How Can Educational Leaders Use Blogs?

I have to be honest...I am very new to blogs, and am still learning how they even work, but I can already see the benefits they provide to educational leaders.  I think that blogs can be a great resource to those looking to find groups of individuals with similar inquiries into their profession.  They are a great source of knowledge sharing, and can provide lines of communication that would not be there otherwise.  With a blog, it seems you can find information sharing on so many topics, and unlike websites that are set up to be purely informational, a blog is an actual ongoing communication of the subject.  You can post questions to others who may have new insight into your question, share your thoughts, and get almost instant responses that can assist in the construction of your next question. Educational leaders can use a blog to post information about what is going on with their campus, share information with faculty, parents and the community,  and even use it as a forum for all parties involved to post questions and ideas that can be used to structure new learning initiatives. I'm hoping to use this blog to share my learning in this program, and my progress on my action research plan throughout my internship.  I'm also looking forward to following my fellow classmates on their journeys with their projects.  Happy blogging!
