Educational leaders can use blogs to share their research and findings with others. Because blogging is world-wide the typical logistical problem that are inherent with traditional meetings of colleagues simply are not an issue.
Educational leaders can also use blogs as a reflective tool. By writing about their experiences they are more likely to think through the process carefully and discover any anomalies that may have not been visible at first. Also by sharing their process with others they get feedback from different points of view which allows them to look at a problem from more than one angle.
Lastly, educational leaders can use blogs to as a means to encourage themselves to try out new ideas, work outside the box, and step outside their comfort zones. Surely there are many other uses of blogs for educational leaders. Please post your ideas.
Dee, I agree with your reasons for why blogs are useful for educational leaders. It definitely is a great tool for being reflective. I enjoy writing and this is the first time I have ever "blogged"; however, I enjoy reading other blogs, and just reading how people think. Thanks for sharing.
