How can an educational leader use blogs..

Educational leaders need to be involved with some sort of social media, in this age of technology and use of social media by parents, students well just about everyone has some outlet to a social media.  What better way to get the word out about an academic achievement, changes to the school day/event, or what new and exciting innovation that is going on at your campus than to blog about it.  By sharing ones own experience with education and technology through a blog, a campus leader can better understand how technology can improve students, staff and their own learning.  Administrators can discuss issues and share ideas with other administrators and educators, which will create a living collaboration of thoughts from around the globe.  Blogging is also a great way to build your network of professional acquaintances, reflect on your own work, and keep in touch with current research and trends in education.
