Leaders and Blogging

Leaders can use blogs in order to garner better communication with faculty and other staff as well as parents and community leaders.  Our superintendent sends out weekly messages about the events that are occurring in the district.  Instead of sending out emails, he could make use of a blog which would be a way to allow for a public forum.  In the same way, our principal sends a weekly bulletin to the faculty where he chooses a "notable quotable" to inspire faculty morale.  A blog would again allow more people the opportunity to view the quote and hopefully foster a better relationship between the school and the public. Any opportunity to share the happenings in the district, or campus will help to answer questions about the daily events of our campuses and could lead to better parent/student relationships.
