I\u2019m hoping they\u2019ll serve as bite-sized chunks of information that will give people interested in education new things to think about and discuss. In addition to my own posts, I\u2019ll be inviting contributors from all walks of life to share their ideas as well.<\/p>\n<p>The posts on this blog will be loosely organized into three categories: Education, Research and Personal Reflection. Posts under the broad topic of \u201ceducation\u201d will focus on some of my favourite topics, like \u201ceducational aims,\u201d the importance of \u201cpurpose and efficacy\u201d in teaching, curriculum theory, and philosophical aspects of teaching and learning. Posts under \u201cResearch\u201d will focus on finding, evaluating and responding to educational research, as well as ideas on how to increase our capacity to engage with research. It will also include updates and insights into some of my own research projects. The final category \u2013 Personal Reflection \u2013 is kind of a \u201cwild card.\u201d Posts in this section will include personal insights from guest authors and me about education and educationally-related (and most likely unrelated!) topics.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in contributing a post, please feel free to get in touch. Here\u2019s how you can do that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Email me at: <a href=\"mailto:Smithk26@cardiff.ac.uk\">Smithk26@cardiff.ac.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Put \u201c800 words or less\u201d in the subject line<\/li>\n<li>In the body of the email, write a short description of the topic you&#8217;d like to write about and why, and I\u2019ll get back to you as soon as I can.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s my hope this blog will provide a broad range of ideas about different educational topics from a variety of people and places.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now that\u2019s done.
