I would like to encourage educational leaders to use blogs as a means of journaling for self-reflection, sharing ideas with others, and modeling. According to Nancy Fichtman Dana, journals or weblogs help you to capture your own thinking over time, which “can lead to critical insights into your administrative practice, insights that may only occur when you revisit a thought or when you string a number of thoughts together that have come to you intermittently over a longer period of time.”
It makes me a little uneasy to share my thoughts with the World Wide Web, but if I can do so, you can, too. You may have ideas that others are just waiting to read!
Dana further states that utilizing blogs is also one way of modeling the love of writing for students. It does not take a great deal of time, but the benefits for students will be well-worth it.
