This is all I am hearing from this video, Stop using technology. I don't think that is the best way to experience life. You can have a good life and still use your computer, phone, or what ever you have. As a video maker myself, I feel this video is making a broad generalization and I see a "real" life as kind of boring. Now, I do think there needs to be a limit but we can't just go away from it. This video is nothing but torture to my ears.

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?
I am going to make a story showcasing my outing with my friend with legos. I have started taking photos. I am going to take some more pictures not only from new scenes but from scenes I have previously taken photos of. I am just going to think of ideas and make them into pictures.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
It is when you take pictures of an inanimate object. Then you alter it and take another picture. Repeat this process until you are finished or get tired. These pictures are put together to make it look like the object is moving. Stop motion animation can be used with Legos, paper, clay, or even stuff on a table. You can create a stop motion video with anything.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?
A storyboard is a comic strip used to plan out a certain project. They are used mainly by drawing a sketch. Storyboards can be used for movies, making a story, video games, and a lot of other things. When I think of storyboards I mainly think of movies because I have seen a lot of storyboards used for movies. They are used for all kinds of movies not just animated.

Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?
I did take my pictures yesterday. I did not enjoy it because it was pretty boring to be honest. I had no fun. I really don't have any a clue why we did this. I guess maybe it is our new unit but I am not sure. I just not that in to picture taking. I wonder when we are going to do presentations. Well, I hope we do them at some point because I want to know how mine turned out

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean really use your brain. What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? Explain.
Google Drive is a place to keep you presentations and activity. Google Presentation is kind of like Microsoft PowerPoint.

Infact,  they are almost the same.
