Preparing bookmarks and links for PMOG missions
Overheard from a Twitter post by

Reviewing all my course bookmarks to see if there are any tags that contain enough interesting links to turn into PMOG missions

Inappropriate?Melmcbride, this is a good point that we could turn into a discussion.
I generally try to make interesting missions with as many obscure links as possible, preferrably from blogs. The way I go about doing it is, twofold
I use Google Reader and have quite a lot of aggregated feeds (over 500). When I read something that catches my attention, is sufficiently well stated and has a clear subject, I use the built-in tagging function to mark it. This way I have a lot of posts marked with the various topics
In the same way, when I stumble into a page for a distinct topic that I think I might make a mission about, I use del.icio.us to tag it with the same topic I would tag in in Greader.
Once I think I have enough items tagged, I go through the tag in greader and del.icio.us, pick out the best posts (or all) and then start creating the mission.
An example of this is here: http://pmog.com/missions/science_and_...
What do the rest of you handle it? Any tips?
I’m hoping to hear more ideas

Inappropriate?db8 Wow - that's a great overview of your process. This could be very helpful to educators (and others). Has anybody even done a "how to make a mission" in PMOG video? That would be neat. Mind you, we educators will have to come up with a slightly different strategy for content that adheres to a unit them. But your approach above could be a great starting point. Thank you for sharing your advice!
I’m happy
