Actv8 Magazine Acitivities

I am creating student activities based around the Actv8 magazine which we get boxes of at school every now and then. Thinking that there is a lot of learning to be done in each issue, I have written some tasks to choose from. Normally, I would type them up in Word and store them somewhere on my computer, and then have trouble finding them. I thought that tagging my files would be helpful, and then thought I could do that on my blog. The downside is that the tasks will be unavailable when the network is down, which is partly why I was writing them in the first place! So this solution to my problem is only a partial solution.
