How Educational Leaders Can Use Blogs

Educational leaders can utilize blogs as a form of online journaling. The user can trace the evolution of an idea, understand his or her thinking more deeply by reflecting on past entries, and gain clarity on thoughts. Blogs can help a learner understand their unique process of thinking and learning.
This type of thinking provides the type of reflection necessary for the type of inquiry related to action research."Reflecting on practice to become more intentional about what principals do is the foundation of engagement in action research" (Dana, pg. 150)
A blog is a platform for an educational leader to share their thinking with teachers, faculty, and parents. The blog can extend beyond the stakeholders of the campus to an even larger audience including other principals and creates opportunities for further collaboration.
