While I have not spent much time "blogging" I have been reading the blog of one of my pastors as he takes a sabbatical through Europe. The purpose of the sabbatical is spiritual renewal but he is using the blog to share the experience first hand with the congregation through the blog.
As educators I think setting up a blog between new principals would be a great way to share experiences and encourage one another. New principals within a district could blog about their campus and what leadership opportunities they were involved in. It would be a great tool for the district to see how things were communicated, different leadership styles across the district and where there might be "holes" in the process. Sometimes in education we are somewhat an island unto ourselves, even in administration! Blogging could be a great communication tool to share issues and problems and different approaches to solving or dealing with them.
This blog started as an assignment in a course I was working on for my principal's certification. I guess an old dog can learn new tricks! I will be leaving the Houston area sometime in the next few months and hopefully can use this newly created blog to keep up with friends, family and collegues.
