#lrnchat Twitter Chat for those interested in Learning http://lrnchat.wordpress.com/ #lrnchat Twitter Chat for those interested in Learning
#lrnchat is an online chat over the social messaging service Twitter that now happens twice every Thursday: first at 11:30-1pm EDT/4:30-6pm BST/5:30-7pm CET and then again at 8:30-10pm EDT/5:30-7pm PDT.
The new earlier #lrnchat is tailored for those in parts of the world asleep during the original later one or for whatever reason simply prefer an earlier time.
There is no expectation that someone would participate in both though you are welcome to do so.
Participants are people interested in the topic of learning from one another and who want to discuss how to help other people learn.
#scichat Twitter Chat for Science Educators http://www.teachingscience20.com/scichat/ #scichat Twitter Chat for Science Educators
Our focused #scichat discussions have been fantastic. In between these discussions, the #scichat hashtag has also helped many of us with sharing science ed resources.
#scichat provides a way for scientists and educators to engage in an ongoing discussion with the goal of sharing ideas, growing professionally and improving the teaching of science. This “hashtag” can be used at any time to share your thoughts or resources with other science educators. However, the real power of #scichat is to develop a community through real-time events every other Tuesday night (9:00 Eastern).
The topic for each event will usually be selected in advance by the community. We will also occasionally have #scichat special events and Twinterviews.

The first #blogchat was in March of 2009.
The first #blogchat went on for a couple of hours, and was an instant hit! Everyone wanted to make it a weekly affair, so I decided to have a #blogchat every Sunday nite, at the same time! The chat is now one of the most popular on Twitter, and each week we have a couple hundred active participants, and well over 1,000 tweets! http://tweetchat.com/room/blogchat

#ukedchat http://ukedchat.wikispaces.com/ Blog ukedchat.wordpress.com/
The idea of ukedchat is a more uk-educator friendly version of the very popular twitter discussion #edchat, that takes place on a Tuesday. The problem for UK educators is the timing of edchat, being early evening, or at midnight, which does not suit a lot of educators. Therefore, following discussion with between some twitter colleagues, a UK / European friendly edchat was mentioned at timings more suitable and convenient for people involved with UK or European education (inside or outside the UK).
Thursday evening 8:00-9:00 UK time #ukedchat "#Edchat is a hash-tag on Twitter. What you do is you meet online at a certain day and time and you discuss a topic with other teachers. "

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets, similar to how tags work for blogs. Anyone can create a hashtag. To start a hashtag, just prefix any word with the pound symbol: #wth
Hashtags are a method for grouping related tweets. If you are going to a conference, there is probably a designated hashtag. When you add that hashtag to your tweets, it makes it easier for other attendees to see what you are saying about the event. Hashtags are also helpful in finding other users who have similar interests.
TagCrowd http://tagcrowd.com/ TagCrowd is a web application for visualizing word frequencies in any user-supplied text by creating what is popularly known as a tag cloud or text cloud.

Twemes http://twemes.com Twemes.com follows Twitter.com tweets (messages) that have embedded tags that start with a # character.
These are sometimes called hashtags but we like to use the term twemes.
Through the use of twemes, we can all view what people are talking about across the whole Twitter universe. In some sense, this can be thought of as an adhoc chatroom.

Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/webbuilding/page5508.cfm Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging
When it comes to tagging, spreading the word is only half the battle. First, you have to give your tag a name. A tag should be unique but memorable; something that identifies your cause without being so vague that it could cover a broad spectrum of issues.
Below are some tips for choosing tags on del.icio.us from Web Consultant Alexandra Samuel.

Video Tagging Services: Veotag and Click.TV http://mashable.com/2006/06/02/new-video-tagging-services-veotag-and-clicktv/ Video Tagging Services: Veotag and Click.TV
VeoTag and Click.TV are two contenders in the video tagging space. They’ll be joined by MotionBox, a similar service that offers both deep-tagging and video remixing (ala JumpCut and Eyespot). The idea is to let users tag individual sections of a video so that others can skip straight to the juicy bits. Further down the line, the data could also be used to improve video search.
All The Cool Kids Are Deep Tagging http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/01/all-the-cool-kids-are-deep-tagging/ All The Cool Kids Are Deep Tagging
Many people are tagging audio, video and photo content.
YouTube, Flickr and others allow this (and see Google’s efforts to tag photos using humans). Tags help describe the content and are usable by search engines as well as humans.
But highest level tags, when they are present, don’t capture all of the content, so a lot is missed.
That’s why I like the idea of deep tagging. It requires human labor but for many publishers it’s worth it. Instead of simply being associated with a file, a deep tag is associated with a clip from the file. Click on the tag and jump right to that part of the clip.

Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging http://www.techsoup.org/howto/articles/webbuilding/printpage4519.cfm Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging
How to mark sites so you and others can find them
Let's face it: the Internet is huge. It's tough enough to find useful information, let alone save it so that you can refer to it later.
Wouldn't it be nice to classify information with your own keywords so that you could find it again easily? To share your favorite sites and links with others, without relying on your browser's Advanced Search feature?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it's time try your hand at tagging. A tag is a collaboratively generated, open-ended labeling system that enables Internet users to categorize content such as Web pages, online photographs, and Web links.
Tagging lets you categorize information online your way.

New way to find and store information online has implications for schools
A (new) way of searching the web makes it easier than ever to find, store, and share information online.
Supporters of the method, known as "tagging," say it could have broad implications for educators looking to direct students quickly and easily to more relevant information on the internet.
Educators say the greatest benefit of tagging, and the reason many large internet companies now are adopting it, is that tagging sites often allow users to make their list of tags and sites available to (and searchable by) either a closed community of individuals-- such as friends and family, or the students of Mrs. Jones's eighth-grade English class--or all other web surfers.
Tag Central http://tagcentral.net/ Tag Central
This site aggregates this data from a variety of sources. All one needs to do is provide a keyword (TAG) that the data should be labeled with.
Current Sources for Tag Central are:
Flickr | Smugmug | Wists | Technorati | BlogMarks | 43 Things | del.icio.us | Connotea | Furl | Upcoming.org | Jots | de.lirio.us | Consumating |
Tagging and Meta-Search http://www.searchlounge.org/ Tagging and Meta-Search
Tagging systems are segmented by media. You can tag photos on Flickr, web pages on Furl, del.icio.us, Yahoo!? My Web., videos on YouTube, your book collection on LibraryThing, and so forth and so on. But why should my video tags be different from my photo tags? There might be one-off situations, but generally my tags should follow me rather than me having to follow my tags around from search box to search box.
I want one search box or tag cloud to give me access to all of it. At times I may want to limit my search or browse by media (as in tabbed searching for local vs. news vs. images, etc), but often I?l want all relevant results regardless of media type.
Tag Central does this, but it lists results by source rather than integrating them together with a ranking algorithm. But it? fun to play around with.
Has anyone built a meta-search engine or a widget of some sort that actually integrates and ranks the results across tagging systems?
