What have you been reading?
Now that Labor Day is around the corner and summer is coming to a close, I’m hoping folks can share a bit of information about “what you did on your summer vacation” (ha!) When you have a moment, post a comment below and share the following two bits of information:
1. What was the best article or book related to education and/or teaching that you read this summer?
2. What was the best non-work-related book you read this summer?
I’ll share the results anonymously in a future tip – hopefully we’ll end up with a list of books and articles related to teaching and learning that others may want to look over, as well as a “fun” list of everyone’s best summer reads.

Best book (work related) Visual Literacy: Learn to See, See to Learn.
Best book (for fun) was Woodsburner: A Novel by John Pipkin
It was very funny and based on a true event when Henry David Thoreau started a forest fire that destroyed three hundred acres of the Concord woods
