What is a bookmark?
A bookmark is anything you find on the Web with a URL (web address). You may also
turn your own files into bookmarks by uploading them to Edtags.org.
This page explains the layout of our bookmarks.
What is a tag?
Tags are keywords that describe your bookmark. You should add tags
to each bookmark you save to make it easy for you and others to find.
This page lists the most popular tags on the Edtags.org site in ascending
alphabetical order. The bigger the tag, the more times it was used to describe
a bookmark.
Upload documents, images, etc. Wondering what to do with your exemplary course paper?
Want to publish your work quickly and easily to the education community?
Edtags.org allows you to upload almost any type of file to store
