Survey Reflection

5/4 Website reflection

For the most part I enjoyed using Weebly. It was easy to use for the most part and ended up looking a lot more professional than some of the other websites I saw coming out of Wix. The only thing that would have made it easier would be that if it gave you more freedom on where you wanted to put images. The website made it so that you could only put the images in certain places and I also couldn't find a way to rotate and image so it wasn't perfectly upright. Overall in the future if I needed to build a website I would definitely consider using this again.

Websites 4/25

I have never created a website before because I simply haven't had the need to. I chose to use Weebly because I have seen other people use it and it looks professional on their website. My topic is my group of friends that all hang out and do outdoor activities like hunting and fishing. I chose this because I have a lot of pictures and this is something that I am passionate about.

Favorite new Apps Chart 4/18

Overall I did enjoy this project, it was easy to finish and was very relevant to the class and it could also be beneficial for students to find apps that they can download on their phone that they would enjoy. I would recommend that following classes do this project for the previous reasons and they might find an app that they will like.

Name of APP	Name of Student Presenter	What you found interesting about the APP	How will you use the APP?
Smart Tools	Lillian	All of the different tools that you can use your phone for.	If I have a project around the house and I don't want to go get a level or one of the other tools.
My Fitness Pal	Sal	All of the different workouts and the meal plans that you can do to benefit your health.	I could use it to make sure I am eating right and doing the right workouts to benefit my health.
Post-mates	Katie	That you can get food from a lot of places delivered to you.	When you have a party or a gathering and you dont want to deal with getting food
Swift-Key	Zach	You can get a new keyboard that isn't the plain white one	So I can make the Keyboard on my phone look cool
Socratic	Tucker	How you can get answers for your Homework.	To help me with homework that I don't know how to do.

Outdoors Forum

Google Forums 4/13

I have only made one once and only for fun, but I have used it multiple times to answer other peoples poles. Another online service that I have used is Straw Polls. I have even seen the school use google forums before. Overall i thing that it is easy to use and can lead to some fun conversations and topics.

App 4/10

Presentation

4/4 APPS

I use apps everyday on my phone. If there wern't apps it would take really long to get to what you need or you would have to log into everything you need or want on the internet or from email. It would also make getting to certain programs longer and harder to organize and find them.

My Weekend 4/3

This weekend I went to my sisters dance competition which I didn't really enjoy but I wasn't there for that long so it wasn't that bad. After that I went to work for 5 hours, it wasn't that busy because of how bad the weather has been lately. And then Saturday nigh I hung out with all of my friends.

I learned how tedious the spreadsheets can be and how much time it can take to make a good looking spreadsheets. I stopped following the tournament after KU lost because the tournament is rigged. I previously knew how to use Excel or sheets before and this only renewed my knowledge.

TV Series to Watch

One of my favorite TV series is Hawaii Five-0 There are 7 seasons and they are filled with action packed shows. The show is related to NCIS but with better scenery. One of the best parts of the show is that they have full immunity so they can basically do whatever they want, this makes the show go faster and more interesting.

Name of Article: AMD’s Ryzen CPUs are Here to take on Intel

Source and Link to the Article: Kotaku

 For years Intel has been seen as the main processing unit for many computers, many people may have never even heard about AMD. AMD is another processor company like Intel but over the past 12 years’ market share between Intel and AMD has gone from 51%-48% to almost 83% of the market share going towards Intel. If you’re into computers though you would know that unlike Intel AMD is mostly used for budget PCs or for their graphics cards. But you probably haven’t even heard about Ryzen unless you’re a PC gamer or enthusiast.

AMD is hoping to catch more of the consumer and business market than what they had before. The problem with this is they don’t have the money that Intel does for advertising. With a low advertising budget, they hope to make some money out of the gaming population. The average pc gamer upgrades parts their parts to their PC to some degree every two years. This means AMD has a big opportunity to sell products. Unfortunately, most PC gamers care about raw power and performance out of their computers, Ryzen CPU’s range from $200-$500 (cheaper than other 8 core CPU's), lower power requirement, and offer high boost clocking. Even with these impressive stats Intel still houses some more powerful CPU’s than these new CPU’s. Another problem is that they assume that people will want to buy a new processor,

My Dream business is a Pheasant farm. It would be located in the middle of two giant fields but close to town somewhat so that I could get publicity.

Kids these days 2-10

All of these kids never go outside and they are all fat and lazy. Also all they do is eat potato chips and drive around in their flying skateboards. I have never seen one of those kids without their phone and if they do go outside they always have some sort of technology with them. Also most of them eat crap all day and get full off of that so they never eat their diner.

