Blogs are a rapidly growing medium in all professional fields and have many uses in education. Through this action research project, this blog will serve as a collaboration forum. As I set about designing my inquiry, my peers, as well as the general public, have the opportunity to comment and offer their expertise to my design. As I go through the data collection process, input from other professionals allows me to see data from different angles. As I reflect and set out to exact change in my classroom, others can benefit from my experiences by applying similar changes to their classrooms or investigating a new question brought about patterns found in my data.
Blogs also offer an excellent opportunity for educational leaders to brag on their staff. Principals can maintain blogs to keep the district and community up-to-speed on the goings-on in their buildings. Pictures and quick blurbs can boast classroom successes and building accomplishments while showcasing teachers and students.
How have you seen educational leadership use blogs?

ReplyDeleteI really like your idea about having a "bragging" blog. What a positive way to publicize the good things that are happening at our schools!
