The ½¿É«µ¼º½ Blog lead editor, Gerry Czerniawski, will be leading a 60-minute online workshop for the ½¿É«µ¼º½ BlogÌýdesigned to support both new and experienced writers who are interested in contributing to the blog. As Lead Editor of the ½¿É«µ¼º½ Blog, he will use this session to demystify the process of writing for an academic-facing blog while highlighting what makes a strong, engaging post for a broad educational research audience.
The workshop will explore the purpose and ethos of the ½¿É«µ¼º½ Blog, including how it aims to translate educational research into accessible, timely and impactful commentary. Gerry will discuss what editors look for in submissions, common pitfalls to avoid, and practical strategies for shaping ideas into concise, readable blog posts without losing academic rigour. Participants will also gain insight into pitching ideas, structuring posts effectively, and writing in a clear and engaging style suited to online readerships.
In addition, the session will introduce contributors to ½¿É«µ¼º½ Blog Special IssuesÌý²¹²Ô»å ½¿É«µ¼º½ Bites, outlining how these formats differ, what opportunities they offer writers, and how contributors can get involved.
The workshop is suitable for those who have never written a blog post before as well as more experienced contributors who want to refine their approach or better understand the editorial process. Time will be built into the session for questions and discussion, allowing participants to raise specific queries and reflect on their own writing ideas.
