do? Share pics!
I went to homecoming with a few friends that happened to be girls, so I guess I had two "dates" to the dance. Before the dance i when to someones house and hung out with my "dates" and then went to homecoming. After the dance is when it became fun. I fell asleep at one of my "dates" house but sadly my other other "date" had to be mean to me while i was trying to sleep. That's my homecoming weekend.

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.

One thing that needs to be changed is the food because the food isn't all that good and there needs to be more choices for us students. Its not that there aren't a lot of choice, there just need to be better choices. The fruit needs to taste like fruit and not like whatever it is.Also, the serving sizes need to bigger because your not feeding a baby, your feeding athletes and students that are growing. I want to feel more full through out the day not starving close to practice.

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 form of communication. I never use email because i forgot my password and don't feel like changing it. People use Email to communicate with others, do business, finish work, and other things that require email. I don't know anything about Email etiquette and don't plan on knowing anything.

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.

I really like emerging tech because all we do is work on stuff that need to be done. The tools we use are helpful and i think it will help me through out my school career and even in the work force. If we didn't use these tools then i probably wouldn't know what to do or organize my thoughts.

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 writing or hated writing. Why?

I do not enjoy writing because I have bad hand writing. with me having bad hand writing no one can read what I'm writing. I never enjoy writing because of that reason and it kind of sucks. the ability of writing is so important because without it no one can communicate and without communication the world will fall apart.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.


this quote reminds me of the time I had to take a final I thought I would pass so I didn't study. So when the final came around I it was harder than I thought. I failed it, so by not studying I didn't do good on the final. What this quote is saying " do everything in your power to get ready for an event and if you don't then you are going to fail."

What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

Research is important because without it you don't know what is happening in the world and what has happened in history. you need to know your topic and some sort of back round knowledge about it too. In high school I have learned that researching topics is the best way to find out information and you have to know that the websites you are going to are reliable for research.

For my global issue in Emerging Technology I have chosen steroid use. I have begun researching the issue and you can find my research questions here.

If i were in my 70's or 80's and I had to complain about kids these days. I would complain that they are too loud and do too many stupid things.

Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain.

My global issue is steroid use in the NFL and MLB. I know that this is a big issue for these sports because they cant stop the use of them and every time they stop someone the matter gets worse. I am look forward to finding out how it is going to be stopped by the NFL and MLB.
