How educational leaders might use blogs...

In using blogging to communicate in the school setting, administrators can communicate with their staff on an up-to-minute, daily, or even on a weekly basis. Blogs can be used to encourage professional development by providing a means of discussion for book studies. This type of communication is more like an open forum where, unlike email, everyone has access to the blog and everyone can communicate through it. With the ability of all stakeholders having access to blogs, everyone from the superintendent down to the teachers and support staff can and should have an open line of communication.
