How Educational Leaders Can Use Blogs

Educational Leaders using blogs to communicate with school stakeholders is an underutilized resource. Blogging has become a journalistic tool. It is a great a way to publish news, ideas, rants, announcements, and ponderings very quickly, and without technical, editorial, and time constraints. It essentially makes anyone a columnist. Blogging will allow more people to contribute, which only makes schools and educational leaders to become more efficient with their own time and money. It is also a great way for educational leaders to communicate directly with school personnel and create two-way online conversations rather than just one.

People can follow blogs quickly through mobile devices or through reading on the internet. They can up-to-date information very quickly. Even if they aren't directly viewing the site, they can get updates from the blog through facebook or twitter.
