Tagging

=Tagging=

Why
Tagging can be used to organize information by any number of user defined conceptual categories. A well-created tagging system creates a taxonomy of a website or sets of sites that allows information to be defined relative to other information in a non-exclusive way.

Asking students to tag their pages invites them to participate in creating the collective knowledge base that is an educational website.

First Method
The first way to tag a page in wikispaces is to add the tag(s) in the "Tag" box when creating the page from scratch.

Second Method
The second way is to add tags after the page has been created. To do this,
 * 1) go to the page and click on the drop-down to the right of the "Page" tab near the top of the screen.
 * 2) select "Details and Tags" from the drop-down.
 * 3) This places a details and tags box at the top of the page.
 * 4) Click "edit" to the right of "Tags".
