Educational Leaders Use of Blogs

The use of blogs by educational leaders is extremely advantageous and useful. It can be a valuable resource and support system. It allows an educator to share their learning; thoughts; ideas; experiences; strategies; perspectives; successes; challenges; failures; and findings with other educators, the school community, the school district, and a varying audience on a global level. It also lets the educator simply journal and document inquiry for later reflection. It enables immediate feedback and collaboration without boundaries. This can spark change, inspiration, and creative learning environments. The end result that we all strive toward is student success. Educational blogs are a driving force to assist in this pursuit through our professional growth and development.

As an administrator, you can use blogs as a live news feed to relay information, answer questions, get data collection and analysis, and get feedback efficiently. Effective communication is thus enabled amongst followers keeping them involved and informed. Followers would include teachers, administrators, students, parents, and the school community alike.
