Contribute to the VMTA Blog

1
VMTA Blog articles are shared publicly via the VMTA website.

Articles contributed to the VMTA 'Lesson Room' Series will remain on the website for several years as evergreen content to support educators.

Additionally, when launched, your article will be shared with the VMTA Membership via an eNews or eNotice edition, and promoted publicly via VMTA social media.

Consider...

Articles must be submitted via email to vmta@vmta.org.au in Word doc format

The article can be around 500 - 1000 words but less or more is fine

Upon submission, please highlight an "excerpt" passage of 1-2 sentences that can be used in a discretionary way to summarise the article for promotion purposes

If you consent to submitting a high quality image of yourself (and bio) for use, these must be provided at the time of article submission

Due to copyright requirements, the VMTA will source all other images for use

The due date for submission is generally one month in advance of publication

You can view other articles on the VMTA Blog here, and seek support via vmta@vmta.org.au

Lastly, VMTA members who contribute an article can have the time logged in myCPD.
