Blogging isn't just for your students!!

Blogging is an efficient way an administrator can provide up to date data on their findings in an interactive format on the web. Through this format, the practitioner can combine text, images, as well as links to other blogs (Dana, 2009). It allows the practitioner to receive instant feedback, while keeping a journal of their commentary over time as well as that of others interested in the study. Blogging can also serve as a model to share both with teachers and students alike to show an administrator's vested interest in self reflection and journaling. Thus, if a busy administrator can take the time to model, self-reflect, journal, and share, then a teacher and/or student can as well. Consequently, this shows the administrator's vested interest and the value they place on learning.
