4C cJournal project
I’ve always liked the idea of a newsletter. Something about having curated information, opinions and teaching ideas regularly emailed appeals to me. One great one that I love is English Central’s monthly eNewsletter. Another thing I love about our industry is the collaboration we have the potential for. Being on Twitter and blogging has exploded this for me 1000%.
I never did one myself though because it didn’t really fit my intentions with Coursetree or 4C. But now, I’ve been inspired and it brings me to one collaborative idea I have for next year: 4C cJournal project (collaborative journal). Would you read a journal put together by your PLN? I would. How great would it be to have 100 different contributors of events, columns, reviews or news items put their ideas together? Because everyone’s busy, I’m aiming to have one issue every 6 months delivered to your inbox, launching with issue #1 in 2013.
If you sign up below, you’re not committing to contribution, but only to supporting the idea by receiving it and reading it!
BUT, if you think this would be something you’d like to be more actively involved in once, twice or regularly, please fill out this Call for Papers below (submission guidelines to follow). I’d love to work with you!
Hi Tyson,
Sounds like a really good initiative. Count me in, please.
Best,
Ann
Cheers, Ann. I look forward to your future contributions.
I like the idea, Tyson. But don’t you want to check first if there are already similar newsletters out there? I get Perlatech digest daily (http://paper.li/PearlaTECH/1319897462). Or do you have in mind something else? Not being critical, just trying to help you hone the idea :)
It’s not fleshed out entirely and definitely will not come out early in the year. I’m sure there are other newsletters out there and I know there are other journals, but this is sort of in between. And it’s definitely not that crappy paper.li site. I’ll have an open call for articles on a focus at some point.
Sounds good. You can always count me on for lexis :)
sorry I meant “count ON me”
Awesome, Leo. I look forward to reading any articles you write on lexis. =)
Sounds like a great idea Tyson. I’m in :)
Sounds good to me, Tyson. I will mull over some ideas. Would love to contribute and to learn from others as well!
Anytime you have the time, Nathan, I’ll welcome a submission.
Hi Tyson. Great idea!
Sounds great Tyson!
I’ll receive and read. Don’t know what I could write. I’ll mull it over.
MA revised paper? ;)
Hi Tyson, I’d be happy to contribute or just receive the journal.
Either or both, Ben. Just submit a proposal if something comes to mind you’d like to publish.
