Uses of Blogs by Educational Leaders-Week 1; Part 3
Since reflection is an important aspect of the action research, blogs
are a useful tool to educational leaders.
As an instructional specialist, I believe this is going to be a useful tool in coaching teachers. I created a secure blog for each teacher I coach to use as a meeting place for us to store our work on improving instruction and student success. The sites were also shared with their assigned
assistant principal, and the campus principal. Not only will we be able to record our
questions, reflections, data, understandings, and next steps, but the immediate
supervisor will be able to visit the site, track what steps we are taking for
improvement, coach me (since they are my mentors), and join our conversations.
Since it is available 24 hours a day anywhere there is a computer and
Internet service, we will be able to have a time outside of the busy school day
to continue our collaboration for improvement.

Jackie,I really enjoyed reading how you are using blogs to collaborate with your mentors. I like the fact that you mentioned that communicating will be very easy as long as you have internet and a computer. I believe blogs can be so beneficial in many different ways. They are easy to use and are a source of quick information.
