milobo says Jul 04, 2008 03:13PM It looks like Brain Rules is the winner in our first Plurk-Book-Talk poll www.plurk.com/p/y3h2 Who's planning to participate?
mindelei will Jul 04, 2008 03:52PM need to see the reading schedule (I've got three classes 16 wk. classes crammed into a 6 wk. period).
milobo says Jul 04, 2008 03:52PM kwhobbes A wiki or a Diigo group to link the plurks might be a good way to keep things together.
Colemama says Jul 04, 2008 03:53PM I've been wanting to read it, so depending on the venue, would enjoy discussing!
karlyb asks Jul 04, 2008 03:58PM I don't know the book, but maybe could we do it chapter by chapter, one chapter a week? Break it up, allow you to join in as yr. time allows
KarinB says Jul 04, 2008 04:00PM I'm in...I like the idea of a chapter a week, if each chapter is in new plurk thread, will be easy to follow
mindelei says Jul 04, 2008 04:21PM I hadn't thought about getting the audio version - that could be helpful.
wsigele says Jul 04, 2008 04:31PM I'm willing to give it a shot! I'll be on vacation in Aug. for 2 weeks but...I'm in!
nononi is Jul 04, 2008 04:33PM in! chapter a week seems okay but i will buy it today and see if a more logical way emerges
milobo says Jul 04, 2008 05:52PM Since there are 12 brain rules in the book, we could divide it that way and do a different rule each week.
Teryl says Jul 04, 2008 05:57PM I'm in! Sounds like a great plan...one brain rule a week. I go back to school Aug. 4th.
karlyb says Jul 04, 2008 05:57PM that makes sense. Allows time for people to join. And won't miss out if on vacation.
Skip Z Jul 04, 2008 06:14PM I just ordered my copy along with - the title is worth the click (read LAT op-ed piece by the authors)- search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?EAN=9781596912830&x=4814407
milobo says Jul 04, 2008 07:43PM how about giving everyone a couple of weeks to get book & start reading, then starting Rule 1 discussion the week of July 21?
✿honeymic thinks Jul 04, 2008 07:51PM July 21st would be perfect for me as I have a road trip around then and can read during the drive.
milobo says Jul 04, 2008 10:23PM The week of July 21 it is! Any suggestions for where/how to share links to related info and store a link to each week's plurk discussion?
milobo says Jul 05, 2008 01:37PM I got mine in yesterday - I can't wait. I'll start a new plurk sometime today with my ideas on how we can organize.
ehelfant says Jul 05, 2008 07:14PM the companion website has stuff to go with each rule www.brainrules.net/the-rules its a good read
Colemama says Jul 05, 2008 07:28PM I created a Diigo group called "Brain Rules" Discussion - will try to send e-mail invites, but feel free to join & contribute!
milobo loves Jul 05, 2008 07:52PM colemama! One of my personal goals this summer was to learn Diigo and this is a great way to do it!
Durff says Jul 05, 2008 09:30PM I am! Is the platform here or on diigo? (I probably missed something). Anyone know how to grab the RSS feed to individual plurks?
JackieB Jul 05, 2008 09:32PM Durff Go to the plurk page (lower right of the replies). RSS feed is there.
Colemama says Jul 05, 2008 09:32PM durff *think* we'll be using Plurk for discussion and Diigo for resource/link share? Other ideas?
milobo says Jul 05, 2008 09:38PM that sounds like a good way to do it, colemama - discuss here and share links on Diigo.
GingerLewman Jul 06, 2008 02:38AM wonders if a Ning is too big for a book discussion. I like this...each rule gets an original plurk?
milobo says Jul 06, 2008 02:44AM Yes, each rule in a plurk is what we're thinking with links to resources and plurks on the Diigo group colemama set up for us.
milobo says Jul 06, 2008 02:45AM We're starting the week of July 21 to give everyone a chance to join the Diigo group and get the book.
KarinB says Jul 06, 2008 07:19PM just ordered Brain Rules on Amazon for $19.77, includes hardcover book & DVD.
smeech says Jul 07, 2008 03:24PM Have you check out: www.brainrules.net/pdf/BrainRules_JohnMedina_MediaKit.pdf
GingerLewman says Jul 07, 2008 04:00PM I listened to the intro and chapter 1 today. Will listen to chapter 2 later.
dmantz7 says Jul 08, 2008 08:18PM he will have to miss out on this conversation as the family will be on vacation. Will there be a site providing the discussion?
lfeld52 says Jul 08, 2008 08:21PM count me in. will probably read most on Friday when daughter is having surgery...
bknittle wishes Jul 17, 2008 05:21PM to participate, just got the book very interested in discussing it.
