Week 4-Leadership Project blog 3

Things are looking better for my plan. I called Macul and found I was right that they don't call for speakers till August or September. In talking to the Macul person she suggested to me that I submit an article on my research for their journal. She's emailed me the link to the information. Having looked over the info I've found the article should only be between 500 -1000 words. Considering I've already written a document over 2000 words on my research this should be easy. I'm going to submit that right away. I will also submit my application for becoming a speaker in the fall when they first put out a call. I've talked with Joe and he agrees with my plan, so things are looking great.

I'm interested in submitting myself as a speaker for the Macul conference. This is the venue that would be ideal to present my Action Research Project. Macul stands for Michigan Association for Computer Users in Learning. This organization is affiliated with ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education). Every March Macul puts on a three day conference in Michigan rotating between Detroit and Grand Rapids. This conference draws between 4000-5000 participants. I've attended two of these conferences. It's one of the larger conferences of this type in the nation.
