Tag, an interactive magazine showcasing student creativity, has a NEW interactive format and is now offered at NO COST to schools!
In line with rapid changes in technology, Tag has once again evolved and its format has become more interactive. Utilizing the technology provided by the same company which provides on-line versions of hundreds of daily newspapers, Tag is the first on-line student literary magazine in their repertoire of publications. Students, friends, and family members can blog, download the magazine to an ereader, print it, listen to it, or have it translated into another language. With links to Facebook, Twitter and more, students can share their work in a social media format that ensures they are globally connected in the 21st century.
