Laura Fleming was working at an elementary school in River Edge, New Jersey, a tiny, suburban school district across the river from Manhattan. It was 2009, she’d been working in education for 12 years, and she’d long been searching for books that would engage her students. But each fall, it seemed, they arrived less interested in the books she loved. Fleming often felt like a stand-up comedian in a smoky nightclub. “You have that go-to joke that always gets the crowd going,” she said with a laugh. So, she began searching for something different. Then Fleming found Inanimate Alice. Created by the British novelist Kate Pullinger and British-Canadian multimedia artist Chris Joseph, Alice is a book that blinks, buzzes, hums, sings, jitterbugs, plays games, and, on occasion, rains and snows. Welcome to the brave new world of reading: the clickable, interactive future of books. What is a book, anyway?

13 Places In Bali That You MUST Visit in 2021 - Bali Travel Guide One of the highlights of a trip to Bali is taking the fast boat to the absolutely gorgeous smaller islands nearby. There’s two options – Gili islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air), and the Nusa islands (Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida). I can’t stress enough for any traveller the need to visit at least one of these island groups. Why? There are fewer tourists on these islands than on Bali. There’s an authentic feel of Balinese life untouched by commercialism and tourism, almost like escaping to your own exotic island hideout. Be sure to plan time for one or the other island group to visit. Gili or Nusa? Both island groups are packed with outstanding natural beauty. While Gili islands are much smaller, remote and further away, they are very pure – there are no motorised vehicles or radio/telephone masts on the islands whatsoever. The Nusa islands on the other hand, are larger and have more activities on offer. Tickets should never cost more than INR 200k.

Award Wallet Inanimate Alice & Toontastic by on Prezi North Bali: Top 10 Things To See & Do in 2020 Sekumpul Waterfall Considered the most beautiful waterfall in Bali, also one of the most powerful. Sekumpul waterfall is quite far out and difficult to reach, so consider making this the main focus of your day if you decide to visit. Aling Aling Waterfall You can slide down this waterfall and jump into pool, depending on when you visit. How to get there: By car or scooter, its an hour to get to both waterfall locations. Admission: 25K Banyumala Twin Waterfalls One of the most popular, this one is an enormous twin waterfall that trickles down over a huge rocky cliff into a large shallow pool, and you can actually swim and stand beneath this waterfall. How to get there: From Munduk, it’s 30 minutes to get to Banyumala Twin waterfalls by car or scooter. Admission: 20K GitGit Waterfall I really liked this one because the force of the water hitting the rocks is intense and the noise booms and echoes deep into the forest. How to get there: From Bedugul, its 25 minutes away, by car or scooter.

Transmedia Storytelling by Amanda S. Hovious - Libraries Unlimited - ABC-CLIO Amanda S. Hovious This practical and thorough guide offers clear explanations of what transmedia storytelling is and shows how it can be integrated into library programming that fosters multimodal literacy with K–12 learners.
