Tagging Ideas

Knowledge Tags allow users to create and manage labels (or “tags”) that categorize their ideas using simple keywords. Tags can be used in a variety of ways – conceptual knowledge tags describe procedures, lessons learned, and reflections that are related to the ideas being expressed. Tags can be used to answer multiple choice questions, express levels of understanding of other’s ideas, and reference other’s ideas. They also make it easier to find and track ideas. In Visual Classrooms, users can choose from a list of pre-determined tags and also add their own.
