How Educational Leaders Might Use Blogs

Educational leaders might use blogs to compliment their data collection toolbox.  Through coursework, aspiring practitioners learn the value of data in reshaping campus improvement.  Weblogs serve as an interactive strategy for practitioners to “capture their thinking as inquiry unfolds” (Dana, 2009, p. 87) in an authentic way which in turn encourages insightful collaboration from others through virtual feedback.  In keeping with the 21st Century classroom, Weblogs can benefit teachers and students as well.
