Much of my writing has been in other places and related to the work I am doing in my doctoral program. As I am driving or exercising, I have been listening to audiobooks lately. Granted, they are not like reading a book where you can re&#45;read or easily refer back to something later.

I believe really good professional development is the key (probably one of many) in any effort at reform in the educational system. I don&#39;t know about most of you, but virtually all of the professional development I am on the receiving end of &#45;&#45; is poor. It usually consists of a presenter who lectures,&#8230;"

And how effective risk management is often times clouded by fear. There are lots of emerging technologies in our midst and on the horizon. What&#8230;"
