The HAPS blog site has been created to promote HAPS members sharing personal accounts of topics relevant to the HAPS membership and the larger community. The blog is the perfect place to publish content on a wide variety of topics, from teaching tips to A&P related camps or experiences. Ideal blog posts are between 300-500 words and contain a few images. As a blog author, you just need to provide your text and images – the HAPS Blog team will take care of editing and publication.
We invite everyone to join in the conversation and become part of the community. If you are an active HAPS member, you can become a blogger on HAPSblog in just a few easy steps:
1) Review the HAPS Blog guidelines.
2) Think up a topic that will be interesting to HAPS members. Topics that are likely to be interesting include the story of your first year teaching, integrating new methods in the classroom with real-time evaluation of how it is going, a multi-part series on a specific topic ranging from teaching to testing to building a new lab.
3) Propose your topic and timeframe in a short email to the HAPS Blog Master by emailing hapsblog@hapsconnect.org.
4) Start blogging!
