Step 1: Discuss Tagging Policy
Tagging can get sloppy – spelling errors, verbs v.s. nouns, etc.
You probably noticed that about my tag stream. This can make trouble
down the road if you want to publish your resources to a web site using
an RSS. So, come up with a few standard tags. But don’t get bogged down
– you’re not creating a formal taxonomy, rather it’s a folksonomy.
Also, people can add whatever additional tags they want so they can
remember the item as well as a description.
If you want to understand more about tag strengths and weaknesses, I recommend the following articles:

"Most of the resources can be used in KS1 and KS2 but some do lend themselves to the upper age group and above. The aim is to provide high quality resources that can be used in stand alone literacy lessons, can form the basis for a whole literacy unit or can support literacy units that you already have in place. With the many book based activities I would advocate using the book alongside the digital resource. "
