Thanksgiving Break

My thanksgiving break was good! I spent time with family on Thanksgiving. We went to my uncles house at 12 and ate turkey dinner. Then we went home and got everything together and went to the plaza and spent the night with all the family at the Intercontinental. We watched the lights from the room then i went to dinner with my boyfriend and his family. I did not travel to another state during this holiday. I did participate in Black Friday and we went to Lulu Lemon. It was a lot of fun but thats the only place we went because my family doesn't like fighting the crowd but Lulu was having good sales so we had to go. I did also attend the state game this weekend. It was a very fun but cold time. Very sad that we didn't get to win but our team had a fantastic season and i am so very proud of them and all the hard work they put into this whole season. Overall my 5 day weekend was fun and also much needed. I am writing this from home today because i am not feeling to good today. But still wanted to get my post in. I will be back tomorrow. :)

Website

I liked building this website. It was easy to use and gave me no problems. I enjoyed it a lot. I would defiantly use this website to make another website in the future. I liked how easy it was to use and didn't have any glitches. One thing that bothered me was that you can change the main background but not the little one where the writing goes. Mine is black and i couldn't change it and i didn't like that but other then that it was great. I would defiantly recommend this for anyone that asked where to make a website.

Apps

I use apps a lot. They have such a wide range of apps its crazy. From the weather app to the old trivia crack. I don't want to be dramatic I could live without apps but its just a more convenient way to access things in a timely manner. Most app can be accessed through the internet there just a cool and easy shortcut. My life would not be much different maybe just a little less convenient :)


The Homework App

Presentation on Globel Issue

I enjoyed learning about my global issue. I picked something that I was going to like because if I didn't then I would not have enjoyed researching it and doing all of this on it. If I did this again i would do the same topic because I think that there is a lot of abuse amongst people from drugs and alcohol. The tool that I liked the most was just google power point because I am very familiar with it and its easy and it looks good to my eyes. it doesn't glitch and its very organized and has so many options. That is what I like because if not my anxiety would have sunk in and I would have been unorganized and that wouldn't have been good. There are many ways that you could have taught web 2.0 tools. You could have done it by researching anything approved by you that interests us. Or maybe not use all of the tools in one project break it up and do different activity's that sum up to using all those tools. Overall I did not think this was a terrible assignment but I would not want to start it all over and do it again.

Drug and Alcohol Presentation

What makes a presentation memorable?

As sad as it sounds drug and alcohol abuse is more common than you think. It will open some eyes but also show people not to turn to substance and or abuse those things. Mine has a lot of statistics and it shows the exact numbers. I am going to make this stand out as much as I can by being passive about it and really explaining how it can really effect you negatively. A lot makes a presentation memorable. Use eye contact, be passive about your topic and also have good information. 

10 Things that would make a good presentation

1. Not be nervous when presenting
2. Know the material well
3. Make eye contact
4. make the presentation look appealing to the eye
5. Dont look at the screen to much
6. Have a good personality
7. No paragraphs
8. Use images to describe
9. Keep it simple to understand
10. Sound happy to be there

Royals World Series

Game 5 was honestly crazy. I fell asleep from the 5th inning until the beginning of the 9th. When they scored to tie the game it was crazy good luck. I got up and went to the TV downstairs that everyone was at and cheered with. Once it finally got to the 14th inning they scored 5 more runs and I knew that we would be winning the world series that night. Once he threw that final pitch I freaked out in excitement. All I wanted was to be there with all the players. That was defiantly one of the most exciting things I have ever seen on TV. I don't really ever watch TV but when the royals are on you know that I am either there watching them or watching it on TV. Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals on the big win.
