- About Me
- I am an assistant professor of technology and teacher education at the University of West Alabama. I have dropped out of my personal book clubs but I would love to be in professional book group to discuss current titles.
Books I would like to discuss
This is just my current list--
A Whole New Mind by Dan Pink (read it a while back but didn't have anyone to discuss it with!)
Switch by Chip and Dan Heath
The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller
Grown Up Digital by Don Tapscott (I read Growing Up Digital when it first came out)
Unfolding the Napkin: The Hands-On Method for Solving Complex Problems with Simple Pictures by Dan Roam (I loved The Back of the Napkin)
Drive by Dan Pink
I am also open to the titles already on the list as soon as I get copies of them.
