Educational Leaders and Blogging

Blogging is a way of reflection and listing the thinking involved in a process. Educational leaders can collaborate with other leaders through a blog; feedback can be provided from anyone as blogging can link us to others in the world. Just as teachers can suffer from isolation in the classroom, principals can experience the same isolation. Many times there is only one administrator in a building or in a district; this lonely administrator can have feedback on his inquiry and reflections through the use of blogging. Even if feedback is not the goal of blogging, it provides a record of previous thinking for a leader. In reviewing prior thinking, a leader can gain insight into what the right or wrong decision may be. Blogging is tool that can hold great potential for a leader.
