MRG...

What is Morning Reading Group?

MRG started as an informal group that met to talk over articles relevant to teaching and learning at a local coffee shop in Pullman, Washington. The original members were from Washington State University’s Center for Teaching, Learning, & Technology, the Libraries, and Writing Programs. But after a few years the group languished as people moved on.

In April 2009, we decided to try and revitalize the group, inviting in old members at a distance and opening up the discussion to anyone interested in what we’re reading that week. The group meets every other Wednesday from 8:15 – 9:30 a.m. Pacific and can be joined at a distance by dropping into the group’s online meeting room in Zorap. If you’re interested, please join us! See the meeting times below for more infotmation.

Meeting 13: November 4, 8:15 a.m. Pacific



This week's "reading" will be the TED talk by Daniel Pink on "The Surprising Science of Motivation." Pink, who wrote A Whole New Mind with its Manga version, Johnny Bunko, talks about motivation in business but it's not a great mental leap to see implications for learning.

I found this piece stimulating on several levels. The quote contrasting "I think, therefore I am" with "We participate, therefore we are." is a interesting paradigm shift. I wrote a response to the article, written after the last MGR was canceled.
