Community of Practice – Blog-A-Thon

Join us on Wednesday to learn more about the conference blog-a-thon and how to get involved.

This meeting takes place in Whereby, and you don't need to download an app as it's a browser based platform. Check which browsers are supported and find out how to join. 

So what’s the Blog-A-Thon?

Now, the Blog-A-Thon is on November 4th, the first day of the conference, and the idea is that we’re going to take to our blogs to read, respond and connect. You’ll be able to find and navigate between the posts via the conference site, and post your comments. We’re also planning for some good old-fashioned radio coming to you live with bloggers chatting about blogging and playing the soundtrack to their stories.

How it all began

It all started at the beginning of this year when a few brave souls got together to found Bloggers Anonymous, Reclaim’s Community of Practice for Bloggers in Higher Ed. It started small, with a dedicated channel on Discord, and a monthly meeting. A few of us got to together to talk about blogging, and blog about blogging… and before we knew it the RSS feed that folk were adding their blogs to was pinging with the sound of fresh blog posts, hot off the press. If you’d like to find out more about this Community of Practice, check out the story so far over on the Reclaim Blog.
