MidLink Magazine Expands to Include Content for High School Students

Posted on October 30, 1998

MidLink Magazine, a digital magazine written by students, has recently expanded to include content for high-school students. When the online magazine was established in 1994, its primary audience was middle-school students. MidLink Magazine is a nonprofit educational project sponsored by SAS Institute Inc., North Carolina State University, and the University of Central Florida. The October 1998 edition of MidLink Magazine includes the debut of Secondary Roads, a new section for students in upper grades.

"For many years, our older readers have asked for a section with mature content," said Caroline McCullen, editor of the magazine and instructional technologist with School Technologies from SAS Institute. "In response to these requests, we have added Secondary Roads, which will feature articles that approach learning in new ways as we share the creative work of talented older students."

The premier edition of Secondary Roads includes a link to Electric Soup, an award-winning magazine by Florence McGinn, Technology & Learning's National Teacher of the Year, and her staff from Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, N.J. It also includes an Electronic Periodic Table being created by chemistry students at Cary Academy in Cary, N.C. About SAS Institute
