Ways that educational leaders might use blogs

Blogs can be valuable tools for educational leaders. For one, a blog provides a way to track your own thinking as an inquiry progresses. This can be a valuable piece of data in itself, because the leader can identify patterns, rethink situations, or just reflect on progress. In addition, the blog can serve as a collaborative tool. Since principals are so often isolated from peers, blogs might provide a way for colleagues to connect, comment, and brainstorm solutions around their inquiries. Leaders could even link their blogs together and form a community of inquiring minds.
