  7. An example of tagging http://flickr.com/photos/cambodia4kidsorg/260004685

  8. Tagging Tips • Use punctuation for spaces (lower case) • Think of unique concepts as two term combinations, rather than a new term. • Standardization helps, but requires maintenance.

  9. The importance of tagging • “folksonomy” • Ask yourself: What words might my students use to find this item? • del.icio.us will provide suggested tags • Tags are searchable

  10. Browsing Tags in Del.icio.us • http://delicious.com/tag • Add the term you want at the end of the URL above. • Use the plus sign (+) to combine concepts

  11. Tagging Shortcuts • Items for a particular audience: • 4doctors, 4kids, 4patients, 4teachers, etc • Items from frequently read journals or authors: • in:jada, in:nyt, in:chronicle, in:agd • Items for people in your delicious network: • for:dentlib, for:tmjchat

  12. Tagging for Your Class • To share this item with the rest of the students in this course, tag with this: • ScienceMTTeam • To send to the teacher for the class account, tag with this: • for:jgotto

  14. Searching

  15. Firefox Add-ons • del.icio.us classic • https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1532 • del.icio.us Bookmarks • https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615

  16. del.icio.us classic • Adds buttons to the toolbar to access your del.icio.us account and to add bookmarks

  17. RSS in del.icio.us • All accounts and/or tags have associated RSS feeds available (Find it at the bottom of the page)

  18. Ideas Around Social Bookmarking • create a set of resources that can be accessed on any computer connected to the Internet • conduct research and share that research with your peers • track author and book updates • groups of students doing a classroom project sharing their bookmarks, a teacher subscribed to their rss feed to see the direction of their research. (FURL - teacher can review and comment on resources that are bookmarked)

  19. Ideas Around Social Bookmarking • resource teacher does a PD event with a group of teachers creates a shared del.icio.us account where teachers can post research and information bookmarks that they gather throughout the year. All members continuously benefit from this shared resource. • rate and review bookmarks to help students decide on usefulness of resources • setup a group tag in order to share educational resources

  20. Ideas Around Social Bookmarking • Unintended learning through the discovery of resources and information shared by others • Share links to current news items that relate to classroom discussions. • Examine the popularity of a web site that a student had listed and examine those who have tagged that resource in order to find new resources. (and perhaps unintended learning opportunities)

  21. Ideas Around Social Bookmarking • Share one del.icio.us account between a number of different subject specific educators or a school in order to share resources with each other. • http://del.icio.us/district6 • Share one del.icio.us account between a large number of educators across a school district that teach in diverse settings in order to create a broad and deep set of resources. • http://del.icio.us/tcapsstaff

  22. Ideas Around Social Bookmarking • Students bookmark on a subject before a lesson (as a reading exercise), then review those sites after the ‘talk and chalk’ part of the lesson. • Students bookmark sites during a lecture, then review during question time.
