Social Bookmarking Project

1) What's another way you can organize and store information on your computers?

2) What have you learned from researching the above topics? What do you know now about those current events that you didn’t know before?

3) What are other social bookmarking apps/websites?
4) Will you continue to use social bookmarking?

1. Another way to organize and store information on my computer is using a Wiki.
2. Researching the above topics, I learned different things I didn't know about. Now I know the actual progress of the virus, Ebola,and the legalization of Marijuana in different states. I realized that there are many different types of tensions in middle-east countries, that Twitter, Instagram, and Vines can be educational tools, and that there are actually laws that protect children from bullying.
3. Other social bookmarking websites are Google Bookmark, Pinterest, Pearltrees, Bibsonomy, and Digg.
4. I will continue to use social bookmarking to collect information for my school researches. I will save the websites, so that I can visit them quickly, without losing time searching the web.

My Holiday Break

Over the holiday break my host-parents went to Disney World. Unfortunately, I couldn't go with them, instead I stayed with my local coordinators and other two exchange students in Wayne. On Christmas day we exchanged presents and then we went to a party in my local coordinators' friends' house. There was a huge Christmas tree and, under that, a huge amount of presents, which were all for two little girls. I was so jealous. I never had such a sweet childhood.

On New Year's Eve I stayed home with three friends, without parents. We played table-games, talked and ate a lot. It was not like my usual New Year's Eve in Italy but I lived the moment, and I had fun. Going through the holiday without my family was sad, and I missed them very much, but the past Saturday, after my host-parents came home, we went to New York City to have dinner with my mum! We were glad to see each other again after a long time, and, also, she gave me an iPhone 6 as a Christmas and Birthday present. I can't wait to see her, my family and friends again when I go back to Italy.
