Today in class, I learned how to create my own Google Map and embed it onto my website. The process was simple and I can see how could be a useful tool for future stories. Making a pie chart is also a very simple process that I learned in class and will continue to use when needed.
I received feedback on the first draft of my digital story assignment. This week I plan to revise and make edits on my story. I will also be creating my infographic using Adobe Express.
