Blogs-How Educational leaders can use them.

Blogs are a wonderful tool available to educational leaders.  Blogs allow for networking with peers from anywhere, reflection on an issue of concern and feedback from other leaders who may have experienced the same issue.  In turn, they can give feedback to their peers, which allows for validation of the importance of their knowledge, experiences, ideas, and thoughts.  It removes the sense of isolation that so often is characteristic of a leadership position.  Leaders get a chance to celebrate successes and reflect on failures, while knowing they are not alone and getting advice from their peers in a non threatening environment.
