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.
