Web 2.0 Tool

Forget everything about any other Phys Ed program and sign up for Daily Fit Log. DFL doesn't only store data, but it teaches physical educators different ways to promote health and fitness programs for those around them. I would definitely use this program for my Phys Ed class with Mrs. DiNapoli. Iwould use this program to keep track of my fitness and promote better healthy habits for myself. This would help me be as healthy as i can possibly be. I would also use DFL to learn about new things about Physical Education and further improve my knowledge on being healthy.

10 things to consider for career minded students

The article was very informative and was actually very helpful. It shared with us that your online reputation can determine how you are judged by your future boss or recruiter. They also state to be mindful of what you post as it can be offensive to others. I agree with this being that many people can be disrespectful and annoying on online sites.

         My favorite restaurant is La Havana 59 located on 110 Moonachie Ave in Moonachie NJ . They  Cuban cuisine such as fried plantains, Cuban sandwiches, pork, and steak. Their food is always freshly prepared and delicious. Their waiters are very comfortable to talk to and they always do their best to ensure our visit is great. Visiting La Havana 59 with my family is always fun and we enjoy spending time together there.
           My favorite dish from La Havana 59 is their Cuban steak sandwich. It is stuffed with tomatoes, thin cut fries, lettuce, pickles, and a big piece of steak. I order it almost every time I go there and it always satisfies. I also enjoy their signature flan dessert. It is a custard dessert smothered with caramel and topped with vanilla ice cream.
          La Havana 59 is my favorite restaurant because it reminds me of the time I visited Cuba. The food and the atmosphere really does bring back memories from when I was at Cuba. If they closed down, I would go to the Rumba Cubana. It is another Cuban restaurant located in North Bergen that also serves quality Cuban food. In all, I highly suggest anyone who enjoys quality Cuban food to visit La Havana 59.
