“LERA Commons” Blogsite, a Powerful E-resource
The LERA Commons blogsite is an interactive website that allows LERA members and LERA communities to post information, advertise upcoming events, hold dialogue on current events in the field, post research, and share resources. We have a thriving community of individual perspective (single blogger) sites, and community sites as well. LERA Chapters, Committees, Industry Councils, and Interest Sections are all invited to take part in this powerful e-tool. Connect your members today.
How can I participate?
If you are an individual interested in blogging regularly or you have an infrequent guest blog article you’d like to post, please contact us at LERAoffice@illinois.edu and we’ll forward your request (please attach your CV) to the Blog Committee. If you represent one of our LERA communities, please let us know you are interested, and we can begin to build your own site. Your own blogsite is highly customizable for your needs, interactive with the public and your members, and, best of all, can be edited by you online.
