We would love to have an article about that as well.
A lot of teachers have told me, whilst they love the idea of submitting something, 4+ pages is probably just a bit much for them. To cater for that, we're going to try another way of submitting - "1 page, 1 idea". If you're running an activity in class that you want to tell the world about, see if you can squeeze it into just a single page. At least 1 picture please as well, it could be a diagram, photo or screenshot of some programming.
It doesn't have to be ground-breaking or extremely complex, what we're after is everyday experiences from everyday teachers. If you've got an idea that you want to run past me, please don't hesitate to email me privately if you wish.
Once compiled, each edition of the e-Journal will be available for free as a pdf download to anyone who is interested.
Please seriously consider writing an article. Our readers possess an amazing amount of knowledge that can benefit so many others out there in the classroom. The success of such a journal will be heavily dependent on contributions from the community.
