Public Sticky notes

During the assignment, students are at first skeptical that they will find anyone with similar interest. Usually it is not till they find a “Gem,” or exciting link, through someone else’s tags that they see the value in the exercise. More importantly, the assignment hammers home the ways in which social bookmarking can help them become part of a network of scholars, collaborating albeit indirectly at times.
After a few weeks of my stressing the importance of effective tagging and annotation, however, students are often a bit disappointed with the disorder they see in the tags of others. I remind them, “That’s right. Stay off the streets. It’s two clicks from chaos out there.”
