Welcome!

An official welcome to our newest group of bloggers! This current session will run from 1/24/08 until our face-to-face meeting on 4/3/08.

I'm very excited about the mix of people joining the book study. I hope you've been able to buy or borrow the book so we can get started with our online portion. The face-to-face session at IV covered some basic logistics, but now the real fun can begin.

I'd like to start by asking you to add your comment to this post related to this basic question: What have you read so far that really grabbed your attention?

An idea/concept you really resonate with; a statement that got you thinking; or maybe something you disagree with or wonder about.

Click the comment link below this post and let's get a conversation started as we begin the book together.

PS - I haven't explored much of Daniel Pink's site, but I thought it might have some nice resources for us as we learn together.

Daniel Pink

So...even though we haven't read the book yet (some of us), here is a link to a Discovery Educators Network (DEN) webinar from a few months ago with Daniel Pink. He addressses some of the 'right'brained' ideas from his book. It is about 50 minutes, but worth the watch on an early Saturday morning while the family's in bed :) Enjoy!
