Writers are needed for article submissions in these general topic areas. New articles will be published weekly to bi-monthly.
Here is a list of the topic ideas we would like to see articles for. This is just a guide. You are free to write any type of article about education/learning that most interests you. If you are interested there is a good chance that others will be interested as well. Remember, this learning website is a portal for all people learning. I will not publish articles that attempt to degrade a specific type of learning choice. I believe that we each have to choose what works best for ourselves.
Using computer programs as your curriculum or as a supplement. Either the pros and/or cons, how-to, etc.
How using non-educational or educational games helps you learn. What, how, why, your views, etc.
