Here are some guidelines created to help you write and structure your blog. Follow these steps and you will write a relevant, interesting blog:
- Give the blog posting a title that will catch the reader’s eye.
- Put the main point in the first paragraph. This is the first thing readers see and it will make them want to read on.
- Try to write in a friendly and informal style. Use first person ‘I’ and try to include reference to your own context and teaching experience. Think about your readers and what they can learn from your experience.
- Try to describe rather than tell e.g. instead of saying you thought a book was great, try to explain why you enjoyed it and what you learned from it.
- Always be polite, respectful of other cultures and opinions, and informative.
Things to avoid
- Always try to avoid being negative. If there is something you don’t like, then it’s better just to not write about it.
- It’s important to raise issues, but don’t try to impose your beliefs on others.
- Never give specific names, places, addresses or contact details.
