I would be remiss in compiling a list such as this without recognizing an author who has truly been an mentor to me.  Allison Zmuda's (@compclass) Breaking Free from Myths about Teaching and Learning reminds us all of our responsibility to design lessons that spark students' imaginations.  May this book list spark yours.  Happy reading!
