WK4 Project- Publishing/Leadership Project

I was at first very unmotivated about the publishing/leadership project this month until I found out what it actually was. I guess to work in this month's reading, I had failed to realize that by signing up for a Educational Media program, I was already making myself the board. I just needed to remind myself of that simple fact.

I thought the publishing project was just another summary or write-up of our Action Research Projects. Then, I realized that it was really the project that separated the men from the boys, the girls from the women, and the teachers from the do-ers. Upon signing up for the EMDT program, I kind of figured it was something that embraced my own animation projects I've been working on for some time. So, regardless of the program or things I was forced to do in the program, an assignment like the publishing project allows me to get a grade for something I was going to have to do anyway, if I am ever to successfully collaborate with others who are already well dug into the educational system, textbook publishers.

To top all of this off, my girlfriend suggested that I need to merge my brand of media with textbook publishers 'right NOW!!!', as she put it. She works up at the district's Ed Center, and always has the goods on contractors the district will be using, what they're up to, the kind of equipment they are going to buy, etc. So, her suggestion was simply a reminder for me, but a stern one nonetheless, that if I need to move beyond the 'those who cannot do, teach' framework. I'm going to have to take what i CAN DO first...and help others teach with it!!
