Blogging proves useful for educational leaders, particularly in terms of reducing isolation and developing virtual networks for inquiry and support. Not only will administrators share their thoughts on issues and events at their own campuses, they will be able to see commonalities across campuses as they build relationships with other educational leaders who maintain blogs.
Additionally, administrators may work collaboratively in the inquiry process to develop possible solutions to issues they encounter and that may be systemic.
I really like your books on either side of your blog Melany. Very nice touch. Your idea about blogs reducing isolationism is spot on, especially for administrators. I think the lead principal of a school has to be the loneliest job in the world. The ungoing written communication would be so helpful in sharing concerns and ideas.
