Let’s Get The Word Out!

I’m always looking for great reference sites. Sometimes I need an overall HTML/CSS reference and sometimes I need a basic grammar site. Many times, I’m looking for an all-around education reference site so that I can assist my kids with their homework while maintaining my parental image of being all knowing, wise and wonderful.

That gets more and more difficult to do as the kids get older.

Today I discovered TagEdu, a kind of social networking/bookmarking/tagging site. The Web 2.0 styling and technology allows the data to be refreshed without having to actually refresh the page.

Since TagEdu is a relatively new site, users are encouraged to add their own favorite resources. A site like this is only as good as the community that helps to build it. This one has the potential to be very useful for teachers and students as well as parents.

We often hear about all the bad stuff online; the naysayers have plenty of instances of evil to point out. TagEdu is one of the really good things out there. Even if you don’t think you can use it right now, how about digging through your bookmarks and sharing one of your favorite educational or reference links with others by submitting it to the site? And then, why not blog about TagEdu yourself? Let’s get the word out about this excellent resource!
