Experience on writing a good article • No single formula / recipe for success • Each blog has its unique style & target audience • Here is my consideration before writing!
Experience on writing a good article • Consider CAR Competence Autonomy Relatedness (Motivation: Self-determination theory)
Experience on writing a good article Competence- categorize articles into levels- use Chinese and simple wordings- use visual aids: image, video, animation, concept map, flow charts, flash games
Experience on writing a good article Autonomy- able to choose reading or not(appreciate students’ contribution)- able to read higher level contents- responses from passive/quiet students
Experience on writing a good article Relatedness- current issues/ hot topics- common misconceptions/ myths- well-known science events- related to TV programs/ commercials- my personal activities/ views/ sharing
