Dr. King Awarded $750 TAA Publication Grant

Dr. Kathleen P. King, a professor of education at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education in New York City, has been awarded a $750 TAA Publication Grant for expenses incurred in researching her co-edited book, The Professor’s Guide to Taming Technology: Leveraging Digital Media, Web 2.0 and More for Learning, which will be published by Information Age Publishing, Inc. in July 2010.

“This grant is not only a surprise and tremendous monetary help, it is extremely validating as well,” said King. “I am very grateful on each account. In the past, some of my books have been based on funded research or were less intensive in the editing process. However, this book has turned into a large project because we have a unique, very valuable contribution to the literature as our goal. From all of the TAA members, thank you for your forward thinking in providing a potential source of funding for us to pursue special projects that we might not be able to otherwise.”

The entire grant will be used to defray a good part of the costs King personally incurred in the book’s development, including research assistant searches, transcripts and copy editing assistance.

How You Can Apply for a TAA Publication Grant: Download a PDF form and mail to: TAA Executive Director Richard Hull, 3241 Heather Hill Lane, Tallahassee, FL 32309-2307. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2010. (You must be a member of TAA; however, according to Dr. King it is well worth the low cost and great benefits)

“There are many aspects to writing and editing an edited volume that are……
