Good/Bad Website Smackdown

 Good Evening Class. 

For my good/bad website smackdown I am choosing Stock X as my good website and FlightClub as my bad website. You may ask why am I choosing these websites. One of my hobbies since I have been in 7th grade was collecting sneakers and having my own sneaker collection. My older brother got me into sneakers, and as I grew up I always wanted my own collection. Over the years, I have established a sneaker collection that I am proud of. I figured why not share one of my hobbies with you guys and if you are interested in buying sneakers I will try and help you and explain to you why I think Stock X is a great website to use, and why I do not like to use FlightClub. 

Stock X is an online Marketplace to Buy and sell your sneakers at a great price. Comfortable And Stylish With Plenty Of Colors And Materials. StockX is a safe, easy, and trustworthy way to access current culture. StockX is a live marketplace and prices fluctuate based on supply and demand in real-time. As such, once a Bid and an Ask are matched, an order is created and we are unable to offer returns, exchanges, or swaps. You can always resell the item on our platform if you no longer wish to keep it.

Flight Club was Established in New York City over fifteen years ago, Flight Club revolutionized sneaker retail as the original consignment store for rare shoes. Carrying the rarest exclusives and collectible sneakers, Flight Club has evolved from a one-stop sneaker destination, to a cultural hub for sneaker enthusiasts and novices alike.With three brick-and-mortar locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. Flight Club remains the premier source for authentic, rare sneakers.For over a decade, Flight Club has changed the landscape of sneaker retail. Carrying every brand name on the market, Flight Club has evolved from a one-stop sneaker destination, to a cultural hub for sneaker enthusiasts and novices alike. From Air Jordans to Nike to Adidas, and more, they have it all. 

Stock X Rating - 4.2 out of 5

Flight Club Rating - 1.6 out of 5

I have bought on Stock X before and I have never had a problem. Payments were made fast, and shipping was fast also. They also allow you to bid/auction on items that you want to buy or are buying. 

Flight Club is based on what they think the price should be, and there is no bidding. Flight Club is also a bit overpriced.

    Hi Gregory,
    I've used StockX before as well to purchase a gift for a friend and found the customer service was great and that the purchase, delivery, and return went very smoothly which was fantastic. StockX also has a drop down menu which helps customers locate the items they're interested in whereas Flight Club doesn't have the most obvious drop down menu at first glance or clear customer service links which is very worrisome when online shopping on unfamiliar web sites. Buyers are always looking for the cheapest price possible while maintaining quality, so I will continue to use StockX for buying sneakers as they are clearly the more trustworthy website. Good job!

 Good morning,  After reviewing Chapter Two of the Connected Educator it talks about Practice a lot. Practice is a big part of our lives. If we don't practice how do we get better at something? I thought about all the times that I had to practice at something to get better. When I was younger practicing writing out my name, while I was playing sports you would practice to get better at the sport, we practice everyday do make ourselves better. There is always something you can work on. Whether is be work, school, sports, even doing something on a daily basis requires practice. When you start a job, they train you until they think you are ready. Every job that I have had up to date, I needed to train and practice so that I could excel at my position. My parents always told me that nothing is ever handed to you and you always should work hard and strive to be the best. It also talks about Diversity. What is Diversity? Diversity is  the practice or quality of including or involving peo

Good Morning Class,  I n ch apter 5 you will read and learn about how to promote and how to have success in your networking. One term that they point out in chapter 5 is "bookmarking". They define bookmarking as a way to organize the content that you search online an d grouping it together. The content that you search online can include either websites, pictures, and blogs that you can access. Also in chapter 5 they discuss an example of bookmarking and the example that they use is called Dingo. The app Dingo is a very helpful app if you decide to use it, and the brief rundown of Dingo is that it is an app to help you gather information from different websites and store it on your computer. Before starting this class I have never used blogger before, but since I have started using it, not only am I gathering information on different subjects, but I am learning new things from people who have a different stance on the subject than I do. There are many different ways you can ex

 Good Morning,      There are people who set goals to achieve what and where they want to be. Others don't set goals, and sometimes have trouble finding what they want to do and where they would like to be. One term that was brought up was Networking. Now what is Networking? NetWorking is  is  t he exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting . With Networking you not only provided people with your idea on the topic, but you also gather other opinions on the topic. With this it makes you think about how your idea may be the same as the others, or how it may be different than others. We have so many helpful tools now then we did before. We can use these tools and the knowledge that we have we can go as far as we try. As we try and navigate Networking, take some things into consideration and ask yourself is this person a professional and from what background do they come from? From doing this not on
