How educational leaders can use blogs...

Blogging is a powerful tool that can be used to share news on the professional level and the personal level. As an educational leader one can use the blog format to share news with the staff members, students, and outside community. A blog can be used differently from a campus website because with a blog outsiders can communicate and respond to the news with the leadership team and with each other. The blog gives 24/7 access to all campus stakeholders and creates an interactive medium where ideas can be shared. A school leader can gather insight on the reaction to campus happenings and can reflect and formulate ideas based on the feelings of the community; the blog creates community wide connectivity.
