tag games: using tags in professional and language development
DESCRIPTION
This workshop empowers participants to utilize tagging in professional development and language learning. Participants learn how students can find one another anywhere in the world by agreeing on a common tag, like 'writingmatrix'. We explore several tools for retrieving tagged content online and see how this applies to language learning.TRANSCRIPT

This presentation was made originally for a lecture and workshop at the NileTESOL AUC Skills Conference from 14:00 to 16:00 GMT Feb 3, 2019
The entire presentation has lecture and hands-on components. What you see here is a quick run through the hands-on part.
◦ LECTURE Talking about Tags: How they work, why they're useful -- introduces the concept of tags, relating it to what participants already know about tagging (e.g. photos in Facebook). I will show how teachers can exploit tags when having their students create content online; for example, how students can find one another anywhere in the world by agreeing on a common tag, like 'writingmatrix'. I will show how projects (for example, conferences) can accumulate internet content about the project when participants use tags, and how all this can be applied to language learning.
◦ HANDS-ON Tag Games: Using tags in professional and language development -- Here participants will go on to some web sites where objects can be tagged and use online tools to find the objects that other participants have tagged.

Very important: Your tagVery important: Your tagIn order to aggregate content for your group or event, you must first establish a common tag that everyone will use on objects that can be tagged; e.g.
evomlit for the EVO2010 Multiliteracies course
writingmatrix for a recent Webheads in Action international writing project
brazTESOL10 for the Sao Paulo conference event
This presentation shows some of the ways these tags can aggregate content online.
