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 do not know a lot about taking photos, but I did take a class for a semester on photography. I know that a camera uses the light to capture a photo, photographers use the apeture and lenses as well. I usually use a digital camera I own when I take photos, or the camera 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 stayed here and hung out with my friends and family most of the time. I went to the movies and saw the Divergent, which I didn't think I would like, but did. I spent a lot of time with my family because most of my friends were out of town. I did a lot of studying for the ACT which I am taking in April. I went to many of my little sisters volleyball tournaments and that was really fun also.

Infographic

Wednesday, March 5

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.

An info graphic is used to show information by using visuals such as graphs, charts, lists, symbols, shapes, maps, and more. By doing this, it makes it easier for the reader to understand the point of the information, and how it all fits together.  In my opinion, using graphics to show information makes it easier for readers to understand the topic, and because it is so colorful, it is much more interesting to look at.

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

I would do an info-graphic because it is a lot more entertaining than writing a paper. Also, i feel like the info-graphic gets the information to you faster than a paper.
