Faculty Summer Reading

So I finished reading the book Dr. Beedy gave us, A Whole New Mind. Yes, I'm a nerd. But I got my copy early! I thought it was great, but maybe that's because my strengths lean toward the right-brained. One of my favorite quotes from the book is: "perspective is more important than IQ" (136). Another, in the same chapter: "The key to success is to risk thinking unconventional thoughts. Convention is the enemy of progress" (137). These ideas, and really the whole book, present us with the challenge to shift the way we teach and assess our students.

First Responses to Blink

What's your first impression of Blink?

My husband grabbed it from the counter the day I brought it home & promptly started reading it. He likes it, but now he's paranoid about my facial expressions. I guess I'll figure that out when I read the book.
