If you have more than one tech integration idea or project, we welcome multiple submissions.

• Proper citations and credits including live links to sources of images and pictures need to be included at the end of your submission and will be cited at the end of the post.

Submission Guidelines:

If your have a post that meets the guidelines above, you can send it to me in an email at science_geek73@hotmail.com. Please include the post in the body of the email itself or as an attachments (.doc file). Subject of email should be "Guest Blog Submission". 

In addition to managing Activities to Teach’s blog, social media sites, and Teachers Pay Teacher store, I work full time as a Technology Integration Coordinator at a large international school. While I check my email regularly, I tend to spend my Sunday reviewing guest post submissions weekly, so it might take me a week or two weeks to respond to your submission. I value everyone’s submission and time taken to submit, therefore I intend to respond to all guest blog submissions as to Activities To Teach acceptance or dismissal personally. If you do not hear back from me after 14 days, please feel free to email me to inquire

Thank you for your consideration of Guest Blogging with Activities to Teach. I look forward to reading your submission and working with you in our pursuit to collaborate on Technology in Education.
