As expected, I found a lot of current event and technology based tags in the popular tag section. I also found there to be a lot of tags about history, social studies and government and economics. I believe that the high school social studies department could use this site to connect to opinions. Just a reminder: always preview the site that you are visiting in class before hand. Open the web browser before the students are in class and be prepared ahead of time. High school technology teachers could also use this web site when teaching about various technology applications.
There are many advantages of tagging. It sorts through data at quick speeds and brings your attention to new blogs and ideals. However, sometimes the information received conflicts with the tagging credentials. The teacher and librarian need to model how to weed through search results to find the most beneficial information. If you are using this in the library or in the classroom, monitor the students and their search results.
