Thing 17

In this post, we were to discover the usefulness of tagging things on the internet. Some of us may not realize it, but we use tagging almost everyday! In the social network, Facebook, when we upload a picture, we have the option to "Tag Friends" in the photos. We use the same basic principle when tagging websites according to their content. On the website, Delicious, it is a site that allows bookmarks and tags to all be in one place. As a future educator, i found that this tool could be very useful not only to me, but to my students as well. I could seach easily for lessons, blogs, or information about a certain topic that we are discussing in class that week. For my students, it would be a great tool to look up information and find connecting sites on their topic that they are researching. I think that teachers can collaborate easily with this tool and share sites they find interesting and useful. I can definitely see a place for this kind of site in the classroom.
