John Vornle came up with a remarkable concept.  ...  create a list of books and share it.  It will be a "Mindset" that he can compare to others.  If people have read the same books, they can at least start talking with greater depth than simply lecturing at each other about ideas that only one side has examined.

Vornle made a big effort.   I wonder if the educators who read this post can add to his work or create a parallel list of books for education.   At the very least, we would highlight for each other some books that have influenced each of us and we might grow stronger in our alliances with each other.   

I move forward with the understanding that I at least knew something about Vygotsky (which I came closer to understanding and using because of Mario Llorente).

I mentioned to Matt Blazek one time that I was impressed with Dan Pink's DRIVE which claims that motivation is supported by "Mastery,  Purpose and Autonomy" and you, Matt, replied, "Oh, that's xxxxx and that concept has been around since the 1980s"  (something like that).   A concept that I learned from Dan Pink was already in your head.

We can each add our list to the John Vornle Library and make it a list of summaries about education.   The blogpost can be added to in two ways...  (a) send me the item and I'll insert it in the blog post.   or (b) make a comment at the bottom of the blog and I can eventually add the comment into the blogpost.

  1. John ended the list with "this document is forever changing." That's the cue to each of us to add our list of books that are worth reading. Send your annotated list (summarize the book and tell us what is important.... why should we carry that idea in our heads?) SteveEnglishTeacher@gmail.com
