Final Compilation Post
The purpose of the Resources in Digital Environments course was to prepare an article for publication. We have already been publishing on our ePortfolios since we started our journey towards gaining our master's degree, but the goal was to gain experience in how to develop an article specifically designed for publication. We were given the choice on whether we wanted to try and publish in an online journal, magazine, or other printed source. Like everything else in the program, we have been given COVA and were left to our own research to decide the direction we wanted to go. Each publication platform has unique requirements and steps to accomplish when preparing to submit, so as I explored my options, I narrowed the selections down to three different online platforms. I ultimately chose to write and attempt to get my article published through Education Week. I felt like this type of article would fit perfectly with the information I had already started researching when I started my literature review. I was able to continue my previous research and build upon it to create the article I was going to attempt to have published. I started the course by developing a publication outline for my article, a rough draft, and then a final draft for submission. I also prepared a media project to help illustrate my written ideas and connect to the heart of my audience. This course has given me new inspiration for what I am capable of doing as an educator. The idea of being published once felt grandiose, abstract, and almost unattainable. However, reflecting on this unique experience, I am grateful to have gained a frame of reference for submitting articles in the future. If my article is selected for publication, I will update my final course reflection with a link to the published article on the Education Week website.

Media can be an excellent tool to influence others and shape opinions on certain topics. The latest task in my Resources in the Digital Environment course was to construct a podcast to spark interest in our Innovation plan while connecting with the hearts of our audience. If you are currently in education and not using technology, you should step back and consider the disservice you are doing to your students.
