//Welcome to Joy's Wiki!//
Hello! If you're here, I bet you're dying to know more about me! Right now, this is just an experiment for me. I want to play around with organizing wikis and thinking about how I can use wikis in my classroom. (I especially have to figure out how to use wikis without freaking out over the inevitable formatting challenges--I freak out over formatting issues way too much!)
 * My name is Joy. (In Spanish, it's Alegria.)
 * Most days, you can find me at Rudy Lozano Leadership Academy, where I teach, head the Humanities department, and try to be a literacy coach.
 * I don't speak Spanish, but I want to learn to. Soon.
 * Right now, I'm addicted to "Lost" (I'm way behind the times, but oh well!).
 * The last good thing I read was... well, I can't remember! Yikes. I plan on reading a LOT over the summer. Recommend stuff on the discussion tab if you have ideas for me!
 * I'm in an awesome literacy coach cohort right now, taking classes through St Xavier University (check out our wiki here at http://sxuliteracyeducators.wikispaces.com ).

Over the summer, after I get a better sense of how I'm going to incorporate wikis into my classroom, I will revise this wiki and link it to my Google site that I already use for my classes.
