Website

• Take a moment to reflect on your experience building a website...
• Did you enjoy the assignment?
• Would you design a website again in the future?
• What did you like most/least about using Wix?
• Would you use a website building program again in the future?

I kind of enjoyed the assignment, if we had to do another one I would be okay with that. Wix was a very easy website to use and it was free. If I had to build a website in the future I would probably use wix.

Thanksgiving Break

Blog Post: Tell me about your Thanksgiving Break... did you spend time with family & friends? Did you travel over the holiday? Did you participate in "Black Friday"?  Did you attend the State Football Game?  Tell me all about your 5-day weekend.  Also, how hard was it to get up this morning? :-)

For Thanksgiving Break I went to Florida and I went to the Nascar race on Sunday in Miami, Florida. While at the race I went to the Coca-Cola Tent and got a signature from a driver and went to the pits to see all the cars. When I first got into the pits they pulled my favorite drivers car out in front of my and I got a good picture of it. Then I headed south and went to Naples, Florida where some of my family was and I spent time with them. I didn't participate in Black Friday, I stayed a my uncles house to watch football. I did not go to the football game because I was out of town. Coming home was hard going from 80 degree weather to 20 degree weather and an iced over car. Getting up this morning actually wasn't that hard.

Applications

 How often do you utilize applications "apps" on your phone/tablet to make your life easier or more convenient?  Can you imagine life without "apps"?  How would your daily life be different if "apps" did not exist?  Link your app presentation to your blog when finished.

I don't really use apps that can make my life easier or more convenient on my phone that often. The only app that I use to do that is Photomath and that doesn't happen much at all. Life without apps in all like games and other things would be very different from some but not for others. Adults would go back to how they lived before they had a phone that couldn't have apps and children that grow up in today's society would have to change up  a lot of their life style. If apps didn't exist I would probably focus more on my studies. 

App Presentation

Global Issue Relection

• Did you enjoy learning about the global issue you selected?
• If you had the chance to do this again, would you select a different issue? Why/why not?
• What tool/activity was your very favorite from this project?
• Symbaloo, Evernote, Mindmapping, email, essay, Inforgraphic, presentation etc. - please explain in detail.
• If we did not focus on a global issue to learn Web 2.0 tools, do you have a suggestion as to what type of theme/topic you would prefer to research when learning these tools?

Not really, I don't like having to do research on topics like this, I find them very stressful at times. If I had to do this again I would probably do the same topic, this is a nice topic to learn about and there are a lot of resources to find information on for it.

My favorite was probably Symabaloo because I used that program last year and got to know how to use it. Symbaloo is also a great tool to use in your personal life to keep websites you use organized.

I don't really have a preference of what we have to research when learning the Web 2.0 tools.

What makes a presentation memorable

What makes a presentation memorable?  What makes a presentation stand out from all the rest?  How will you make your Global Issue presentation memorable & stand out for the students in this class?

A presentation is made memorable if you really convey your message to the audience well, and the people spread the information that you shared with them to more people and your topic becomes well known. A presentation that would stand out from the rest could be one that makes the original presenter someone very important to the world, and their topic possibly becomes part of reality. I will make it to where my message is really conveyed out to the audience and people may take some action to help with ending Wildlife Extinction.

10 components to help with a presentation

2. Don't read off the screen the whole time
3. Don't stumble around the screen 
4. No hands in pants/shorts pockets
5. Make eye contact with the audience
6. Don't fill up the whole slide with words
7. Speak loudly and clearly
8. Engage the audience
9. Use some pictures to help convey your message
10. Don't write paragraphs on the slides

Game 5 World Series

I was very hype for the start of the Royals game last night. But after the first inning, I lost some hope of us winning it right there. As the game went I started to regain my hope because I remembered it usually takes till after the third time around the batting order for the Royals to heat up, and my theory was proven right once again last night. But that was after I fell asleep watching the game. I woke up and saw that they won, and I was very angry and happy at the same time. I am very happy that the Royals were able to pull it off, I hope we can do it again next year.
