Information is like water
• We have so much of it that we don't value it - until it's cut off or becomes polluted.
• It flows everywhere throughout our lives. • It's hard to confine and control.• Directing it and using it to power and
empower our lives requires a lot of work.• But it's worth it.

Information is like water
• To make use of it we do need to channel italong the most efficient route.

No more folders
• Once, we organised information into folders and filing cabinets.
• Now, digital information requires different systems because …– there's more of it– it easily multiplies– shared and repurposed
it can spread out of control ….

Key Principles
• There should only be one, definitive, version of a document.
• All information needs meta tags – information about information
![Page 8: The Cambridgeshire Education Portal 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f04550346895dcdc3ac/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tagging• Tagging links information to preferred audience.• People, places and resources have tags• LA Services need to tag resources, • The School audience needs to tag itself • The Portal Team tags the schools • Good tags mean searching is more effective,• Services match resources to audience … • … so the schools audience gets • what it wants - and what we know it wants
to see.

How it works in practice - 1
• The Portal Team provide the Portal structure• and the topics list, • plus meta data about every school – • what type it is and where it is.
![Page 10: The Cambridgeshire Education Portal 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f04550346895dcdc3ac/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How it works in practice - 2
• Each LA Service provides information, files and resources.
• They publish these and add tags to them showing the topics covered by the content, how important it is and the likely audience (roles and schools).

How it works in practice - 3
• Schools administrators match staff names to roles and give accounts to all staff
• Staff also add information about their roles and interests.
• Now the system can go to work, matching content to audience, showing you what is useful for you.

Searching
• The search engine looks through content and tags, then shows the results in a window.
• That window can be set to search [eg show everything published by the PSHE Service]or set up by the user [eg show me curriculum materials for PE in primary schools]
• Windows can be placed on the web pages and results will be automatically updated

Why a window instead of a list?
• Because the contents of the window are dynamic - updated as the resources are updated.
• No more lists for you to update manually. • A user can save the search on an LA Services
page or on their My Site page to show the results that they want to see.
