I spent many years using bookmarking and tagging to create auto generated nested indexes in printed and on-line publications, so the concept makes sense to me. This could be a great time-saver when searching for sites I use in the classroom.
Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages? Yes I think it's a great improvement over just putting sites in 'Favorties' on one PC or having a printed reference list of wwws like I have now. I think you do have to be careful that you don't get overzealous with it as too many tags for one bookmark might not be helpful anymore.
What is important to think about before assigning tags to bookmarks or other Internet content? I will have to be consistant with my method of labeling, organizing names, subjects so I don't confuse myself! I see this as a great resource for our department to collaboratively create a list of useful web sites - we will just have to first determine how we should categorize the information.
Your experiences out in the "real world" have given you an excellent set of skills for your classroom. It's great when practical applications can be made for some of the concepts here.
