Blogging and Educational Leaders

The idea of blogging is very exciting.  It is a excellent tool for any educational leader to have.  A leader may use the blog in several ways, or they have have separate blogs designed for different purposes.  A leader may want to use the blog to post their own ideas just for their own personal use, to come back to them at a later time and revise them, or to save them for use on another project.  It could be used like a journal, or it could be used as a personal research tool.  

A leader may use the blog as a way to air out their ideas and gather comments from respected peers.  This is a way of getting different perspectives on one's thoughts.  Sometimes we have a great thought, but don't know where to go with it; ideas from peers may be just the stimulus we need.  Sometimes outside comments will give us the puzzle piece we have been missing!

A leader may want insight into problems they have encountered professional and seek professional advice or research on similar situations.  For whatever reason we want to use the blog, it seems to be an excellent tool that you can use at your own time and in your own place.  If you write it, they will come!
