How to find stuff?

A few people say they have a hard time finding stuff. There is a very simple solution to all this, Tags!

Imagine you had a big pile of stuff, and none of it was labeled or tagged. It would be hard to find anything, without looking at everything. So the solution is to tag everything, then we will be able to find it easily in the future. Up until now I have made tags optional, but they will be required from now on for the sake of organization.

Suggestions for tagging. The lesson it pertains to like 'lesson 4', dog's name like 'Bree', the subject like 'jumping'. Separate multiple tags with commas. The preceding example's tags would look like 'lesson 4, Bree, jumping'. Then everything pertaining to Bree will be listed under the Bree tag.

Please try to use the same tags that others have used for the same topic. This is easy to do, when you start typing a tag in, for example "lesso" the computer will pop up a list of tags that start with that, for example "lesson 1" "lesson 2" " lesson 3" etc. Just click on the tag that applies. This is called autocompletion. 

How do you find these tags. Go to the link that is at the top of every page labeled 'tags' and click on the tag that is closest to what you are searching for. There is also a 'tag' block on the front page of Agilty Dynamite.

Thanks Eric!

I didn't know what tags were--I'm technology-challenged!Cry

Is there a place where all student uploaded videos go or should we always search for tags?
