  1. Just finished *A Tree Grows in Brooklyn*, which is on our summer reading list for sophomores. I loved it.
  2. I only today learned that Sherlock Holmes has been adapted for film again. Does this make me unhip, or does it reflect unhiply on my PLN?
  3. RT @jclerch: We seem to celebrate those humans who transcend Maslow's hierarchy of needs http://post.ly/DHX3
  4. Looking for a model on how to read poetry? http://www.youtube.com/watc... (HT peer observation)
  5. The premise of *Y: The Last Man -- Unmanned*? There are only two males left on Earth, a man and his monkey.
  6. Is non-fiction harder to read? After two weeks of Dawkins, I've now read a hundred pages of *A Tree Grows in Brooklyn* in one morning.
  7. Just finished *The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution* by Dawkins for staff book club. It took two weeks to read.
  8. The Answer Sheet defends benefits of reading fantasy. Mentions *Twilight* for some reason... http://bit.ly/1E2xPm
  9. Why wd I want to retweet something if it no longer involves a tiny picture of my head being attached to their words? (via @guentheralex)
  10. History teachers look up. Short video on the decline of empires. http://bit.ly/45zk9H
  11. Indexed on trouble and intelligence. Applies to *Frankenstein*... and perhaps management too. http://bit.ly/2b8Jiu
  12. @readinator A blend of Twitter and Meet Up, Tweetup is a meeting of Twitter users.
  13. Thinking about reading Haruki Murakami? Maybe it's better not to start on *Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World*.
  14. I will blog about leadership every day this week. Here's what I have so far. http://alienpedagogy.edublo...

  16. RT @ddmeyer: difficulty teaching students < difficulty teaching teachers in person < difficulty teaching teachers online.

  18. Finished reading *Bleach: Vol. 1*, the manga about an orange-haired teenager who kills evil spirits.
  19. At Bambi Betts' session on leadership. Looks like I'm North on the Leadership Compass, but I wasn't like this until I started teaching.
  20. Attending Bambi Bets workshop on leadership with my principal. Looks like I'm an innovator when it comes to change.
