After a difficult journey to class caught in a storm, I arrived a bit tired and weary. In class we went over some of the history of Instructional Technology. The article we were assigned was simply put, mind numbing. I found myself reading over and over the same lines as my mind atrophied. Going over the material in class helped a bit, but it was too much of a whirlwind of information to really have fostered any learning other than at surface level.
As for my first project, which will be on "tagging", I have been gathering resources and doing some preliminary research. Tagging is such an interesting topic because it is very relevant at the present moment and is currently evolving at an accelerated pace. This is exciting to research, yet challenging, because things are constantly changing. What I find most useful about tagging is that it brings the "social" aspect into traditional searches. While Google and other search engines might only provide links due to reasons related to financial reasons, tagging is a way to find information because other users have tagged information and brought it to the community.
