Audience and Genre

In this blog post I will identify two specific audience groups that may be interested in my research. For each group I will identify publication locations and examples.

Parents

Every parent wants the best for their children, and if what I have to say might affect the education of their children, parents are going to listen. Two locations that I might publish my research are online at NY times and WSJ. For both locations, a standard Op-Ed article format would suffice.

• NYtimes.com
• "10 year deadline to offer computer science to all students" 
• "A computer network that links all school districts"
• WSJ.com
• "Artificial skin that knows when it gets touched"
• "Charter Network Makes the Grade in N.J. School"

Educators

Educators, of course, have a passion for teaching others and showing others the beauty of knowledge. If I have something positive to add to the material educators use, educators are likely to pay attention to what I have to say on the matter. Writing a tutorial for ALA.org would be one example of a location and genre for educators. Another example is an article on Edutopia.org.

• ALA.org
• Cloud Computing
• Tablet Computers
•   Edutopia.org
• "Computer Science: The Future of Education"
• "The Pros and Cons of Computer Labs"
