Think aloud #2-April 2011

I am seriously considering several journals.  I will have to spend a day or two revisiting the submission guidelines and decide which one I will choose.

I have my ideas down to about four different journals that I think would definitely work for my project.

 

One is the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education.  The reason for this one is because my literature review dwells on how the wiki can be used in the classroom.  My AR project is more about how teachers can learn to use this particular type of technology and then use it in their classrooms.

Another choice is the Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, the reason for this choice is because of some of the content that my research shows and some of the subject matter that this particular journal covers.

 

I have also considered the journal TechTrends.  It is a journal covering as they say “a report of innovative practice” from the submission guidelines.  This is also a consideration since I am writing about using a Web 2.0 application that not everyone may be familiar with. 

I had also considered presenting at the eFolio conference, however, the deadline for consideration has passed.  It would also fit in there and I could do a third cycle using the participants in the conference to see how they learned about using a new technology.

This is where you are going to explain which journals you are going to send to and publish the links for the thinkalouds 1 and two.  Add pictures of the journals that you are going to send to.

Think Out Loud #1-April 2011

I am thinking now that I would rather write an article for a journal.  I am not quite sure which one.  There are probably several in the list that would work.

If I do a presentation 200 words per slide almost goes against what I have learned about presentations and not sure how to go about it.  What I would like to do is have a workshop where I actually teach how to use the wiki and see how the participants would use it.  Workshops might be available at conferences especially like the eFoli workshop that I was thinking about last month.

Since I have not been working for two years, I am not sure how I would be received at a conference.  I am not a joiner and do not currently belong to any organizations.  This AR project is more a professional development topic which could be used for any school.

I need to check out the different journals and go from there.
