Ken Fuller on 13 Oct 09Any idea what "folksonomy" is? Where did the term come from? Why would it be important to this group?

William Russo on 16 Oct 09I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?

Ken Fuller on 27 Oct 09"I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?" Oh, no not at all. I was thinking down the road when we get teachers hooked on Diigo. Let's say Teacher A wanted to search through his schools' group for ELA content. If the group added ELA_ or Gr8_ as a prefix that might simplify his search. So, in this scenario the provided tags would serve as a base and the prefixes would allow for faster more refined or focused searches.
