Week #3 Blog Post Comment #1 Lewis "Smitty" Smith

Wk3 Blog: Leadership Blog- The places I hope to be read well…

Following last weeks post I have narrowed the field down to two of the publications which I have been actively reading as a classroom teacher over the last 5 years. 
The first is the eSchool News. When I first was sent the invitation for a free subscription I found that it contained many advertisements and almost discarded it. Then I looked between the ads and found some really great applications that I could apply in my learning space right away. Part of my goal is to see the technology tools and systems I am employing through my CBR take hold and find success through replication, I would like to see the article accessible without having to be a paying subscriber or member of a journal organization. This opens the door to teachers that lack the means to afford membership, but are looking to innovate. Further information about submissions can be found here: eShcool News Submission Guidelines.


The second publication is again an approachable and readable non-scholarly publication that many people receive as part of their membership in the ISTE, called Learning and Leading with Technology. I have been reading this magazine for well over 12 years and as a technology specialist, grant coordinator, and of course classroom teacher, I found things monthly that applied to my various roles through out the years. The magazine has only gotten better with age, and the new online accessibility again offers a chance to share my experience and promote replication across teacher in many walks of life. It would be an honor to share and show my work here. Further information about submissions can be found here: Leading and Learning with Technology Submission Guidelines.
 
Smitty,
I have no doubt in my mind that you will get published in one of these. You have a way of getting your point across so eloquently. I get the eSchool News and really like it, I have not heard of the Leading & Learning magazine. Good Luck and hope to read your article.

  1. The Florida Educational Technology Conference sounds like a great plan. Sadly, I didn’t get to go to those conferences, the school I was working at that time didn’t want to pay for it and it was a lot of money to afford on my own. But the good thing is that the school I am working now has already sent me to a conference here in Kentucky for the Kentucky World Languages Conference. My co-worker got to be a presenter on one of the workshops last October. It was a great experience for her. Just make sure that if they provide the technology to give the presentation such as LCD projector, computer, etc. She had to bring her own material and technology aids for her presentation.
    I am sure that if you get it approve you will do great, specially that we are equipped with the appropriate tools to give a wonderful presentation after all the awesome classes we have taken during the last 11 months.
