Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?

I did get all my pictures taken yesterday, and I did enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt. I liked this activity because you had to think outside of the box in order to find things that matched the description. I think you had us take those type of pictures so we could be familiar with the different types of pictures.

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain.

I don't know anything about photography except for the fact that it involves taking pictures. When I take pictures I used to use my digital camera, but then I got a phone so now I use the camera on my phone. I own at least two digital cameras, but I don't know what type they are. I don't really use my digital cameras now because I find it easier to develop and send pictures when they are on my phone.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

Over spring break I went to Denver. While I was in Denver I went to an Imagine Dragons concert, which as really amazing. Also when I was in Denver I watched a lo of movie because my dad's friend found a website where you can watch recent movies that have come out and movies still in theaters for free.  The day before we left my family and I went bowling. This was really fun because I made it a little bit of a competition between me and Ruth. We played two games, and on the first one I beat her by over 20 points, and then in the second game I beat all my sisters because I got 109 points. The second half of spring break I watched a lot of Law and Order SVU with my sister, and went shopping. I also went to swim practice, which was everyday but Sunday at 8-10:30 in the morning!

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean really use your brain. What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What impact can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

The significance of an infographic is to show readers or viewers information in a new way. If someone doesn't learn very well with just reading a two page paper, then they can look at a infographic, where information is separated by category, and there is pictures and color.  The point of pairing graphics and infographics together is to provide another way for information to be seen or read. The statistics are not written like they would be in a paper, but rather they are put in a graph with different colors, that is easy to see. The impact that it can have on a reader is that they can take in a lot of information at once without being overwhelmed. They can do this because everything is separated, there is color, pictures, and icons that all help the information be read easily.

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.

If I had to write a 3 page paper or create an infographic I would rather create an infographic. I would rather create an infographic because then it is more colorful and easier to read than a long boring paper.
