LIFE Inc. is an * education resource organization supporting family choice in learning. * We explore all facets of knowledge, education, and learning across a * broad spectrum of related interests, including IT; bridging the digital * divide; lifelong learning; alternative education including but not * limited to home education; democratic schools, community schools, * apprenticeships, and vocational education; multiple intelligence; * experiential education; library science and more. * We also welcome youth contributions, experiences and insights; * artwork; "how-tos"; commentary and opinions (clearly identified as * such). Please review our Submission Guidelines. We cannot include all * contributions in every issue, but will be sure to communicate editorial * decisions to contributors. The newsletter is published quarterly, with * Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall issues. Deadlines for contributions * are the 3rd Fridays of December, March, June, and September. > LIFE Lines Submissions Guidelines * DO try to keep articles at around 500 words. * DO include a brief bio if you submit an article. * DO include contact information. * DO write with your audience in mind, always considering that what may * seem very familiar to you may be completely foreign to someone else. So * spell things out (define acronyms), briefly explain theories and so * forth. * DO keep your work issues-based. We will not accept any contributions * that are vitriolic or that make personal attacks on anyone or * anything. Back up your opinions with references and resources. LIFE * Lines readers are presumed to be able to draw their own conclusions, * but must be provided with comprehensive background and information in * order to do so. * DO write with a positive attitude and language. * DO be sure to always include information on where readers can learn * more about something, and try to include appropriate and sufficient * references as needed. * DO write with humor, maturity and sincerity. * DO be very, very patient with your volunteer newsletter staff! This is * a work in progress, and like wine and cheese, it will get better with * age. * DON'T advertise for anything commercial. You may give your opinion on * a product, theory, curricula, etc., but do not actively endorse any * commercial product. Instead, give readers a place to go for more * information. This is an ethical issue for LIFE, Inc. We do not tell * families what they should do -- we present information and empower * families to decide for themselves. * DON'T try to use LIFE Lines for your personal sounding board. Our * mission is to inform, support and inspire. Yours should be, too. * DON'T include too much personal information if you value your privacy. * Remember this is also going out on the Internet and NOTHING on the * Internet is private. * If you're submitting children's work, *DO NOT* include their photos, * full names, addresses, phone numbers or even contact info. You may use * your own email for a contact address if you'd like. Just give your *child's first name, and the general area you're in. *DON'T be afraid to contact LIFE Inc. at info@lifeofflorida.org if you * have any questions. :-) * Please share this freely with anyone you think might be interested in * contributing! * Kindest regards, * Terri Willingham * *Editor, LIFE Lines * www.LIFEofFlorida?.org * info@LIFEofFlorida?.org
