Advantages and Challenges of Tagging and Folksonomy

ADVANTAGES OF TAGGING AND FOLKSONOMY

Tagging takes away the decision-making process of choosing the right category and risk the possibility of ending in a poorly defined sub-category. Tagging allows you to include associated concepts without wondering whether you have categorized the item in the correct folder or not.

Applying structured taxonomies is frustrating because some items do not fit comfortably into any category. This l…

hanks, Ann. I haven't had much time with this because I am teaching two classes and participating in "23 things on a stick" to learn more about web 2.0 tools. One of my online students started a NING so that got me going. There certainly are some familiar faces here!

Ann, this is exciting. My presentation at AASL is on Designing Online Learning. I would really enjoy communicating with you. What courses do you teach? I am semi-retired which only means I do not teach full-time. I have been teaching in the Professional Development Studies program at Rutgers University since last fall. I have visited the Stout web site and greatly admire the program. Will you be attending AASL this week? Marjorie

Thanks for the comment about the ICCA video, Ann. I really didn't do anything, though. Animoto.com is extremely easy. All you do is upload your pictures and choose your song (yours or theirs), and the computer does the organizing and rendering. It's ready in less than five minutes. It's free unless you use more than 15 pictures. Joyce Valenza shared the site at ILA during one of her sessions. It really could not be easier.

Ann, communities are hard to establish, especially if you're just working with single classes. I leave a discussion thread in place for ongoing collaboration in the d2l environment, but it doesn't go far.

I'm more hopeful for the e-learning group on Classroom 2.0 (another NING that you can now easily join because you're a member here). When folks go through 5 classes together they build deeper bonds. (Both Datta Khalsa and Kay Lehmann are former classmates from my first masters program.)

See you online!

Great to see you online Ann! I think you'll like the Ning environment. The software is robust (and free). I chose this space because Joyce has done such a good job at pulling together the key community I'm connected too: library media specialists.

I'm hoping to leverage the content at the http://21cif.imsa.edu site to energize a social community and kindle that self-sustaining communication makes a group work.

I've also got an e-learning and online teaching group on another ning called Classroom 2.0 It's been a slow grower and is aimed at providing some community for the certificate program I'm advising at Stout.

See you online!
