This is an AMAZING program

It's not Art-ed related, but it does relate to tagging, as it operates off the principles of meta-ing. Try it, it's incredible.

Tagging, Museum and otherwise

"The teaching implications of tagging are enormous. If we allow our students to begin assigning their own significance to the evidence we introduce them to, I think we'll find that they make meaning from this evidence in ways that we couldn't imagine. Of course, this means allowing them to make their own meaning from the past, something that many members of our conservative and fussy tribe will recoil from. But just as many, will see it as a marvelous chance to find out what our students can do with the evidence we give them."
