Journal - What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?

There are both pros and cons to photo editing. A pro would be you're able to make photos look cool and edit them. A con would be you could edit the photo so much to where the photo doesn't look like you and you could give people false first impressions.

Journal – What is your favorite web tool that we have used in class so far this year? Why is it your favorite web tool? What do you like about it? How can you use it again in the future?

My favorite web tool is Prezi. Its my favorite tool because it delivers the same information as a power point but it adds more "flare". Prezi adds movement, 3D backgrounds, and color to any presentation. Prezi really makes your presentation better than it would be with a normal presentation tool.

Journal- What did you do this weekend?

This weekend I went camping with my family. I'm not going to lie, I hate camping. The idea of having to chop up your own wood, start your own fire, catch your own food, and so on really doesn't "float my boat". I'm not a peasant, I want grade A caviar with sparkling cider in a golden chalice, not grilled salmon with bottled water. I'm also really mad I didn't turn up this weekend because I was too busy cuddled up in a sleeping bag with my own misery.

Journal - What makes a presentation memorable? What makes a presentation stand out and not boring? How are you going to make your presentation better than anyone else? How will you make it unique? Explain.

Presentations are not memorable, presenters are memorable. Anyone can have a good presentation but if they can't present it well it sucks. A good presenter can make even a bad presentation sound interesting. Good presenters are funny, interesting,  and keep the audience engaged. I will present my presentation with poise, I will enunciate, and I will keep it interesting.

Journal - What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.

I found the Ted Talk interesting and very informative.  Although I don't completely agree with everything she said in the video, I still believe we are on our phones at inappropriate times. Her speech was exaggerated at some points, but she still provided some pretty powerful points.

Journal - What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain. I love the digital age because I can communicate with my "homies". Technology impacts my life in a number of ways,good and bad. One good way technology impacts my life is that I can tweet so all my groupies can know every single detail of my life. A bad way technology impacts me is that the some crazy groupies look at what I tweet and stalk me. Its hard being this fabulous, but I manage to make it work .
