Contributing to this website

Contributors are welcomed with open arms! I have produced a list of ways in which you or your pupils or students may contribute the website or newsletter. If that's something that interests you, please do the following:

1. Send me an idea first, rather than a completed article. It must be related to ICT (educational technology).
2. If students of yours are contributing, please make sure that your school's e-safety policy is adhered to.
3. All contributors are asked to agree to the terms and conditions set out below.

Terms and conditions for contributors

By contributing to any of our publications you agree to the following conditions:

• If you have not heard from us within 6 weeks of your submission, you may assume that we are unable to use the article. (To save time you may prefer to send us a proposal rather than a finished article.) Please indicate on your submission if the article is time-sensitive.
• The material you submit is original to the best of your knowledge, not blasphemous or dangerous and not subject to any restriction of use. If we publish your work, you undertake to indemnify us against any liability arising from any breach of confidentiality, copyright or other intellectual property right resulting from articles or other materials submitted for publication by you. You further undertake to indemnify us against all damages, losses, claims and costs (including without limitation all expenses incurred in conducting or defending any proceedings) resulting from materials submitted for publication by you. Also, you must not make statements which could be libellous, blasphemous, obscene, seek to incite racial hatred or otherwise break any national or international laws.
• If the article includes quotations or illustrations from other sources, it is your responsibility to clear permission (including permission to include people’s photos) and pay permission fees, if applicable.
• If we accept your submission we will endeavour to publish it within 3 months. You retain the copyright in your article, but we would appreciate it if you would agree not to submit the article to another publication before 6 weeks after we have published it.
• Wherever practicable, we will clear any changes to the contents of the article (beyond routine copy editing and technical changes needed to adapt the work for other media) and all changes of fact with you while there is still time to make changes. 
• Once submitted to us we may wish to publish the material in our other publications or online. You will be credited wherever all or substantial parts of your material are reproduced. Again, we won’t change the substance of the article without clearing it with you first.
• Article length: by negotiation, but usually 750 to 1500 words.
• When submitting an article for the first time, please include a head and shoulders photo if you’re comfortable with having your picture published, and a short (50 word) biography. Also indicate if you’re happy for readers to email you directly in response to the article.

Thank you.
