This week i set up a flickr account I began the process by setting myself up on yahoo and from there I led myself to flickr. I began to use it it was straight forward and I felt it was simple to use.
I Then started adding photos and tags. I decided to add photos from college work etc. I also added tags relating to college work. I also uploaded a photo of my college crest.

I hope to keep adding photos to my flickr it seems to be good for storage of photos and videos.

A day without social Media
A lecturer for one of my modules challenged me to a day without social media at the time I was unsure if I would be able to complete it but i decided to give it a go.
As the day started it seemed simple I didn't find it challenging at all until the afternoon. Because I use Facebook to organise a lot of my group meetings and share information about research I had done or my group members had done I found it challenging. If i'm honest I may have looked at Facebook once throughout the day, the temptation had been killing me but after it I was mad because with no surprise there was nothing essential that I had missed. Although taking into consideration my slip up in my defence I didn't look at snapchat(Which is a major deal for me) or twitter etc for the entire day.
Although it was a good experience to try a day without social media it is sad to see how much we depend on it. I am going to encourage my friends to try a day without social media as a way for us to realise just how much we depend on our social sites.

Week 4 Diigo
In week 4 we set up a bookmark button on our browser.
The process was problematic for me as it wouldnt work on my safari browser for admin reasons but I changed to google chrome and it worked perfectly. I feel that this tool will encourage me to bookmark websites and it will be easier to file the websites which I like to use online.
Diigo has many features including being
1. a Highlighter
2. Taking notes
3. Screenshots
4. Searching
5. Collaborating and using groups
6. Bibliography
7. Sharing
All these features are very useful in the life of a college student that uses many different websites for many different modules. Using Diigo we can collaborate all our information together online.
