Dave Spencer shared this on twitter. A perfect summary to my last post,
Cool Explorations With Found Materials. I've ordered my copy of
Launch and cannot wait to start reading. It will be a great support for my rethinking learning journey.
This book is my other summer reading. Since I consider much of my rethinking journey to be a shift of mindsets, I am soo excited to read more from
George Couros. I read his blog posts and tweets everyday already and would love to start or join a book club where I can reflect and talk with others who are on this journey.
Launch is on the top of my summer reading list too :)
ReplyDelete(If you have time) another title you might want to add is "Learn Like a PIRATE" by Paul Solarz (published by Dave Burgess - who You might follow on Twitter already because he published "the Innovator's Mindset" and is a big promoter of "Launch"). I read it last summer.
The book isn't "inquiry"-specific (although it does have a part about Genius Hour/Passion Projects/20 Time), but it is a fantastic tool for transforming a classroom into a more student-led room.
(on that note, Dave Burgess publishes a bunch of good ones around student-led/inquiry/creativity/steam stuff - http://daveburgessconsulting.com/books-2/ and there are regular twitter parties/chats about them!)
Hi! Thanks! I do follow Dave Burgess and have added his book(s) to my list- does he also have 'Teach Like a Pirate?' There is such good information and support out there for this learning- I just find it so mind-boggling in terms of how to manage it all. Exciting and endless possibilities! Thanks for sharing.
