Thing 17

I am a big YouTube watcher.  I love watching my subscribed videos and I always notice on YouTube all of the tags that all of the people use on their videos.  I also think that when you add a tag to something it helps searching for an item easier, whether it be on YouTube or on a research site.

I see huge potential for these resources in the classroom.  It is a great tool for if you are doing a project over something in Social Studies, you can create something on a tagging site such as "Delicious" and to get to the link faster they can type in "Underground Railroad" and it will take the students to the sites, blogs, opinions they are looking for.  Tagging is also a great thing to just use anywhere.  Even if you are looking up something for yourself, tagging is a great tool that is useful in easy research.
