Post 3 of 3: presenting my AR project--not publishing!

So I have had several hang ups with my lit review. This leads me to believe that my project may be more suitable for presenting. This was my first intention anyway. Three choices that had been suitable for my project involving how high schools are changing their news rooms to incorporate convergence media trends from the professional media outlets. The conferences I considered were:
1. TCEA (Texas Computer Educators Association).

2. ISTE (international Society for Technology in Education)
http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/2010/

3. JEA (Journalism Educators Association)
http://www.jea.org/workshops/index.html

The convention that I will apply to present is JEA. JEA holds two national conventions a year for journalism educators. In addition, one of my cycles was focused solely on JEA members. The next convention is Kansas City this fall and Anaheim in the Spring.

Post 2 of 3: narrowing down publishing choices for AR

After some confusion on my part about publishing or presenting my AR project, I blogged last time about presenting it. My natural tendency is to present, not publish. So since I did the presentation part of the project in the publishing arena, I need to back track and look for places to publish. Here are some ideas that I have researched.

This is from the International Journal of Advanced Media and Communication. Their journal emphasizes research in multimedia technologies, how it’s used, e-learning and protocols used in technology. This is probably not a good place as the emphasis seems to be on engineering and technology.

Another natural journal to consider is “Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media.” It is an online journal that has a variety of research that has a lot of international subjects involving media in other countries.

“New Media and Society” was another suitable journal. Articles seem much more in tune with my paper as topics range from citizen journalism to using social media. http://newmediaandsociety.com. References must be done Harvard style, so I would have to reformat this paper and I also don’t know what it means to provide names of referees.
