Educational Leaders can use blogs in many ways. Personal reflection, a vehicle for communication, and means for acquiring quick and efficient feedback are a few of their uses. They can be used in the classroom to promote student interaction on discussion topics, post assignments and as a source of additional resources for the students to check out to learn more. They are a great way to keep students and parents updated on what is going on in the classroom or on campus and the information can be assessed anytime from anywhere.
Collaboration is another important way for blogs to be used in education. Teachers, principals, and campus leaders can share a variety of information and at their convenience share their thoughts, ideas and suggestions on the educational challenges faced in public education today. They can also connect you to a larger audience and provide you with new perspectives and experiences from across the globe.
In addition, the use of blogs demonstrates a commitment by the educational leader to develop 21st century technology skills to help them keep up with the learning styles and interests of today's students.
