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?

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.  They are like charts that present very complex information.  They use bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs, and that makes a good infographic.

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

This weekend I went to Worlds of Fun with my friend Marcus, and we had fun riding all the rides, and we rode the new one, also.  The new one is called Steel Hawk, and it is a pillar that goes as high as the Mamba (which we also rode) and it spins you in circles letting you see the whole park.

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.

Since I haven't been in this school that long I really don't know any changes that have to be made, I really don't.  I guess the thing I would say is to make the mobile homes inside and just extend the school out that much, because it will get annoying when it becomes winter to go out there.

What are your favorite apps on your phone or tablet? Why?
(If you don't have a smart phone or tablet, what are you favorite website you visit regularly.)

My favorite app on my phone is 9GAG because it is a website that people submit helpful or funny posts to and other people go through them and mark off which ones are acceptable to make it to the front page, and it is so popular, that there is a new post on the front page every minute or so and it can be very helpful at giving you life hacks or making you laugh at funny things and it is a great way to past the time. And it is also a website on the computer if you don't have a smart phone.

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"?

An email is like texting, but for computers and it is free and you have multiple websites to email from.  I never use email.  People email because it isn't instant like texting is so you don't interrupt a meeting or something.  People email with multiple websites, suck as Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, and more.  I have no idea what "email etiquette" is.

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 think that some tools, such as Bubbl.us is a very useful tool, and the Google docs and drive are also very useful, but other things like Evernote aren't that useful because they can be replaced by the Google Chrome's bookmarks, which is much easier to use than the ever note, and they are free, unlike Evernote, which has a premium account option.

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 like writing when I can write what I want.  I like to have a format and a topic,  but be free on what I can do in that topic to write about.  I enjoy fictional writing the most.  Writing is important because you need to be able to describe things when you're in a job.  I enjoyed it when we were told to write about weather and how it described mood.
