3/31/17 NCAA reflection

By competing in this class competition, I've learned that it is all a guessing game. Prior to this class, I downloaded the NCAA app and was put into a group of friends and family to compete for the best bracket as well. The only team I really sat down to watch were the Jayhawks and after that I learned that your bracket could be all done for just after a single game. I used Word to make my bracket and Google Sheets to make my spreadsheet.  On word I learned how to put shapes together. I also learned that you can copy, paste, and flip one side that you already completed to the other so that you don't have to make it all again. I hadn't used Google Sheets in forever, so everything we did was kind of new to me.

3/21/17 Spring Break

This spring break I went on our annual Cabo San Lucas trip. My family has gone here for the past five years and have stayed at the same exact resort. We absolutely love it. Although, this year had bit of a twist to it. Now that my oldest sister Lauren has a different spring break as Lindsay and I do, Lindsay somehow got to bring her boyfriend Kyle. I really missed Lauren, but still had an amazing time. For the majority of the time I layed out on the beach because my goal was to get very tan. Not only did I lay out; I swam, banana boated, and went on a boat ride. The boat ride was one of my favorite parts because they anchored the boat and we got to snorkel, kayak, and paddle board. Another big highlight of the trip was taking a water taxi down to Lovers Beach. On the way down they gave us a tour around the famous "Scooby Doo" rock, and we visited some sea lions. Then we got dropped off at Lovers Beach for an hour and got to explore that.

3/2/17 Infographic peer feedback

Sydney W: Her infographic is about dance, which I love. In addition, she has a ton of pictures that go along with her stats which makes it 10x more interesting to the viewer.

Lauren S: Lauren's infographic is very organized and neat. The  icons she got from piktochart really tied everything together.

Miranda O: I don't know really anything about softball, so after reading her infographic I learned many facts about softball that I never knew before.

Kenneth: His infographic is very relevant in how it is about the costs of going back to school.The colors pop and he has a ton of statistics and graphics. I like the graph that shows how much of each supply a parent buys.

Carlie: Carlie's infographic is one of my favorites because it is so visually pleasing with the color scheme and visuals. I loved how she started with the  quote "Without music, life would be a mistake".

Overall, I really enjoyed this assignment. To me, making an  infographic is really fun because you get to pick a topic you're interested about, learn about it, and get it out there in a fun and creative way. In addition, Piktochart was very easy to get the hang of. It showed you step by step how to make an infographic and what they should include on them. I like how we got the chance to look at other people's infographics to see what they have been working on, and give positive feedback.
