Introduction to tagging good practice with showme

One of the main motives for joining me.edu.au is to find and to share good ideas and practice in using ICT in education and training. We are promoting use of the tag showme as an identifier of good practical ideas in me.edu.au. Once a blog entry, whiteboard entry or profile entry or Community link includes the word showme , it can be found, courtesy of me.edu.au's amazing search function.

As the number of showme tags increases you can search on multiple terms like showme physics, or showme literacy, or digital storytelling showme, and so on. Search works on tags and on any word on the site, so as long as the term showme is used, it can be found.

What is a 'practical idea'
We are looking for:

• teaching and learning examples - what has worked or not worked and
  
• introductions to new tools, applications techniques. The sort of advice that teachers, instructors and lecturers will call "good practical information".

Where and how?
The me.edu.au blog provides the most convenient forum to publish, but information can also be included in whiteboard entries and in links - which may point to blog entries that tell a more detailed story.

There is a range of very appealing mulitmedia formats that can now readily be embeded in the blog, like videos, slide shows and images. To find out more, search for showme!
