How can an educational leader use blogs?

Blogs are a great tool for an educational leader to use to capture the "thinking" of people involved.  In action research, there may not be concrete "data" that one can use to assess the inquiry proposed.  Sometimes, simply acquiring people's thoughts and combining them into survey type results can be just as important.  A blog is an instant way for an educational leader to, not only get other people's ideas about what they have posted, but also as a journal of their own thoughts and progress through an inquiry. It can serve as a journal of ideas, thoughts, results, and opinions of anything the educational leader needs to address.

  5. I do think blogs are a great way to gather opinions from faculty and staff. I do think that administrators will need to be careful if that is their goal to keep the posts internal. Private laundry shouldn't be aired in public and all.

  6. Louis, I totally agree. Technology can be a really good tool to use, but the users must remember that this is open to the public and the upmost professionalism must be kept to insure its integrity.
