Why not share it with others? This session will help you think about publishing a book, including planning, platforms, and publishing strategies.","Description":"The focus of this conversation is both practical and philosophical. Educators invested in project-based learning often wonder how to bring these ideas to larger audiences. Writing a book is a way to do this. It\u2019s also useful for building a professional brand and establishing yourself as an expert.\r\n\r\nPart 1 of this conversation will be an overview of how books get written and published today. Both e-books and physical books have evolved in recent years and the process has gotten easier and more accessible. Authors can choose to work with a publisher, or self-publish, and we will discuss the pros and cons of these choices.\r\n\r\nPart 2 will be about the process and logistics of writing a book, including tools and platforms, understanding the editing process, layout, and more.\r\n\r\nPart 3 will offer participants a chance to share their ideas for writing a book and get feedback from the audience.","Link":["https:\/\/sylviamartinez.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Participants will share their ideas that might make a good book.

I should have thought of this earlier with enough time to ask people. But if you think that would be a good idea, let me know.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":10}}
