Part of the Goals 2010 Challenge Series, Goal 2
Many bloggers would like to expand their readership for the New Year! If you are proud of your work, then this is only natural. Moreover, as a new blogger you might have some posts you are proud of, but hardly received the traffic you would have liked. Unfortunately, many of your new readers will probably never read through your former readings. For this reason, I like to contribute to various blog carnivals. Each carnival is hosted on a blog. The host features various blogs from different bloggers that fit a category, topic, or theme. The host will highlight favorite parts of the post. Sometimes, only a few are selected.
How to Contribute
To accomplish this task do the following:
- Visit the education category of the blog carnival. Browse through each to enter the ones you would like.
- Fill out the submission form with the necessary details. Here are links to submission forms of some of my favorite education blog carnivals:
- ESL/EFL/ELL Carnival- the next one will be hosted here! Submit any post related to helping English language learners or closing the achievement gap for English language learners.
- The Edge of Education- hosted by We Teach, We Learn. Submit any post which features your edgy teaching methods!
- If you do not have a blog, then leave a comment instead on one of the carnivals. You may find some new blogs you like!
Upcoming Carnival on this Blog
Why not contribute a post to the ESL/EFL/ELL Blog Carnival that will be hosted by Teacher Reboot Camp? The deadline is January 30th. I will host the next one and Karenne Sylvester at Kalinago English: Teaching Speaking Using Technology will host the following one on April 1st.
Contribute your post by using this simple submission form. For more information or to host a future ESL/EFL/ELL Blog Carnival, please visit Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day!

I’ve found a carnival I like, but am nervous about submitting something. Still working on goal 2 but hopefully I will have it complete today. Wrote a blog entry about my anxiety: http://education-reflections.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-carnivals.html
Online Master’s degrees can benefit a large variety of people, but they are not for everyone. Only those who can stay focused and disciplined in the face of numerous distractions can truly benefit from distance learning Master’s degrees.
Since most distance learning programs are offered online, students have the flexibility to learn wherever they can find an Internet connection, even if they are on vacation or staying with family.
The Blog Carnival is a great idea that I can build into my ESL/ EFL teacher self-development methods training course.
I also volunteer to write as a guest Blogger.
My course is ready to pilot, and I am looking for ESL teacher volunteers to test the coursee.
