As a writing teacher I can personally attest to the fact that writing, modeling writing for students, and practicing writing only makes you a better writer, your students’ better writers, and is overall beneficial. From my personal experience I can directly relate this to using a Blog as an educational leader.
What a novel idea...using a BLOG is doing just that. Metacognition comes to mind, "thinking about thinking" (learned that from a great principal and I keep seeing it pop up!), as an educational leader it seems like a no brainer to use a Blog as a tool for continued inquiry.
Blogging is you thinking and writing your thoughts using the computer, the talk of an interview is hard to capture (Dana, 2010), yet you are capturing it in a Blog. Research proves journaling to be beneficial in so many settings, blogging is just that. As you write you are learning, reflecting, and receiving information from others. Blogs capture thinking as inquiry unfolds (Dana, 2010).
As an educational leader you can use a Blog to aide in reaching out to other professionals, continue your personal professional development, provide great insights to bettering your school, even to show your staff that you are, in fact, an instructional leader.
