What's up in Jan 2011...............

Here's what I'm working on lately:

1.  Most of my work has been MEJ (Minnesota English Journal)-related.  I am trying to get the entire journal edited and proofread by Jan. 24.  Then I will send it to Sandy Hayes (both as a whole journal and as individual articles) so she can post it on the web.

2. I'm also working on the online teaching circle.  As of this writing, I have 8/9 possible people who've expressed an interest.  I have sent them an e-mail asking them to pick a meeting time during the first couple days in Feb. 1.  I've also set up a meeting place for our first meeting: Trattoria Da Vinci in St. Paul (at Lynda's suggestion--it sounds great to me).  At the meeting, we'll need to set group goals/objectives, talk about ind. goals/objectives, sign up for ind. meetings and sign contracts.

3. One last thing: I found a cool site on Diigo again--this is called BiblioBouts, a research/bibliography game that students can play.  It's at http://www.bibliobouts.org/ (also on the link at the top of this entry).  It seems like it would be fun and useful for 1021, 1022, and lit. courses.
