Blogging Tips: Labels

Labels for blogs are a must. They are effectively the index to your blog just as the blog archive is the table of contents.
Labels for student blogs should be curriculum areas such as reading, writing, maths, art, inquiry, technology, computational thinking etc. These labels should be added to the first blog post by the Blog Admin so that they are already listed for students to choose form. 
Students tend to put in all the main ideas in their labels and this defeats the purpose of labels which is to group blogs and make the posts searchable. 
At this week's DFI Kerry shared with us Blogging Tips: Labels and the gem in this was the table for labels for professional blogs.
