Wiki Crazy :)


I think I've found out why Dave likes Wikis so much!

I'm not sure how long I've been at it (an hour, maybe two) working on my wiki about my seminar at the NYSEC conference: Fantasy Lands. I am absolutely LOVING IT!

I'm thinking now that I should have done a huge wiki project involving fantasy YA lit for my final project...I was so into it! That way I could have built a monster resource for myself and my students. Oh well. Flash poetry will work.

Y'all should check out my monster wiki
Fantasy Lands because it is quite a feat. I've added stuff that wasn't on my handout, so it is the new and improved version! Fantasy Lands 2.0, the interactive version! YAH!

Dawn, thanks..this is fantastic. I immediately sent the URL to my undergrad who's doing fantasy.

What a resource for your future students...Jacqueline's class for now?

Dawn, your wiki page is taking off. Maybe others will contribute to it down the road. I really like how you're adding external links. I'm betting most of the authors you mention had pages in Wikipedia and that you could also possibly link to Amazon pages for the books.

Good work!

Thanks Alex and Karen! I wish I'd figured out how to "access" wikis sooner...it's proven most enjoyable and I can't wait to add to it!

This is all incremental Dawn...the "transformation" takes place over time...