Picture Services (photo Edition Reflection)

I used two services pic monkey and Pic Collage. Over all I think Pic monkey is a better tool but it requires you to pay for it actually be useful. If you don't pay you can only use the site for a week and also you cant use all of the services at once. On top of that your pictures are watermarked if you don't pay. Despite these issues the site offers many great editing tools and is fairly easy to use. Pic Collage is a little harder to use than Pic Monkey and also doesn't offer as many services. Lastly when I tried to log on to pic collage today I couldn't get on to the site so it doesn't have the most reliability.

Others Infographic Reflection

Jackson- I really liked the topic which was about cars. It was very informal about leading car companies and top cars.

Clayton- The topic was good putting KU against K-state but the infographic was bad because he only did football and everyone knows that football doesn't matter its basketball. 

Brandon-  Brandon chose a very unique topic, but it was still good. He showed people how to make and infographic with his own infographic. 

Gavin- Gavin chose a very good topic and included nice graphs including one that was very good showing the shots made from different spots. It had nice images and it looked professional. 

Grace- Grace's was very colorful and she chose a interesting topic. I wasn't surprised that most people would rather go to the beach but the infographic was very colorful and looked professional. 

Info-graphic Reflection- For the Infographic project I leaned how to use Pictochart. It was fairly easy to use and easy to make a good looking Infographic. I felt like if I had to make this with word or Photoshop that it would take a lot longer and wouldn't look as good. I could possible use an Infographic at school for a compare and contrast. overall the Infographic was easy and fun to make.

This weekend I attended that school dance. I went with my girlfriend and another couple to dinner at Fire birds. We had steak and and the dinner was really good but was kinda expensive. After dinner we went to the dance. The dance wasn't anything special it was like all of the other ones, although we did stay longer than any other dance that we had gone to before. Even though it wasn't anything special I still had a great time.

Collaborating Remotely 2-26

Communicating and working with a person without talking was very hard. It could have been a lot easier if you use Skype or something like face time. When working on this project I found that me and my partner wouldn't work together as much as go off and do our own part of the the project. I think our presentation would have been better if we were able to talk and plan out the presentation instead of just doing it.

Words For Teenagers 1-31-17

I completely agree with this guy, the world owes you nothing if you wanna live in a nice house and drive a fancy car then you should stop waiting for the world to hand it to you and go out there and earn it. Some people just want to piggy back on the government or on others when they should stop whining and go out and get a job and work for all of those things that they want. Too many people just want things handed to them in life. The people who work hard also get fed up with these people because they have to give tax money for the government to pay for the people who don't want to work to get free money and items like cell phones.

• Do you have a different understanding of Social Bookmarking after reading this article

yes, this article told me about how social bookmarking isn't as valuable as people once thought. Also how many people pay to get a link on a big bookmarking site and never getting recognition. 

• Do you think social bookmarking is a helpful & beneficial tool

yes and no, the old way of bookmarking is very helpful in letting people find websites quickly and websites that you have used before. But now a days browser like chrome come in with features for bookmaking making sites almost worthless. 

• Did you learn about any new social bookmarking sites that you would like to start using   I didn't know that some websites pay to have their website published on a social bookmarking site. 

What is Social Bookmarking

A Social Bookmarking service allows users to add, annotate and edit a book online. The services help users share and edit pieces off work with others. Some popular sites are Evernote and Pintrest.

My Weekend

This weekend I went Hunting Saturday and Sunday. On Monday we went up to the marsh to see if we could try to sneak the geese that were on the water overnight. When we got there we were originally disappointed because we didn't see any birds on the water, but after a second look I saw two mallards hiding back in a tiny cove. Unfortunately by the time I had gotten in to position they had swam off too far and when they got up they were too far away. Also When we went on Sunday we were very disappointed because there wasn't a single bird.

1/17/17 Prezi Reflection

• Which tool do you think is easier to use? Why?
• PowerPoint because I'm so used to using it and I can get a project done a lot quicker.
• Which tool creates the more effective presentations? Explain.
• I think that they are about the same, PowerPoint could get boring after viewing so many of them but I feel like Prezi can get too distracting with all of the animations. 
• Is there a specific presentation time when one tool would be better than the other? Explain.
• I think Prezi would be better for a project or presentation that is more laid back like a get to know you but PowerPoint would be better for a presentation that is more serious or get to the point or for a background where you want the audience to pay more attention to you than the screen.
• Which tool would you choose to use the next time you create a presentation?
• Depends what the presentation is, if it is more laid back then I would probably use Prezi for the presentation. But if its a more serious project than I would use PowerPoint.
