How ed leaders might use blogs...

Looking forward, I believe that blogging is a medium in which conversations can occur among peers that ultimately lead to the advancement of ideas.  Blogging, when used in conjunction with micro blogging (Twitter, etc.), enables educational leaders to utilize the internet as a larger-than-life discussion board.  Discussions can occur with the documentation of ideas being archived in perpetuity.

As a second strand of thought, I also believe that blogging can serve as an outlet for meaningful reflection upon one's thoughts, concerns, and ongoing activities.  By sharing your reflections publicly (or privately -- blogs can, after all, be private) it creates an ownership of and responsibility to one's actions, thoughts, and ideas.

By blogging, educational leaders are brought out from the isolation of their administrative duties and committed to an active, visible presence that allows for collegial support from other like-minded educational leaders.
