Blog Carnival – Participant Guide
WE INVITE YOU TO BLOG ABOUT EARLY LEARNING!
On the Early Learning Day of Action – June 5, 2013 – the National Women’s Law Center will be hosting a Blog for Early Learning blog carnival. And we want you to participate!
In April, a new early learning initiative was announced that will expand high-quality early learning opportunities for children ages birth to five. This plan is definitely bold. $75 billion dollars bold to be exact.
But now that the plan has been announced, it is our job to create a groundswell of support and move it forward. That’s why we’re asking bloggers to Blog for Early Learning by answering the question, “What would the implementation of the proposed Early Learning plan mean?” in your blog posts. You can talk about what significance it would hold for you, families you serve, students you teach, your community, the country as a whole – whichever angle compels you to write. Please feel free to include policy analysis, personal experiences, reports, graphs, photos, etc. in your blog posts!
NWLC will collect and publish links to the blog posts on the Early Learning Day of Action (June 5, 2013). Here are all the details you need to get involved in the blog carnival:
HOW TO SUBMIT A POST: Please email the following to Becka Wall (rwall@nwlc.org) by Monday, June 3, 2013 at 5:00pm ET.
- Your name and email address
- The link to your post (note: link does not need to be live by 5:00pm ET Monday – as long as it will be live by 9:00am ET on June 5 it’s fine!)
- Your Twitter handle, if you have one
WHAT WILL THE BLOG CARNIVAL PAGE LOOK LIKE? The blog carnival page will be hosted on NWLC’s blog and will feature links to blogs written by our participants. It will follow a format similar to our Blog for Equal Pay Day blog carnival. NWLC will not be cross-posting blog posts on to our website/blog.
TIMELINE: The deadline for submitting your blog post is Monday, June 3 by 5:00pm ET. The blog carnival will be published by 10:00am ET on June 5. Blog posts submitted after 5:00pm on June 3 are welcome but may be added to the blog carnival slightly later in the day on June 5.
WILL YOU BE TWEETING? Yes! NWLC (@nwlc) will be tweeting out all blog posts, as well as hosting a tweet chat from 2:00 – 3:00 Eastern on the hashtag #PreKforall. More details to follow.
