Possible topics include: Rural possibilities: What unique opportunities does your rural environment provide? Rural innovations: What new and effective practices are you using that other rural residents should know about? Rural challenges: What changes would you like to see in your rural community, and how might they be brought about? Rural teaching: If you’re a rural educator, what is it like to teach your specific rural students (English learners, gifted-identified, etc.) about your specific subject (STEM, American history, foreign language, etc.). Rural news: What topics in the headlines (e.g., climate change, education debates, health care) matter to your rural community? Rural memories: How did growing up in a rural place affect your life trajectory? What rural stories do you long to tell? Blog posts should be between 800 and 1,000 words (approximately).
