Publishing Leadership Project: Thinking out loud II

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.

WK3: Think out loud Blog Post 1

I am looking at the Publishing Leadership Project, and as I reflect on the fallacy I have labored under for 2 weeks that this was an optional project, I think to myself where the H311 Did I get this information from!! It reminds me of the value of good information, the disaster of operating under faulty information, and the blessing God has given me to have this degree the level of seriousness for this program thus far. It is truly been a ride and a few years ago, it would have eaten me alive!

But I digress…

After chatting with "Instructor B". over the parameters of the project, I am able to shake my procedural bout of “pre-project” butterflies about this thing and get into it with the same zeal I have been doing everything non-Lit Review the last year.

As I reflect on my path in the CBR, I thought very much about the twists and turns I have taken in my CBR and I would very much like to spend a little more time going into a potential course of action for a Phase Three based on the challenges that I have observed based in my research. It would be a perfect way to add some form of personal commentary in a type of research that does not allow for any. I thought about speaking to some of that here but did a 180, as it would negate the need for me to do the Project and I would still have to do it anyway.

...Irony at it’s finest.
