Thanks, Sari. Maine was great -- an enthusiastic group of educators and librarians, and a terrific event overall.

Also, if anyone here will be at San Diego Comic-Con please let me know. I'll definitely be there and would love to meet up -- maybe we could even "split" the ed sessions and report back to each other (and the group) on how they went. Also, there's a chance that I'll be on a panel with Jeff Smith and Josh Elder on "comics in schools" -- Comic-Con hasn't officially approved it yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

A funny Publishers Weekly photo of yours truly teaching literacy at Kids' Comic Con, a great experience and a well-attended session:

Next up: similar workshops at the Massachusetts Library/School Library Conference (May 8, Springfield) and the Maine Comics Arts Festival (May 17, Portland). Please let me know if you'll be there, or would like details. Thanks!

Will you be attending Kids' Comic Con on April 25? If so, please let me know -- or try to find me at the event.

I'm leading a morning workshop for educators and librarians at 11:00 that's based upon my teaching. At noon I'm on an industry panel led by Diamond's Janna Morishima. Then, at 2:30 I believe, I helping out with the Toon Books' theater workshop/performance for kids by leading a guided reading of Eleanor Davis's Stinky.

Here's the full lineup of guests: http://www.kidscomiccon.com/guestroster.html (Oh, and if you'll be there, please drop by the booth of Emotes, another of my clients.)

Hope to see you there -- !

Hey Comics People!!

An idea - and this is something I've been telling folks in all the jumpin' groups. If your talking about a specific issue it seems to be better to start a fresh Discussion Forum (above) for big posts/new topics/ ideas. This Ning only launched Jan 20, so I'm learning how best to manage the space along with everyone else.

For example - below we have some incredible threads on Malcolm X, Persepolis, The Middle East and Controversial Images in Comics etc. Unfortunately, The Comment Wall (here) doesn't really sort by topic or thread. On the flipside, Discussion Forum postings allow for a clear archive on your topic. Ravin's resource list was incredible but as more and more people make comments here will be harder to find.

So if any one wants ideas or want to share or get ideas on a specific topic you're probably best served by creating a Forum around a topic or idea that is easily searchable when people come and join the group at a later date.

Also (and I just got clear on this this week) - If you're interested in a thread, but didn't start it you can CHOOSE to follow them. In this photo here...

See the the little option in the lower right hand corner? If you click on that you can follow threads you didn't start - you get an e-mail update every time someone adds to the discussion.

So if you wanted to follow the American Born Chinese discussion above you can sign up to get e-mail updates as people add ideas!

It is great to have everyone here and exciting to see all the wonderful resources people are brining to make curriculum pop!

Stay Groovy!

RRG:)
