Educational Leaders Using Blogs

Educational leaders can use blogs as an effective way to collect data from parents, teachers or students. It opens up a line of communication that all school stakeholders can take part in. Educational leaders can also use blogs as a form of professional development for staff. Faculty can hold book studies and post their reflections and or inquiries on the blog site. Students can use blogs inside the classrooms with writing assignments and educational leaders can post feedback on the blogs as well. Blogs are an effective tool in education and can also be an effective tool in action research.

  1. I like your idea about administrators using blogs to open lines of communication for stakeholders. Many times stakeholders, especially teachers, don't always want to be completely honest with their opinions for fear of reprocussions. Blogs can be a forum for collecting data and opinions anonymously. Thank you for the idea!
