- What I am thinking about
My thoughts are focused on the burgeoning effects to change education for better or worse, and I've been putting these thoughts down on paper and in videos (here and here) - What I am following right
now
I have been fascinated by the Occupy Wall Street movement since its inception. It is interesting because it represents the antithesis of current paradigms of political force. I follow posts randomly on Twitter. - Recent books I've enjoyed
I finished "Redirect: the surprising new science of psychological change" by Tim Wilson. It is my first book on the Kindle app on my iPad. More recently I read "The Coming Jobs War", and panned it on Amazon. I also had trouble with "The Innovative University: Changing the DNA of Higher Education from the Inside Out" by Clayton Christensen which was so bad I could only handle reading a few pages at a time.
About Me
Welcome to Alan Cheville's personal web site. This personal web site provides information on the various facets of my life. As my personal site, it reflects my own views which do not necessarily agree with the views of any organization I work for... In fact I would be ashamed if I was simply a doppelganger of my university, department, or agency.
Please poke around, explore the links to sites I use frequently, learn about the projects I am working on, learn more about me, connect via social networks, or browse through more abstract thoughts. While much of the information that appears here is mine, much more has been copied with attribution (if known), or shamelessly copied with the intent to preserve text and images that I find powerful, yet are in danger of vanishing due to the ephemeral nature of information on the internet.
So as Jed Clampett so eloquently put it, "Come on in, set a spell, take yore shoes off..."
