Pain-Free Blogging Webinar for Competency Education Innovators:
How to (Quickly) Turn Your Passion into Words
CompetencyWorks is an initiative launching mid-May to support competency education innovators in sharing their knowledge and learning about best practices across the country. The resources on CompetencyWorks will be by innovators for innovators as we seek to create an education system in which students master the skills and dispositions they will need throughout their lives.
This webinar is designed to introduce practitioners, educational leadership, and community members to the basics of blogging with a special focus on effective strategies for sharing your knowledge. Jami Bernard of Barncat Publishing will provide an overview for getting started, a number of tips to help you dodge common mistakes, and how to have fun blogging. Three participants will be selected beforehand to work with Jami to take their draft and transform it into a powerful post. Think of it as a digital fishbowl exercise.
There is some preparation for this webinar. First, we will ask you to fill out a quick survey to help Jami Bernard customize the webinar to the needs of the participants. Second, participants will be asked to submit a draft of a short blog posting on any topic related to competency education to Chris Sturgis at chris@metisnet.net by Monday April 30th. Third, we will select three people to receive individual coaching during the webinar with Jami Bernard. We will let you know by end of day Tuesday May 1st if you have been selected.
