Labels, labels, labels..., please!

Today as students looked for one another's final essays to review, several had difficulty finding essays to review on classmates' blogs. So they had to ask for assistance repeatedly. Even when peers' essays were there, they weren't necessarily easy to find. One reason was some blogs had no label "essays" in their lists of labels in the sidebars.

In order to get comments on your essays from peers, and to have them reviewed by peers, your essays must be easy to find. So please make certain to apply the label "essays" (plural) to all of your essays, and to no other posts.

The same goes for portfolios. To make it easy to find both proto-portfolio elements and portfolios (completed and in-progress), you should label all posts on your blogs that relate to portfolio development with the label "portfolios" (plural).

I won't go on and on about other labels here. I'll just remind to you keep them simple (one-word, generic, or plural forms), and urge you to review all recent posts (fall semester) that I've labeled with the label "labels". You can find them all by clicking on the label "labels" in the Labels (aka Tags) list in the sidebar!
