Using Blogs as an Educational Leader

I believe that the best ways an educational leader can use a blog is for reflection and as a way of helping yourself and other administrators become better leaders. Being an administrator is very stressful job and the best way to relieve some of the stress is by writing it down and reflecting on the reasons for the stress. Administrators must keep their composure and be professional at all times because they are the educational leaders of the school so the best way to vent is by writing it down and sharing it with other leaders. Journaling the ideas and findings they learn when they are researching different inquiries can help administrators in the long run. When an administrator uses a blog to journal his or her thoughts throughout an inquiry, he or she can always look back at the steps that lead to the findings and make adjustments. Other administrators can use the blog as a way to learn and also suggest ideas that will make the action research a greater success. To become a great administrator, one needs to always be a student and the best way to learn is from what other administrators have experienced throughout their career. Overall, the blogs can become administrative classrooms where at times the leaders will be the students and at times they will be the teachers but the best thing is that it will be documented.
