Can link to nav bar

Artifacts an object to put into a ePortfolio

Able to STRUCTURE

Able to Tag

Linking vs uploading : LINK--why duplicate storage!

Can use multiple tags in single field with commas, "quotation marks" for duplicate word tags

Collections are groups of things. Can tag collections for mega-tagging

Add by groups (with a tag) it will pull everything in with that tag (and continue to add as new items are added with that tag.

"Add Tag to List" is automatically "And" so do tags separately as different searches so it is an "or"

NOT A DUMPING STATION--REFLECT AND CHOOSE
