Educational leaders can use blogs as both a plan of action and a record of what actions they have actually taken. It is easy to use a blog to journal your thoughts on things that you want to achieve in the future so that you have a plan to refer to. You can then go ahead and update the blog as you complete the actions so that you have a visible reminder of your accountability in attaining your goals.
Educational leaders can also use blogs to communicate with other leaders when it may not be possible to schedule meetings or phone calls. One simply has to read what someone else has written and then leave comments which can offer great feedback to the writer.This is an excellent forum for collaboration as the information is available to anyone who has access to the blog and it is not constrained by time or country.
Blogs also help with professional development as we hope that people will take more time in formulating writing of a certain standard, knowing that it will be available to everyone on the internet. Since blogs are truly modern technology, they can also be used to connect to students who may also have blogs or may be inspired to use blogs for their own education as well.
A journal is a great idea, it's another way of keeping tabs on what happens in the campus.
