Upload Resource, Video, Hot Potatoes™ Quiz or Idea

You can now search the database of resources by tag as well as by their description, but you might be wondering what a 'tag' is.

The 'official' (well as official as Wikipedia is) definition of a tag is "...A tag is a (relevant) keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (e.g. a picture, a geographic map, a blog entry, or video clip), thus describing the item and enabling keyword-based classification and search of information." But, put basically it's a way of lumping items together.

A resource in the database might be a PowerPoint of Something and could have loads of tags that associative it with different items that are similar. We might want to add the following tags: PowerPoint, OCR, essay_help. This helps people when searching for resources that they want.

A few guides about tagging

1. A resource can have as many tags as it needs (it's limitless) - but don't go mad!
2. Tags should really be all one word - if it's a two word tag (eg. this tag) put an underscore in (this_tag).
3. If a similar tag exists then please try to write the tag the same (case, spelling etc.) - this will help with searching.
