Introduction to Tagging:

Effective Searching of Online Resources

SLC Camp Chicago 2012

Agenda

• What is tagging, and how does it help me as an educator?

• What is the process of tagging?

• What does it look like in action?

3

Who is in the room?

4

About 33,400,400 results (0.25 seconds)

47,300,600 results

5

The Problems are

Time

Alignment

Rigor

6

What is the Solution?

Common Core State Standards LRMI Tagging

7

Why Common Core State Standards?

8

Common Core of State StandardsEnglish Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies,

Science &Technical Subjects

AND

Mathematics standards

• Are aligned with college and work expectations; • Are clear, understandable and consistent; • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge

through high-order skills; • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards; • Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all

students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and

• Are evidence-based.

9

English Language Arts/Literacy Focus

• A focus on results rather than means

• An integrated model of literacy

• Research and media skills that are blended throughout

• Shared responsibility for students’ literacy development

10

Mathematics Focus

• Standards for K-8 and High School

• Standards are focused, coherent, and rigorous

• Rigor means that instruction should include a balance between conceptual understanding, skill and procedural fluency, and application

• The 8 Mathematical Practices, part of the CCSS, should be taught and measured

11

Turn and Talk

• What learning have you engaged in with the Common Core?

• How have you been working with the Common Core State Standards in your current position?

12

Why the CCSS will make a difference?

•Defines proficiency consistently across states

•Simplifies teacher preparation through a common instructional target

•Provides opportunities for collaboration across states

What is the Solution?

Common Core State Standards LRMI Tagging

14

Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI)

• Metadata: a card in a card catalog–Provides a common

language• Use in classroom• Standards alignment• Other

–Enables us to filter and search online resources

15

Teachers search for resources for their students

• Need to find a resource• Open search engine

Before After

Keyword search, evaluate, keyword search, evaluate, keyword search, evaluate……

Targeted search: CCSS.Math.Content.8.NS.A (identify numbers that

are not rational), online video, 10 minutes, PARCC

Let’s Practice

• Fill in shaded boxes on your LRMI Tagging: Practice and Application1. Topic2. End User3. Age Range4. Educational Use5. Interactivity Type6. Learning Resource Type7. Alignment Type

Turn and Talk

• First, share your ideas for the tagging of this video.– What were the similarities?– What were the differences?

Adding in the Common Core Alignment

• http://www.corestandards.org/ • Aids in identifying standards-

aligned content electronically– Dot Notation

23

Calibrating• Allows us to clarify language and process• Does not imply that consensus is mandatory.• We will calibrate a Math example and an ELA

example– Independent

• Everyone tries to tag the item

– Collaborate in like content • Stand up and Find someone who did the same content• Share your thoughts on the item tagging

24

Thinking about the Process

–Find a different partner to discuss the process of tagging• What was intuitive?• What was a challenge? How did you solve it?

25

Putting the process into action
