=Brenden= == Welcome to my 6th-8th Grade Technology Portfolio. This is a place that I will upload my technology projects, and reflect on my learning with technology. == === My favorite thing about working on the computer is making messing around and going to cool websites. ===

When I grow up I want to be pro athlete or a coach because I love sports.
Your Diigo Link

My Digital Footprint
If someone looked at my website list on Diigo, they would think I liked sports because I have a lot of links to sports websites. Besides the sports links and game links, they might think it is kind of boring because I have a lot of links for school on there. They will know who my favorite team is because if you look at one of the first links it says Michigan link for NCAA. I am on the computer a lot and I find new things every day. Maybe I will get more that they will be interested in.
