Tips for blogging

What should I write about?

For example, you can scrutinize an evaluation from your point of view, modify into a blog text a successful seminar presentation you have given or write a comment on a topical theme.

How should I write?

• Write in a reader-centred and goal-oriented manner. Think about who your readers will be and write the text for them. Also give the objective of your blog post some thought.
• State the most important thing at the beginning of your text and give the background information later. This is the structure recommended for online texts.
• Write in a compact and concise manner. The recommended number of characters is 1,000–4,000 characters, including spaces. If your text is a long one, consider dividing it into more than one blog post.
• Use clear standard language as the readers may not all be education professionals.
• Also attach images to your blog post.
