The Benefit of Blogs for Educational Leaders

Blogs have several benefits to offer educational leaders. I will highlight just a few here. One of the perks of using a blog is that it allows educators to communicate with and learn from other educational leaders who may be hundreds of miles away. It instantly expands their scope of influence. These blogs allow principals to share learning, both successes and missteps, of their action research. Blogs can also be a benefit between principals, teachers, and/or other stakeholders. Principals can share learning with their staff members and get their feedback in a way that is non-threatening and convenient through the use of a blog. Teachers can share collaboratively with one another on a blog as well. The benefits seem to be many when blogging is done on a consistent basis.
