edutagger is a social bookmarking service for K-12 learners and educators, allowing you to store your web links online and share them with others, all within an educational context.
The ultimate goal of many web 2.0 services is that of user-driven and collaborative content. The social bookmarking model of EduTagger allows an entirely new way of sharing interesting and valuable content related to K-12 education. Of course this type of content requires users, in this case users who submit and tag links, as that will translate to a natural promotion of more popular content.
Users such as yourself have contributed greatly towards this process, and a small selection of quality bookmarks have been built over the last few months. However, so many others in the K-12 educational community are missing out on this experience, and we expect these people could contribute greatly if they became part of the EduTagger community.
A great way to help EduTagger grow is by forwarding this site to your friends or colleagues in the field of K-12 education, either by pasting the address www.edutagger.com into an email or using the Tell a Friend link below this post.
If you're reading this page having been forwarded this link, the best way to contribute is to register and begin submitting any web resources you find useful in K-12 education. Remember to tag any other links you find useful, and those links will rise to the top of the popularity list for easier organisation by others. Enjoy your stay and check back often.

It seems you use the word "tag" in a different sense than I was expecting. Are you using it as a synonym for "vote for", with "bury" as its antonym? Most tagging sites use the term "tag" as a synonym for "label" or "index term", meaning a word associated with a URL or document that makes it easier to find. I would appreciate it if you add "tagging" in this sense to this site.
Yes, in the case of Edutagger, "tagging" refers to "voting", with traditional tags referring to "keywords". I understand this may be confusing but it makes sense from a domain name perspective and teaching perspective (use of keywords, etc).
Of course I'll keep your suggestion in mind. What would you use in place of the current tag terminology, "vote"?
If anyone else is reading this i'd appreciate their input too.

Just to update everyone, "tag" has been replaced by "vote" and "keyword" has been replaced by "tag" to remain consistent with other web services.
