The MOST important things I've done this past year for my personal and professional growth are attend live and listen to recordings to as many Future of Education and, to a lesser degree, Classroom 2.0 interviews on Blackboard Collaborate, iTunes, and their respective websites, as time / life allows.  My views and understanding of Education have become so much clearer over the past 3 years, I feel as though I'm finally putting key pieces together.  

Now I feel as though I have to interact with others here to help continually evolve my understanding, and develop my voice.  I may say some pretty "out-there" things, here and at school, so I need to learn to discern when and where to say what I'm thinking.  I've often said that "I just say what I'm thinking", but I've been though a few bad experiences where I've stopped saying what's on my mind.  At this point, I'm getting my "voice" back, and have to re-learn how to read people around me with the bigger picture in mind, and more carefully choose what to share and when.  Also, I tend to use way too many words to try to get my point across 8-)
