Kingston, TN Coal Ash Spill: Infographic
Posted by Anna Roman in AMHIST-002 ona. What went well?
-I think my group's whole process went really well, we all split up the project equally, shared our finding, and helped each other with the different topics as well. And our finished product is also really cool and informative.
b. What did not?
- There really isn't anything that didn't work out well, I think we made our point and we made some good comparisons so people could really understand how big this disaster was. We completed everything that was needed to and the whole process was actually really smooth.
c. What would you do differently next time?
- I might possibly use a different way to visualize the disaster, instead of a slide with words and pictures maybe find another way to express what happened. Maybe even something more creative.
d. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics -

Our collaboration with the information we found and the creation of the visual itself went well for our group. We didnt really have any problems or disagreement.
b. What did not?
Nothing really went wrong with our project it was swell.
c. What would you do differently next time?
Next time i would look up more information about my topic. Just to have more sources to pull from. I would also organize our bibliography differently.

I think our project was creative, attractive, different, visual,smarter,concise and accurate. I am not as sure about the transparent aspect of our infographic but i do know that it meets all of the other requirements. Our idea was originally supposed to be different but I think it turned out well. I especially like the way we mixed our information in with the way our design, I think that is one the best parts of our infographic. The only part of our project that was a bit difficult is the way we created it. Since we made it in photoshop we had to make sure that it did not turn our too pixelated when we uploaded it.A day in the life "Somalia"
Posted by Evan Cohen in GLOBAL-002 on A day in the life of a Somalia Child

Somalia has one of the most troubled histories of any “modern” country. After World War 2 the country gained independence from Britain and with that fell into communism relatively quickly. This communism eventually led to a dictatorship that would ravage the country economically. Fed up with the countries state of affairs a Civil war began between the countries people and its government. This war disrupted food distribution between the country and further damaged the already staggering economy of the country. Hundreds of thousands left the warring country and what remained at the end of the conflict was a very torn apart country devoid of any true rule system. Piracy is openly committed by some of the poorer members of the country as a way to supplement supplies that its country is lacking. What effect this has on the countries children is massive.
Children can attend one of 722 classrooms set up throughout the country. A child can go to school for the initial 8 years of grade school and may progress into secondary school if they so choose. Children are taught geography, math, and English as well as agriculture and Arabic. Lessons last 36 to 40 minutes. Somali has seen an increase of 27% attendance in recent years. Higher education is largely private with options in the hundreds as to where to attend.
Health care in Somalia is somewhat slippery. One in 10 children will die in childbirth. 70% of the country goes about un inoculated which is reflected in the average life span of a somolian being 47.
One special problem facing the children of Somalia is the Prevalence of child Soldiers. The U.N has fought with Somalia several times over its refusal to stop the use of Child Soldiers. The children are conscripted at age 8 and are deployed around age 12. Somalia uses these children as disposable attackers in various conflicts. Something disturbing to note is the U.S funds the Somalian military and recently has had to take steps to assure they were not the ones funding the children.

I'm Lucky To Be Able To Remind Myself I'm Loved
Posted by Freda Anderson in STORY-001 onSo, I'm not going to say who because the person told me not to. But a certain adult in this school gave me a really great present for when I go to college. They knew I might not be able to afford a laptop next year for college. So they gave me this like... special pen thing... it records the notes that you write down with a laser... thing? I'm not sure really how it works, but basically you write with this fancy pen on these notebooks and it digitizes everything you write into the pen, even drawings or charts or graphs. Then it can be put on a usb and put into a home computer... and then somehow it recognizes writing and can transfer it into typing and stuff. It's pretty amazing and good if you don't have a computer. It also records voice if you miss something a teacher is saying. It also has like... a drawing almost of a scientific calculator on the inside pocket of each notebook that like, you can use with the pen and then it can give you the answer through the pen? I dunno it's pretty weird and I'm still trying to figure it all out but, it's pretty great. I just am so grateful though for this gift and adults I have met while I've been at this school and the connections I've made with them. I feel very lucky to have gone to this school and have so many people who are here looking out for me and making sure I'm cared for. It's really wonderful. When I get upset, or am going through a rough situation, whether it's trivial but seems like the end of the world at the moment, or whether it really is horrific, I feel like I have always been lucky enough to remind myself that I am well loved. I think a lot of people love me in my family and my families friends, and it would have been that way wherever I went, but only at this school would I have gotten teachers like this.

a. What went well?
-What went well was the amount and quality of the research we discovered. Each of us was given a certain part of the project to research and each of us found high quality reliable resources.
b. What did not?
-Because most of us were doing individual research and it was all put together by one person, while presenting we were a little unorganized. However by the second time we had everything together and could tell our story.
c. What would you do differently next time?
Maybe during the making of the infograph everyone would be a little more part of the creation process.
d. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics -
Be Concise
Be Visual
Be Smarter
Be Transparent
Be Different
Be Accurate
Be Attractive
Be Varied
Be Gracious
Be Creative
Which of these areas did you excel in? Which were not so well represented? Why do you think some elements of design were easier or harder to include in the end product?
I believe we excelled in being concise, visual, smarter, different, accurate, attractive, varied, and creative. Maybe not so much in the transparent and gracious. Mostly because I am not sure how to be gracious in an infographic.
