Summary
This isn't so much of an article as it is a SUPER awesome resource. I suggest to everyone involved with social media for a company. It is basically a super easy version of all the adobe products. It lets you create really cool memes and place text over images in a really beautiful but clean way. I suggest it to my co-worker at BYU Independent Study when she got hired on to do social media, and it is literally all she uses for her posts. It comes loaded with a lot of icons and text styles. You can also use it for creating infographics because it has those features. It's a beautiful, free, and quality product. I definitely would highly recommend telling the class about it just because it is such a great resource for so many things.
Use to role
As mentioned above, I've been using canva for years and suggesting it to people to use for social media posts, so this is useful for quick and beautiful content.

This week I have been working with a director to edit and complete a commercial that I helped come up with and write. The skills I have been learning about communicating with him and his tips for working with actors have been create to prepare me for creating videos for this class. I've learned how to audition and communicate with actors. I've learned that you should usually avoid white because the eye is drawn to it first in video. These and other skills I plan to apply while working on the videos to promote our Grandma communication videos.

Our group's campaign is focused on helping grandmas and grandchildren reconnect across the technological divide. As such, I went home on Thursday evening and spent some time just chatting with my grandma to get in the mood of kindling those relationships.

This week in class we all took the color personality test. I took this test many years ago when I was younger, so taking it again as an adult was extremely interesting and beneficial to me. After I found my own color, white, my next thought was to guess my husband’s color. I guessed correctly, and we had a very insight discussion about our strengths and weakness as in terms of our colors. Throughout the week I found myself thinking back on what I learned about myself and about him when I was deciding how to react to situations. Understanding more about each of our personalities helped me to understand my own feelings as well as his.

For example, it states "Those who oppose widespread adoption of nanotechnology, genetically engineered foods, and human gene patenting will appreciate FOE’s clear stance and advocacy."
