After completing the reading for this week, I feel overwhelmed with everything I have taken in. My mind feels like it is on overdrive...I guess just as an educational leader probably feels every day. I thought of myself as a future leader and though I am not a tech savvy person, yet, I could definitely see how blogging could be a very beneficial tool.
There are many ways that an educational leader might use a blog. This could be a place for a leader to capture their own thoughts as the inquiry from action research unfolds. The information is stored so that it can be shared or referred to at a later time. Educational leaders can monitor and share information regarding their research projects with other leaders. An educational leader could utilize a blog to keep their campus members up to date regarding meeting minutes, ideas from staff, curriculum information, and topics related to department and grade levels. It is a tool that leaders can use to engage with their staff, community, and district. Ultimately, a blog is an ideal place for leaders to reflect on current issues, actions, successes, and concerns.
I even thought you could eliminate some meetings if you posted a topic to discuss and teachers would post their comments through out the week.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to your blog!
You are right that there are many uses for blogs. I Think that the use for sharing information with your school and community makes it a great and useful tool. In this current climate that we live in, there are so many ways to communicate with all of the technology choices out there. Blogs have found their place, and I believe will be around for a long time.
