Educational leaders can use blogs for a number of different things. Using a blog is a simple way for simple information to be passed along to a large number of people easily, that can easily be updated and referred to. It is however, limited to the number of people who “follow” your blog. It cannot be used as an exclusive source of information, but it is a great tool to have in the toolbox. Your administrative team can also interact using a blog, utilizing their mobile phones for relatively instant feedback on action items. Site security could be issue, so they would have to be careful what is being discussed.
Another great use of a blog is to host a virtual club. A Book Club comes to mind, where each week the facilitator assigns a section of the book to read, and members of the club post reflections, observations and questions that arise regarding the selection for the week. Teachers could even use it as a reading guide for assignments, to complement their classroom delivery of the material.
Teachers can also use blogs to post homework assignments and provide feedback to student questions that come up away from school during weekends or holidays.
