10 Recommended Blogging Ideas for African TEACHERS

I have always maintained that teachers should go into blogging. Aside the benefit of creating a second income, blogging benefits the average teacher in more ways than one.

-          Blogging gives teachers a voice in a world where no one gives them a voice.

-          Blogging is one of the best platform to build a brand visibility globally, even if one is operating from the remotest part of Africa.

-          With blogging, you can be globally-connected for mutual benefit.

-          Blogging helps teachers develop a writing skill.

-          The joy of solving problem is enough motivation for teachers (who are already in the business of solving the greatest human problem, illiteracy) to go into blogging.

And the truth is that when you dedicate yourself as a teacher and blog well, you end up creating a lifetime wealth base for yourself.

Hence, African teachers should be encouraged to go into blogging.

But one question of many teachers about blogging has always been, ‘what should I blog about’?

The simple answer to that question is: many things.

Teachers are wealthy with contents that they are not in lack of what to blog about. I have just helped you by selecting these 10 areas where I am sure teachers have comparative advantage of experience and expertise to carve out niche in blogging.

#1. Classroom tips

With years of experience in the classroom, the average teacher can easily blog about topics that discuss how to succeed in the classroom. Such topics can be of great help to upcoming teachers.

#2. School management

The average teacher with say, five years or more experience in the school system, if observant enough, can easily blog on topics related to school management. Bet me, this is a very hot topic that can stand a teacher out.

#3. English Language classroom

English Language is the one of the most-used language in global communications today. In fact, it has come to be a Lingua Franca for many nations who are not the original speakers. It is widely used in politics, business, education and other major fields of human interactions. Hence, a lot of people are in search of quality work on the fundamentals of English Language, both in spoken and written format.

This is a great opportunity for English teachers who believe they have what it takes to teach it, to blog about it.

#4. Child Psychology and Parenting

No man does the job of parenting better than teachers. Teachers are great child psychologists. Teachers are already transforming hitherto wayward kids into responsible teachers, employing tactics that surpasses conventional parenting.

Turning this experience and expertise into blogging is the best way to help parents and young children out there.

#5. Math tutorial

Math as a subject is one area both parents and school children are always seeking solution for. And this is a global challenge.

Blogging about Math-related topics at whatever level is a big fish that profits both the blogger and the world at large.

#6. Native language

Blogging about native languages is one of the less-explored blogging niches, but with great potentials.

You might be shocked to know that a lot of people are searching the net each passing day on how to learn a new language, even those seemingly unimportant languages.

One great benefits of blogging in this niche is that you can easily earn big on it because many people are not into it.

Think of the joy of touching lives as well as making a buck out of it over what appeared at first as an inferior subject.

#7. Technology education

With the surge in the quest for a technology-driven education across the globe due to the current digital revolution, schools and individual educators are on hot search to learn one thing or the other to help their e-learning advancement need.

So, if you’re already grounded in this area, you should blog about it. By so doing, you will be solving problem for others, and possibly money problem for yourself.

#8. Career development

Teachers are career people, and over the years have mastered the painstaking path of career development. Hence, it will be easy for the average teacher to blog about this hot topic.

A lot of people out there need direction in their career advancement journey. Going into this blogging niche is another way to solve problems for others and also make a buck out of it.

#9. General sciences

General science is a blogging niche worth mentioning here. This is because of the high demand of expert science teachers across the globe.

You can decide to choose only one aspect of science, where you’re an authority and write expertly on it.

I urge teachers of science-related subjects to blog on this niche.

#10. Other academic topics

Another thing you can possibly do as a teacher is to blog about many academic subjects related to a particular academic stage or more.

For instance, you might choose to blog about all the major subjects taken in any special examination. You may also choose to blog about all KS-2 subjects etc. in this case, your interest is to serve a particular category.

In fact this might be the best bet for most Primary School teachers who handle virtually all the classroom subjects for their classes.

The point here is this: if you can teach your local ks-2 children all those subjects expertly, you can as well blog about them at the same time, thereby profiting other school children at the same stage across the globe.

While this post serves the interest of teachers all over the world, I primarily wrote this to challenge African teachers, many of who have always been scared of going into blogging for want of blogging contents.

From this post, you can see that as a teacher, you have so much to write about beyond what you’ve always limited yourself to.

You can begin today and make it happen. We are here to support you.
