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?

A infographic is a visual image that is used to represent information or data. Infographics show information in a visual way. They work by just showing a bunch of information but in a visual way. What makes a good infographic is focused data and a clear design.

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

I did not go to Homecoming. On Friday since we got out early I went and hung out with my friend and then went to work, Coaches was packed since it was Friday and the Royals game, and then all the BV coaches came in. Then on Saturday I hung out with my friend and worked some more. Sunday we celebrated my brothers birthday and my grandparents and uncle came over and we just had a nice dinner and my brother opened his presents.

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.

If Mr. Bacon asked me one way to make this school a better place it would be to make the school lunches better, the lunches right now are really bad and are too expensive to buy extras, when the meals here don't even come close to filling you up. I would make this change because basically everyone agrees the school lunches taste terrible and are too expensive. I would suggest lowering the prices so people can have more food and wont be so hungry and change the meals a little bit.

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

My favorite apps are Twitter and sometimes Pandora. These are my favorite apps because Twitter is fun to go on and see whats going on with people. Pandora is one of my favorites because I love listening to music.

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 communicate over the internet, its kind of like sending mail except its online. I only use email to check work schedules, other than that I never use email. Reasons people use email and ways they use it is in my opinion mostly for work reasons, my dad uses email all the time to contact people for work. I don't know anything about email etiquette.

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. 

Emerging technology is a fun class and helped me learn a lot about useful things on technology like Evernote, Google Docs, and Blogger. Yes, these tools are really helpful. Google docs are especially helpful because you can be writing an essay or something and you didn't finish in class and you can just go to your computer without any flash drives or anything and finish it at home. Yes, i think these tools will be helpful all throughout high school, Evernote will really hope keeping track of all your sources and Bubbl. will help organize a essay you want to write.

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 don't really enjoy writing. I especially don't enjoy writing for ELA and writing long essays, those are too long and boring in my opinion. I think the ability to write is important because you need to know how to write a lot when you grow up especially for jobs. An example of a time I enjoyed writing was last year in ELA. I was writing a argumentative essay about marijuana legalization, i enjoyed this so much because I was into the topic and it interested me a lot.
