World Wide List of Storytelling Courses

I took over maintaining the World Wide List of Storytelling Courses from Eric Miller when I was a student at ETSU. It is currently posted on my wiki page and on the SHE SIG wiki page (shesig.pbwiki.com). It is also on the NSN page under resources (minus the two courses I just added a few minutes ago). I have received a couple more courses to add just since joining this group. If you know of other courses in oral storytelling, please send me the information… Continue

Chances to tell again

I will be telling to a group of 4th graders in a few weeks. I'm very excited. Making the transition to a new state and new job hasn't given me much time to tell stories. I will also be telling in the Alabama Showcase at the NSN conference. I'm very excited about that.

HI Millie,

Here it is three months later and I am just finding all your messsages. Gives you someinsight into the craziness of my life. Sorry to havemissed you on your northward Spring journey. We'll need to try again. You always have a bed to crash on up here in Massachusetts if you need it. I won't be making it tothe conference this summer but may try to get down for the festival. Perhaps our paths will cross somewhere out there. Hope all is going well for you in Alabama. I am trying to keep my storytelling life afloat up here despite four teenagers! Wish meluck.
Love and good wishes to you!

Dear Storytellers!
Thank you for all your kind words of welcome. I hope I can move from my Luddite mentality and participate in this electronic, cyber space community. Norah thank you for your appreciation of my version of The "Boy" Who Had No Story. Mille, I will be back at ETSU in October. Tom, I sure hope I will get to Texas some time too. We can swap poetry. I share my own and others as well. Buck, thanks for inviting me into this circle. David Joe, I'm going to try and load a photo now...wish me luck. Happy Spring to all of you.
Jennifer
