Hi Leelah, nice job finding and posting resources on Diigo! One issue that I noticed is that you tagged this and some other resources "BWG organic search" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" (Notice there are no spaces). While this may seem like a minor distinction, the purpose of asking students to use these specific tags is so that anybody in the course can easily find all the resources related to organic foods by simply clicking on a common tag. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Also, I noticed that you bookmarked several articles about organic food, but I don't see that you bookmarked any general search engines for kids as requested in Assignment 7 - Part 2. Thanks

Another thing I noticed is that because you are using spaces in your tags some of the phrases that you want to tag, for example "pros and cons of organic" are getting split up into several smaller tags. The issue with this is that it creates tags that don't have much meaning, for example "of" or "and". The best way to group a phrase as a single tag is to put quotes around the entire tag, like "pros and cons of organic". Other ways are to put underscores between words, like pros_and_cons_or_organic. And a final way is to not use spaces and to vary the capitalization, like example ProsAndConsOfOrganic.
