Thinking Allowed.

If you haven’t seen Mike Wesch’s video on the information r/evolution, you really need to. It’s a terrific look at how tags are reshaping the way information is organized (or not organized, for that matter). I have written a detailed post on it on my Talking Tech blog which tries to demystify web 2.0 tools for teachers.

So I won’t write that post again here.

But this video really captures how the back end hierarchy of categorizing information is no longer happening or necessary. Tags and search capability have created a way for information to be available in lots of ways – so different than the old model of the book being in only one place on a shelf.

Check out the video:
