Blogs are yesterday's newsletters, but better. In today's paper-free society, they are a smart solution for educators to keep up with their educational community. A blog can contain anything from meeting notes, links to educational articles or the schedule of this week's school activities. It is essentially a whittled down website, simple enough for anyone to use.
Today's blogs have a variety of tools built in to help organize topics and ideas. You can tag or label entries to organize, or use the "follow" button to connect with your school and community in seconds. Another great feature of Google's Blogger is the integrated site reader.google.com that keeps all the blogs organized in one central location. An educational leader can easily track the pulse of a community by following: teacher blogs, neighboring schools, and city information in one place.
It is really cool how you can do so much and find out so much by using a blog. I am fairly new to blogs and I am already loving them a lot. By brother uses a blog to keep all of our family and his friends up to date on his family and his little babies. It is so cool what these things are capable of now.
