One of my personal favorite memories from 2011 was meeting the professors who participated in POSSE 2011 in Raleigh. In the digital world we now live in, you can go months or years before you actually get to put a name and face together and hold a real-time conversation, so I was excited when I heard POSSE was being held in Raleigh.

As we head into 2012, please let me know if you have ideas or feedback for this education community. My ears are always open.

Best wishes in 2012!
