• Article Topic/Title 

  • Ready for It: Teacher Perspectives on Breaking Barriers to E-Portfolio Implementation in the Reading/Language Arts Classroom

 

• Where I plan to submit

  • Journal 1: Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education

  • Journal 2: Edutopia

 

• What is the connection to your innovation plan or initiative?

  • The connection to my innovation plan is to answer/understand why teachers feel the way they do about technology in the classroom. 

 

• How can this information help others?

  • The topic will explain why teachers feel like they do as the initiative while implementing e-Portfolios in the classroom. 

 

• Lessons learned or hoped to learn?

  • Lessons hoped to be learned include: How the teachers and stakeholders felt at the beginning vs. the end; the article will help with understanding the attitudes and perceptions from teachers and stakeholders when pursuing a change in an organization. 

 

• What digital resources will be included in your article? Briefly describe.

  • Google Sites

  • Schoology

  • Seesaw

 

• Think of your audience, digital presence, and the message you hope to communicate. 

  • The message I hope to communicate is for others to consider what to expect and consider as this type of disruptive innovation is pursued. 

 

• Audience: 

  • Upper elementary teachers-High School, administrators, and parents and additional stakeholders of an organization seeking change or understanding change towards an initiative. 

• Digital Presence: 

  • Linkedin

  • ASCD

  • TikTok series

  • YouTube

 

• Message I hope to communicate: 

  • I hope the message is communicated to administrators and stakeholders who are interested in implementing a similar initiative for their organization or school district, after the article is read. I believe that attitudes and perspectives are never thought of by a researcher; instead, topics similar to how it was initiated, conducted, what was used, and if it is well-done are reviewed and published.
