Presentation difference

There are so many different presentations out there its hard to keep track of them all. There are many that are very simple and straight to the point, but others have the ability to do so much more but are more complicated on how to use them. One presentation I want to start using is Prezi. I have an account but I have no idea how to use it! I can get the main parts but other sections are very hard to understand. That is my only issue with Prezi. I love how you can have music along with it and how it zooms in and out of everything and it flows very smoothly. I did a project for 9/11 and Pearl Harbor but I still never learned how to use it. I wrote the script and my partner did most of the creative work. Prezi seems like a very nice site that I would love to lean how to use for future presentations in my class.
One presentation that I am done with is Google Presentations. Yes it is easy to use and they can look good, but I need something new. You can add affects and videos and lots of pictures. But what I'm tired of is that its too straight forward. It looks too simple for the kinds of presentations our teachers are looking for. I used to get graded on creativity but you can only do so much with Google Presentations. Everything is old and outdated. I want something more exciting! I want something that will keep everyone on their toes to where my presentation is going to go next.

How Schools Can Use Social Media

A lot of the time kids will complain on why social media is not accepted throughout the school district. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, are all frowned upon using during school. Most of the time these sites are banned. You are no longer able to see the front page of the website. The school blocks theses sites for a reason, but is their reason valid enough? There of course is worry about online bullying and students posting inappropriate things, but what about all the other kids who just use it for good purposes and that have never been a problem with it before?

I believe sites such as Twitter and Facebook should be allowed at certain times during school. I'm not saying they should be used during class time when the teacher is talking or when you are told to actually do your work. I'm stating that they should be allowed during a study hall or homeroom. A lot of times kids will sit bored in study hall with no  homework and they do not have a book. I see no problem with going on Twitter during that time. That time is spent how you want to work and if you decide to go on twitter during school, its up to you to decide if you want all that homework after school and it will be your responsibility to get it all done. Most teachers have created Facebook pages (like for speech) and they want students to join the account. Or they might even tweet last minute information for games or practices. If teachers are going to use it as a source of information and communication, of course it should be involved in school.

Moderating Pictures

  Point is a very difficult thing for anyone to learn, even if you have a natural talent. Thats why I wanted to choose this picture because even if you can't see her face or any of her technique, she still looks beautiful. Also this was just a very simple picture and you could have the opportunity to do a lot to it, or just add simple decorations.

It doesn't look like I used much on this picture, but if you look into the details, you can see that her muscles are more in depth and you can see details much easier. I also put red streaks all around her not only because the red looked great with the contrast of the black but also because it represents a lot for a dancer. The color is the color of blood which if you are on point shoes, thats what your feet will be doing if you don't take care of your feet correctly. It also means that dancers are strong and powerful.
