How Educators Can Use Blogs

"Journaling" is the term that we have used our entire lifetime to describe the idea of writing as a means of reflecting and voicing our thoughts upon life or a current situation.  In today's world of technology, we now refer to the word as "blogging."  Blogging allows administrators not only to capture their thinking related to school issues, but also allows them to share their thoughts with the world.  By opening the blog to others, a principal can receive feedback related to the issues discussed.  Also, a blog is a digital collection of thoughts produced over time; the administrator can gain new insights after revisiting thoughts (Dana, 2009).
