To blog is definitely the answer to that question. Blogging has never peeked my interest because I haven't spent much time on line and I am known as a digital immigrant. However, I do journal some and many times wish I would have written down some of the ideas I so quickly forgot. Now that I know much more about blogging, I can see it's relevance and how useful it can be to educational leaders.
First, blogging can be a significant tool for educators in storing and retrieving thoughts that can lead to new and deeper insights. It allows you to post thoughts you have and build upon them. With a blog you can also access your written thoughts from school, home, or on the road. Most importantly, one of the greatest advantages of having a blog is the collaboration and support between you and others who are interested and have knowledge of the topic you are blogging about. A great piece of advice I received from a superintendent was to keep in touch with others in your position and learn all you can from them. A blog is the best way for me to do that. How else could I share and learn from other educators who I can't see every day and live all over the world? A blog is useful in keeping educational leaders from being isolated to only those who are near them and provides a much wider open door to share and learn from others.
