Blogs for Educational Leaders

Starting this blog today I have discovered a whole new world out there! Educators with blogs! There are many ways to use a blog as an educational leader. The blogs can be learning tools and help guide teachers that are embarrassed to ask questions or that might need a new way to teach a concept. Teachers have blogs that show what is going on in class, recapping what they have learned for the week, showing links and tips to help their students soar through their class! One very helpful type blog is specifically designed to help fellow educators with a certain subject that they teach! This is perfect for first year teachers trying to survive! One of my favorite types of blogs geared towards parents where the principal creates the blogs explaining what new procedures, news, events and such are coming up. The way educators might use blogs are endless. As I discover more blogs I will post them for you to see.


Here are a few examples of educators using blogs in a great way:

  2. I especially like the idea of having blogs for new teachers. The district central office should have a blog for the new teachers to the district. It could include all the little things the veteran teachers know and take for granted...like policy for calling in absences or how to change your address...little things that are really important. We have several new teachers on my campus this year and a blog could really help them out. Also, great idea to post the addresses of blogs you like.

  3. I agree with Charlene - love your idea to use a blog for new teachers & think it would be great to have all the important information that someone new to the district would need to know. This would especially come in handy in large districts like mine where that information can sometimes seem buried on the district website.
