             When looking for the website to buy furniture it can be very important to make sure you are choosing a good website. There are many good websites, but some of these can get easily mistaken for a bad website. There are certain criteria's to meet in order to be sure you are on a good website.       For my good website I chose Bob's Discount Furniture. The reason for this is because Bob's is a very well laid out website. It is not overcrowded and it up to speed. Bob's furniture is a secured website. Bob's has a great selection of high quality furniture to chose from. It is also very easy to navigate.      For my bad website I chose Wayfair.

Doing so is known as re-culturing. Re-culturing becomes possib...

      Chapter 5 of the Connected Educator is about using tools to support connected learning. This Chapter starts out by explaining how beneficial it is to use web 2.0 tools. There is also advice on how to find ways to use certain Web 2.0 tools. The author states that "they lay out what you need to understand to use each tool and than offer examples of how to put the tool into practice".       Social Bookmarking, Delicious, and Diigo are all tools used for documenting and archiving learning. Social Bookmarking is a way to categorize and archive the specific content you want. Social bookmarking allows you to be elaborate and connect with friends and colleagues. Social bookmarking can also be known as tagging. Delicious is used for bookmarking and tagging specific websites. By doing this process, you are saving yourself from skimming through thousands of different websites. Diigo is a social bookmarking community. It is similar to Delicious. Diigo allows...
