  Tagging is really important to creating a useful, searchable database. Please read these over and make any suggestions for additions, edits, etc.
  
  This is a list of suggested tags, but please feel free to continue using those you are familiar with. Of importance: PLEASE ADD VSL as a tag to anything you put into this list. Also, I have created several LISTS that you can select as you bookmark with the Diigo bar. Someone could then go immediately to a list to see related sites.
  
  You will notice a lot of overlap in these tags--better too many than too few, so people can cross-reference in different ways.
  
  SUGGESTED TAGS
  
  adult-ed = research articles or sites with a focus on pedagogy for adult learners
  adult_learners = sites with activities for US grades 6-12 (ages 12-17), community college, immigrant students, adult beginners
  academic = secondary school, college and university students, academic subjects (usually at more advanced levels of language study)
  activities = sites where students can engage directly in drills, video-making, tests, exercises, etc.
  content-based = content focused ESL/EFL sites; generally more academic content, e.g., the sciences, history, etc. (specify the content area)
  culture = sites with activities relating to culture clash, conflict resolution, cross-cultural understanding, etc.
  listening
  literacy = very basic beginner, e.g., learning the alphabet
  speaking
  reading
  writing
  vocabulary
  grammar
  other_languages = sites with support in one or more languages besides English; bilingual ed sties
  teacher = sites and tools that serve as aids to lesson prep (e.g., TeacherTube); sites that deal with pedagogy, particularly with a practical focus
  testing = test makers, rubric makers, and other kinds of evaluative instruments; sites where students can be tested online
  thinking = sites with a cognitive learning focus, or with brain-teaser activities
  literature = sites where literature may be read or written, including poetry

  science [we might want to divide this up into different sciences]
  programming = applications that teachers might use to create exercises or activities for students, e.g., Hot Potatoes, RubiStar, Survey Monkey; places to download programming languages or learn how to use them, how to write HTML
  tools = applications, either online or downloadable that are used, for example, to record (like Audacity or PodOmatic), to write (like Google Docs or Open Office), to make videos (like Movie Maker), to draw illustrations (like Gliffy), etc. Both students and teachers might use these for different purposes. [We might want to further divide this category.]
  young_learners = sites appropriate for preK-6 (ages 3-12; please specify age range if appropriate for a particular group
  project-based = sites where extended project-based learning is supported,
  e.g., WebQuest.
