As an experienced blogger of more than five years, I am well-versed on the practice of content curation and following the content stream of various blogs. I believe that blogging is a unique way for us to record our thoughts, ideas, and experiences in a journal like format online for others to read and participate in conversation through commenting.
We are living in an age of content sharing with the rise of social media and the evolution of online disciplines. Technology, specifically digital media, is a resource that leaders must use in order to meet their staff and students where the conversation takes place. I can think of many ways that educational leaders can use bloggers in their work.
1. A school blog could be used for communicating with parents. There many things that go on in a building and constant flow of information for parents. Setting up a blog to be used to keep parents informed would be one way to use blogging.
2. Instructional/Curriculum Blog - This type of blog could be used for teachers to post different resources they are using in their classroom for their students. This blog could be utilized by fellow teachers as well as for parents to see how they could help their students at home.
3. Share Insights and Ideas - Educational leaders are full of great ideas and strong visions, and a blog could be used to share these insights as well as get feedback from others.
