The irony of this project, and many of the challenges that Full Sail University has offered me, is that for many years my technology Professional development growth has been stunted for lack of access to resources. Now I find myself many times overwhelmed with the wealth of resources available to me to the point that it paralyzes (albeit temporarily) movement on said resources. That being said, I am still on the fence with the type of places I would like to present my information to.
The only places I wanted to submit to without question were Edutopia
Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC), ISTE 2010, E-LEARN 2010 – World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare & Higher Education. TechTrends – Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning - Submission Guidelines
Outside of organizations who seemed to zero in specifically to what the scope of my research is and actual academic organizations interested in integration of technology in education, my thought process was to submit information locally and/or regionally and access the response accordingly before branching out to submit further. The exception to this approach was is Edutopia whose work has gained massive attention by me since my enrollment in EMDT.

John, I completely understand your feeling of being overwhelmed by all the resources we have now. I think the biggest challenge at this point is picking the few extra special resources we have and trying to implement those to perfection. Speaking for myself, gradual changes at our school are much more appreciated than a massive overhaul. I think the thing that stands out most about my Full Sail experience is how expansive my resource library has become.
