Educational Leaders and Blogs

Blogs can be a wonderful tool for educational leaders.  Sometimes there are only a few educational leaders within a school or district, depending on the size.  Because of this, there are limited opportunities for collaboration.  A blog allows for more networking opportunities.  They allow leaders, who might not otherwise ever meet or speak and who might be great distances away from one another, to discuss important issues in their schools and districts.  Recording your thoughts in writing is sometimes a lot better for reflection purposes than having a conversation with someone face to face or over the phone.  You can always refer back to your thoughts or those of others to make changes that are needed.
