There are many ways an
educational leader can use a blog. Besides using it to keep thoughts and
questions together about a particular topic, a principal can receive feedback
on those same thoughts and questions because the blog is instantly on the
Internet. A blog is a great way for a principal to be in contact with other
administrators from different parts of the country. A blog also allows the
principal to see his or her own progression of thoughts and decisions which
then gives an even greater insight into their own administrative practice. One
thing that makes a blog extremely useful is the fact that you can add links to
other web pages or images like charts and graphs to the data you are
collecting.

Blogs really are a great way to reflect, inspire and even prepare our students for becoming experienced in active research. We don't have to keep this idea only to administrators, but our students can benefit as well.
