Blogs for Educational Leaders

Blogs can be very useful for an educational leader. They allow their writers to share information with many people without having to send a million emails. Administrators or other educational leaders can use blogs to hold faculty meetings. Instead of having a traditional meeting, they can post the information on a blog. Then the faculty can view that information at any time. Previous meetings can be viewed for those who were absent, or when it comes time to calculate professional development hours. By having the information on a blog, the time that was traditionally given for meetings can be used for PLC or action research time. This is much more efficient. Secondly, blogs can be used to share information about technology. Technology facilitators can post new ideas, tools, techniques, activities, or lessons pertaining to technology or any other department of education. Finally, blogs can be used as a form of reflection. If teachers or leaders were conducting an action research plan, they can post their findings on a blog. Therefore keeping everyone informed of what was going on with the research. There are various different ways blogs can be used for educational leaders; these are just to name a few.
