Today I once again got to see Mr. David Warlick at the Maggie Walker Governor’s School in Richmond as part of their staff development day.
Some notes for the presentation can be found on his wiki.
Most valuable for me were some new books that I had yet to read; I think they will be on my short list once I finish my current Prensky book.
Among the author(s) new to me was Richard Florida. I’m currently working on The Long Tail by Anderson, and I seemed to have found Wikinomics before anyone else (I liked the cover when it first came out). I have read some Daniel Pink, but his “Whole new mind” is a new one to me, I shall like to try that one too.
The most valuable thing about his presentation, I thought, was some of the dialog from Maggie Walker teachers. They challenged him on some points, and I would have liked to (at that point) diverted from the plan, and engaged them further (if I were Warlick).
My thanks go out to Patti Chappell for inviting us out two years now to share and hear Warlick during his visits.
