Reading starts

So, I am feeling like I am drinking from a firehose! This week, I started my annotated bibliography for the following authors that I read up to this point:
Tennant
Minnich (ugh!)
Merriam et al (read 1st edition now need to complete 3rd edition)
Brookfield (article on Adult Learning as well as the book on Critial Learning)

I have been trying to update my personal case study with information from these books.
I had a very challenging week trying to work with my group partner. We had a tremendous mis-communication because of our different styles. I was very worried that we would have to write one paper together for the final project. But, it was with great relief that I reviewed the requiremnents and found that we each submit our own work! Whew!
I also started reading a compilation of articles on the Brain and Learning from Jossey-Bass. The readings in this book so far lead me to believe that there are many differing opinions about the different areas of the brain and what their functions are. What is also glaringly obvious is that there is not alot that is known for sure about how learning occurs in the brain. There is a lot of room for additional research.

Because of the Brookfield reading, I have started to think about looking into Habermas and the Frankfort Institute. Although, I think that this may be more of a challenge than I can handle at this point.

I still need to get my ISP written. Not sure why this is such a challenge!
