I have chosen to read A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.  I have wanted to read this book for a while but naver "had the time."  More accurately, never had the external motivation.  According to the amazon.com blurb: "The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't."  I agree with this, expecially in light of the Google article we read.  We need to change our method of thinking, and that will in turn change our instructional pedagogy.  I am working hard to modify my instructional practices and classroom to fit into a more collaborative, project (learning by doing) based model, and I hope this book will help me further my goal.  A couple of the amazon.com reviews warn that this book is different right from the begining, emulating the different methods we need to adapt in order to foster the right brain thinking.  I am excited to see what this book has to offer!

 Pink, D. (2006). A whole new mind: Why right-brainers will rule the future. New York: Riverhead Books.
