This set of slides was used to introduce a process for online resource creation by a team of Middle School Science teachers in our district. This is part of a larger effort to move toward engaging and free and/or inexpensive digital resources. This move will also take us away from major textbook adoptions in the future...

4. TAGS:
A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or
term assigned to a piece of
information. This kind of metadata
helps describe an item and allows it to
be found again by browsing or
searching. Tags are generally chosen
informally and personally by the item's
creator or by its viewer, depending on
the system.
