Get involved in the conversation

I am sitting at an education conference at my high school with teachers from all over the state. I am looking forward to the roundtable discussion where I will have the opportunity to sit down with other teacher in math and science to discuss different options for my classroom. Why am I not doing this more often? I need to discuss more often with more people and take advantage of the internet in order to do this. I need to make this a bigger part of my education. This might be a goal for next year.
