When you’re just starting blogging, figuring out where to start writing articles that people will read can be overwhelming. In this article, I share some tips and 52 blog post ideas for education bloggers in 2024.
The first thing I always suggest to people when trying to figure out what to blog about is brainstorming the top 5 or 10 different things people ask you about your topic. Write out the top 10 things parents or other teachers ask you. You can easily take each of these questions and write an individual blog post to answer each. Most of the articles on my website started from just that!
You can share your thoughts and opinions on current events in education, ed tech, blended learning, and online learning—the list goes on!
Whatever you decide to write about, think about it from your reader’s perspective. People want to know how you can help them, so show them!
I compiled this list of 52 blog post ideas for education bloggers in 2024 to jumpstart your creative juices. You can customize each one of these topics to fit your blog topic. Write one post each week, and you have a year’s worth of posts!

Writing is one of those skills that you just get better at the more you do it. You’ll also become a better writer the more you read. My best suggestion is to just get started. Pick one of these topics, write an article, and PUBLISH it.
It doesn’t have to be 1500 words or even 500 words. You will probably hate it and want to take it down from the internet, but you just have to do it. There’s no reason you can’t return to the article months or years down the road and edit it a bit as you become a better writer.
