QR Codes Response

I have never really used QR codes, because I do not have a smart phone. However, working at a place that uses FrontFlip (a QR code that allows people to have chance to earn a free appetizer, $3 off a large pizza, etc.) I had seen these codes before. I used qrstuff.com for all of these codes and created each one in a different color. There are songs, recipes, travel links, forums, videos, and articles in my QR codes.

TED: Sue Austin

I thought this video was very interesting because her view on being in a wheelchair is a lot different than the common view. She views her wheelchair not as something debilitating, but as something empowering. The fact that she was able to go deep sea diving was amazing as well.

TED: Candy Chang

I really liked this video because this lady was able to touch the lives and thoughts of people she didn't know in her own community and of people around the world. By creating this chalkboard, she invited people to reflect on their own lives and think about their own ambitions.

Pixton Comic

I wasn't really sure what to do because I have never made a comic before. Pixton, however, made it very easy for me to learn. The website has a lot of options.
