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!

Escapism

Since the NYSEC conference is coming up shortly, we'll be leaving tomorrow, I decided I should fill y'all in on what I've been keeping myself busy with lately.

My presentation is on Fantasy YA Lit that should be included in the classroom library for students' perusal.

So, I have been doing LOTS of research, aka reading for fun to amass a larger list of titles.

Here are some great titles to check out: Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Eldest, Alison Croggon's The Naming (and eventually when it arrives from b&n: The Riddle), Ursula K. LeGuin's Gifts (I think Voices is also in this "series"), and of course, Colfer's Artemis Fowl.

I hope you, too, can find a great way to ... escape.
