  Creating a classification scheme wasn't easy, but it works. At the top of my rubric, I placed these categories: content areas, teaching methods, and administrative. Using these three areas, it was simple to group my essential elements under teaching methods, to separate the various content areas into their appropriate subjects, and to place the various means of teaching into administrative: in other words, I chose to group things such as internet classifications into the adminstrative group, not the method. As there is inevitable crossover, I decided to use the tags to group ideas into dual (or even tri) categories when I these issues came up--like we did intuitively in diigo and delicious. I must say that both of these internet 2.0 utilities have proven quite useful already. I have learned much by reading your insights in diigo. If I had to pick one site to stick with, it would be diigo, but it seems to work best only if I would have another group to work with. And i'm not sure it will be that easy to get the adult learners I work with to follow my lead and engage in the learning curve to use the technology.
