Diigo Questions


  1. What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds? Reply to this post with specific ways, websites that can help you, and anything else you would want to add.


You can organize your computer, email, favorite websites, blog posts, and RSS feeds by using tags to organize everything. You can put a tag on your computer that says "Family Photos" and that can be the main place you find all your family photos.  Diigo.com is a website that uses tags to categorize websites that you bookmark on the website. Using Tags is a very good way to organize things that you are looking for such as emails, blog posts, favorite websites, RSS feeds, and things on your computer.

Social Media From Sandy

Social Media From Sandy
I was very lucky during hurricane Sandy. I had my power for most of the storm. I only lost power for about two hours when the storm first hit. I saw some sad imagines of the shore line, and some about the towns close to mine.

Pros to use social media 
  • Used to raise awareness for donations, shelters, and other things what the community is doing to help the community. 
  • Used to raise money for things families need.
  • Used to tell people what to do when and after the storm hits.
Cons to use social media
  • People can take advantage of the donations by taking things they don't need.
  • People could fight for the things they need.

      My Summer

      I did a few things this summer. One of the main things I did was go to soccer practice. When I went on vacation the place I went was go to Seaside Heights, New Jersey.  It was my third time going down to Seaside for a week of my summer. When I went to Seaside I mostly spent my time at the beach. I also went to the boardwalk a few times too. I had a lot of fun this summer!
