I've been watching the conversation emerge, and I'm glad for the thoughtful posts I've seen. As we move into the "meat of the book" I'm sure we'll get more connections to our classrooms and our professional practice.
The emergence of your ideas as blog responses leads me to the title of this post. I would prefer to have an authentic exchange of ideas and reflections - not post an "assignment" and watch the obligatory responses add up! I believe in the blog as a way to add flexibility, convenience, and power to our professional conversations.
It's a way to do the Story sense that Pink highlights!
If you haven't shared a story of your experience with the text so far, please do. Perhaps the upcoming break will allow you the opportunity to read some posts and comments - or begin your own. I want to reach the end of our session (coming sooner than you think) with lots of evidence on this site to demonstrate that the blog option is a viable one for Flex, Act 48, and professional learning.
Look over the six senses (or start with the one that intrigues you most) and tell us something about your thinking. I can't wait to see how it connects to your classroom and your life...Dave

Dr. Dave et al,
Please forgive my naivete with this blogging stuff! I don't know why, but I really seem to have difficulty when attempting to "post" comments where they actually belong. Heck, I have a hard time remembering which password I need to use...too many different accounts.
Anyway, I probably shouldn't "post" this here, but realize time is running short and I have responded in scant fashion.
I would like to touch upon Asia, Abundance and Automation...I know, my responses are out of sync. I responded to the "design" issue before the Triple A chapter. Here goes anyway...
I think the fact that Asia, Abundance and Automation are all impacting our workforce/economic direction around the same time are like the planets aligning. How remarkable it is that these three issues have impacted our global workforce and international economy because they've occurred relatively simultaneously! One of these conditions may have changed the direction we were headed in, but all three have made a dramatic impact as Pink suggests. I have never really thought of these conditions before they were spelled out as they were.
What I don't understand, however, is if the Left brainers are, in fact, so methodical and calculating, why they didn't predict the potential of leading to the obsoletion of their own professions, thus leading to the suggested potential "rule" of the "Right brainers"!
That is a good point! And who knows, maybe they did. Don't you think someone is making a killing recruiting these people abroad and taking a cut of their wages!
