How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

I am halfway finished with my infographic. I don't think that I will be ready to embed it on my blog by the end of the hour today because I still have to add some information in, and then I have to put finishing details in. I think I have used my time wisely because the time that I did talk, it was about my infographic.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

We collect information in Google Docs before we get started on a project because then all the information is in one place. This makes it easier to do a project or make  a final draft because then we don't have to keep searching for information while we are working on a project. Also it makes it easier to put it together quickly because all the information is in one spot.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?

An infographic is an easy way to display and read information. Some benefits of an infographic are being able to see all the information on a topic in one spot, being able to read the information easily, and being able to see the information visually with color and pictures. Some things that are put in an infographic are pictures, color, step by step processes, interesting facts, icons, and tips.

It makes typing it faster and easier because all of my information is in one spot and easy to read.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

Over the weekend I did not go to Sweetheart. Instead, I went to the Winter Jam concert at the Sprint center Friday night, hung out with friends, Saturday night, and watched the Superbowl on Sunday. The Winter Jam was really fun because we were all in a suite, and had snacks and drinks in there. On Saturday a whole bunch of my friends and I went out to eat at Mi Ranchito and afterwards we went bowling and miniature golfing. Bowling was really fun because I ended with a higher score than Ruth. On Sunday I watched the Superbowl, and ended up really disappointed in the Broncos. It ended being up a really depressing game because the Broncos lost by over 40 points.
