//** developing as a critical, creative & reflective practitioner is like a journey into unfamiliar areas, which involves risk, opens up questions, creates more experiences than can be integrated at first, requires support, and yields personal and professional change **//

A portal to social media or other projects that extend beyond the programs of study of the [|Critical & Creative Thinking graduate program] at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Each visitor can choose their own level of involvement—from irregular visits to the links below perusing what others have posted to signing up for a project and receiving email notification of every change. The ideal for contributors is to extend the experiences that we value in face-to-face and person-to-person interactions and foster interactions that hadn't been happening off-line. To this end, we should:
 * articulate and affirm our personal and professional aspirations, including our desire to build supportive communities for our efforts.
 * provide resources to stimulate and advance projects that "facilitate learning and teaching innovation, research and public engagement, discussion and collaboration."
 * spark other kinds of generative that some of us hadn't anticipated.
