I think that if most of us kind of agree with the book, we might not come up with the right questions, and until we have all the questions out there, we won't necessarily see the whole picture (and be able to solve the whole problem)!

Since I am not sure we have decided exactly how we will proceed with the online discussion, would it be best to tell Bea and Chuck I will get back to them with those details?

> On April 8th my M.S.A.D. 75 colleagues and I had the good fortune to attend the ASCD conference where you and Chuck Schwahn presented the ideas from your new book, Inevitable. I sat in my chair agreeing with all you had to say about customizing learning for all students.

> About a month ago, our Maine Technology Integrator Group discussed the possibility of conducting an online summer book discussion group. We all agreed there were many great books we could read, but Inevitable was the book the majority of us wanted to read and discuss online.

> Since our decision to read Inevitable, tech integrators have ordered the book or downloaded the Kindle version. We have talked about how to set up the discussion and have set up some guidelines for participation. There is great excitement to learn about mass customization of learning. Within our group we feel and see how technology is the tool that can allow us to finally customize learning efficiently and effectively for all students.
>
> During our planning I mentioned I thought having you and Chuck participate occasionally might help participants get clarification from you directly about ideas. I also thought it might be beneficial for you and Chuck to see how our conversations transpire and evolve.

> Participation is very simple and relaxed! We have set up a Google Site with web pages for each chapter. Participants will add their comments, questions, thoughts and ideas, and respond to what other participants have posted as they read the chapters.

> Sadly, we are a non funded group of technology integrators, which means we can not afford to offer you a fee for participating. We can only offer a lively discussion and collaborative problem solving about ways we can mass customize learning for students using technology.
