I am currently working as the Director of Technology at a PS-8 school in Newport, RI. Yesterday, Dede taught us about edtags in a conference that he moderated for AISNE. I'm now experimenting with this to see if I can use it to extend a project that I have started with my students.
Edtags.org is a website for educators to share and discover education-related materials. We hope that you will:
connect with people sharing similar interests
discover relevant materials that may have "eluded" the traditional card catalogue search
store and categorize your favorite bookmarks
What is a bookmark?
A bookmark is anything you find on the Web with a URL (web address). You may also
turn your own files into bookmarks by uploading them to Edtags.org.
This page explains the layout of our bookmarks.
What is a tag?
Tags are keywords that describe your bookmark. You should add tags
to each bookmark you save to make it easy for you and others to find.
This page lists the most popular tags on the Edtags.org site in ascending
alphabetical order. The bigger the tag, the more times it was used to describe
a bookmark.
Upload documents, images, etc. Wondering what to do with your exemplary course paper?
Want to publish your work quickly and easily to the education community?
Edtags.org allows you to upload almost any type of file to store
privately, with your friends, or with the general education community.
Connect with others!
When an Edtags member saves something that piques your interest,
click their photo or username to read their profile.
If you share similar interests, add the member to your "friends" list
to easily access their public bookmarks.
