Family Tree Projects

In the class Emerging Technology, we are completing several different projects about our family. In order to get the information that we needed, we interviewed two of our family members. Then we sent an email to another relative. This was usually someone that you didn't have direct contact to, or lived far away. With all of my information gathered, I then proceeded to make a diagram of my family. This showed who everyone was related to, and how they were related to someone. Using the information and my diagram I made three presentations, a prezi, infographic, and a five frame storyboard. The prezi shows fifteen different family members, and what they like to do. My infographic shows where my family originated, where they live now, diseases in the family, an interesting facts. Overall I thought that this project was so much fun to complete because we got to learn about our families.

Monday, May 5

I agree with this video because people do have smart phones and other electronic devices. I also agree with the fact that everyone is always on those electronic devices and not being out in the real world. They are not experiencing life, other than what they read or see on the internet or social media. I think that people should leave their electronic devices at home when they leave the house, and talk to their friends in person incited of in a group chat. This provides them with more social activity in person instead of on social media. People might lie about how the feel on the internet, but if you are there with them in person then you will actually know what they are feeling. People need to stay of their phones and engage in life with activities and not electronic devices or smart phones.
