Reposts

You may also consider reposting an inspiring article or blogpost that you have read elsewhere or you have posted somewhere else.
Please ensure if you are reposting a blog that you seek permission first from the original author of the post. (unless of course it was posted within the “Creative Commons” domain where it is considered public access).

Guidelines

• If you have an article in a file, copy all the text and paste it into the “Article copy” text box.
• The first paragraph should be a SHORT ‘introductory’ paragraph (less than 100 words) to be posted as a topic introduction.
• A FEATURE IMAGE is highly recommended.  The proportions are: 538 x 218 pixels at a density of 96 dpi. (The image must be free of all copyright encumbrances).
• Optimally, the title should appear in the first paragraph (not mandatory ).
• Short titles are preferred over long titles.
• Bold, Italic, and Underlined text is OK.
• Numbered or bulleted points are fine, but only one level deep. Nested points cannot be accommodated.
• Indicate quoted sentences by using italicized text.
  E.g. “The benefits of inclusion evident in the educational research are improved teaching, and better academic, social and behavioural outcomes.”
