How educational leaders can use blogs...


     I know blogging isn't a new concept, but it's a bit new to me. I've been asked to share ways educational leaders can use blogs. I know the more I think about it, the more things I will come up with but here are my thoughts on it at this point. Educational leaders can use blogs as a journal. Blogging is an excellent way to share ideas. It’s a great way to get feedback on thoughts you have—such a wide variety of people can be reached and someone, somewhere has experienced what you are thinking. It’s a great way to get things out there and receive different perspectives. Blogging allows you the opportunity to discuss current issues with colleagues near and far. It's a convenient way to share things because responses can be made at any time. Blogs can also be used to communicate with parents and students. The possibilities are endless!

  1. Blogging may not be a new concept but it is new for me. Prior to this week I would have never dreamed of blogging. I am excited about being able to communicate with parents through a blog. You are right that the possibilities are endless. I could have fun teaching blogging in a high school class. It would be a fun way to do journal entries as well as peer feedback.

  2. I am right there with you. Blogging is definitely new to me and I really never saw myself as a "blogger", but through this journey I am on to get my masters degree I am beginning to see a real purpose. I like what you wrote about receiving different perspectives, I can see that as such a huge benefit. I am really impressed with how you set up your blog. Great job!
