Last year I completed one online book study; this year I have signed up for two!
On the English Companion Ning (have you joined this Ning yet?), Kelly Gallager is leading a discussion of his book Readicide. The study starts this week. Membership is growing! I was member 70+ to join. Now have 104 members involved in this online study!
Thanks to Jim Burke (click here for his blog and here for the Ning) for creating this opportunity for us this summer. This is the Ning’s second book study (just finished a study of Maja Wilson’s Rethinking Rubrics on the English Companion NIng).
Within our 21 CLC team, we are reading Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind. On day two of our summer group meeting, Daniel Pink will meet with us online. Exciting! (Prior to this, we will complete and discuss the novel via our 21 CLC wiki.) Thanks to peer and project director Lisa Huff for her energy and initiative in creating this professional growth for us.
I encourage group book studies. Much like reading the Bible, one reader gets one concept, while another grasps another. Through sharing, though, we highlight the many nuggets contained within that literary work.
Interested in being a part of such a group? Please check out the Ning (for many valuable insights and resources)!

Oooh, A Whole New Mind! I saw Daniel Pink speak in 2007 and then taught that book in a college class last spring– my students absolutely loved it, and I found it fascinating. I bet you’ll enjoy it too!
