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:

And, combined with their oral presentations, it's a way for us to easily assess students' knowledge surrounding critical global issues.
