3/31/17 NCAA Reflection
By making a bracket in excel I learned new tools that I have never before used in an Excel Spreadsheet. In the past I have filled out brackets but I did not fill out a full bracket this year. This is partially due to the fact that my bracket never turns out well. I followed KU's run in the tournament this year. I was hoping to see them in the final game this year because of the amount of talent they had on the team this year. I had never used google sheets before completing this assignment. I learned how to use a new alternative to Microsoft Excel. After this assignment i also learned that I prefer to use Excel over Google Sheets.

Blog Post 3/30
I never get out anymore & need ideas for great some movies or a TV
Series to watch in my free time. What is the best movie(s) you have seen
in the past year. Is there a TV Series that I just HAVE to see? What
is the genre of the movie(s) you are recommending (I don't like
horror...). Convince me that your movie(s) and/or TV Series suggestions
are ones that I should see immediately, but don't give the plot away.
GO! :-)
I have seen a lot of good movie this past year. My top pick would have to be La La Land! The reason I love this movie so much is because of the amazing songs performed in the movie. The movie follows the story of two people in LA that are trying to follow their dream to fame. The TV shows I recommend are Parks and Rec, Grey's Anatomy, Stranger Things, The Crown, and The People vs. OJ Simpson. None of these shows are scary, so you should enjoy them very much! The Crown is a Netflix original that tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom. The drama follows the challenges she faces throughout her early rule. The People vs. OJ Simpson, another Netflix Original, has been my most recent watch. I got so invested into this show that i finished the 11 episode series in 48hrs! The show follows the famous OJ Simpson murder trial, and gives insight to the experience through the lawyers working the trial. If you like watching a legal drama unfold, you should definitely give this show a watch ( You will learn so much more about the trial!) .

3/21/17 Spring Break
This spring break I stayed home in Kansas. Although I would have rather been on a tropical vacation like the rest of my classmates, I still had a lot of fun with my family. My mom planned many fun a activities for us to do. First, my family played bowling and bocce at Pinstripes. My mom and I also went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown before heading out for a traditional Irish dinner with my entire family. On the last day of spring break my family and I went to Top golf. I really enjoyed this experience, even though I am not a very good golfer. Later that night my mom,sister,and I saw Beauty and the Beast. This was my favorite Disney movie as a child, so I really enjoyed getting to see a different adaptation of the story.

3/7/17 Photo Editing Reflection
I used the websites befunky.com, pizap.com, and fotor.com. Each website had a free trial, which offered many different filters to edit my photos. Each website was easy to use and helped me edit my photos quick and easily. Fotor had an older platform, so i wasn't as used to using such a dated website. Be funky, however, seemed to be very new and was easy to find everything I needed. Pizap was the only website that i was able to make a collage with multiple pictures.

3/8/17 Infographic Peer Feedback (Absent)
1. Katie B: I loved how she use pictures to talk about her topic. Her info graphic was very organized and nice to look at! Also, the font she used was really cool!
2. Maddie B: Maddie's topic was diabetes. I liked how she kept her color scheme consistent throughout her info graphic. She also did a great job using visuals to help portray her message.
3. Lillian D: Her topic was on the top 3 national parks in the United States. This was a very interesting topic and Lillian did a great job not using to many words. She added many cool charts to put her text in, which made her topic even more interesting to learn about.
4. Will B: His topic was comparing and contrasting Sony and X Box. I think Will did a great job keeping his theme throughout his info graphic. The colors really popped and made his topic really fun to read about.
5. Olivia D. : Olivia researched whether dark or milk chocolate is healthier. Her topic was very interesting and honestly made me very hungry. Her pictures were a great aid to the facts she presented and made sure not to over power the reader with information.
My thoughts:
Overall I feel this assignment was a success. I think using piktochart.com, iwas able to explore a new way to relay information that is actually intresting to look at. Althogh it took a while to creat, the final product is definitely worth all of the hard work. I love having my information neat and organized and this is great tool for me to use to organize information I'm given on in a school setting.
