I really like the idea of tagging and using Social Bookmarking. I feel like I have bookmarks all over the place that I can't located when I want them. I have bookmarks on my home computer and bookmarks on my school computer. But then my school computer gets re-imaged every year, so I have to save my bookmarks and then try to remember to add them back to my computer in the fall. And then I have bookmarks on Explorer and on FireFox. It is just not organized!! This seems to be an answer to my problems! Plus, I can see where it would be a great way for other teachers in my department to share great websites without having to cut, paste, and e-mail them to each other.
I can see one disadvantage being that this is yet another thing that I will spend time on and need to manage. But maybe if I get good at using these new tech resources, I will not spend as much time because they are making my life easier...we will see :)
I also think that it is very important to carefully assign tags to things. I want tags to be meaningful and easy to use. I know that in the "pen and paper world," I have found myself reorganizing things numerous times as I use them more. I really like the idea that it would be easy to alter tags and reorganize things as you discover how you are using them.
