I am in the group about social tagging. My specific question is how can we use social tagging in the classroom? How can you use social tagging for students to collaborate on research and the creation of artworks? What possible uses does social tagging have besides using it to create images in wordle? Can you find any lessons or ideas already posted on the Internet? What have other educators already tried? What did they find that worked, and what did not work?

    I think that a social tagging project can be given to the students and each of them could be assigned a list of same terms to research online at different tagging websites. Then each of them would bring the information into a group meeting and then discuss the different ways they found the information. Then the final process would be to create their own social tagging website for the topic.

    In our class book. The author discusses the sites delicious and diigo. He talks about how individualized instruction works with social tagging. The example he gives is that he tagged a bunch of website to students names, so that when those students looked at his bookmarks they knew which websites would work for their individualized research topics by seeing their names as the tag.

    Here are some social tagging/lesson plan sites...

    In our Interactive Media class, students are creating projects on the concept of "Shaping Meaning" using shapes, shadows, and silhouettes.
    Check out our class silhouette tag on Delicious to see everyones' addition to the group research.

    Julian C posted this link to an online game that the Brooklyn museum runs with their online collection. It made me consider some basic ways the tagging could be used in the classroom.

    There is a very helpful website on Education World that lists resources and information about social bookmarking.
