Blogging is not only a helpful tool...it's fun! Technology is huge in today's society. Everyone, including a toddler can use technology. We google just about anything these days and half the time you google something...someone has written a blog post about it!
Blogging is all about sharing thoughts, opinions, and everything in between. Typing up your thoughts allows for reflection time that you wouldn't normally have. When you write, so much thought is put into the post because of how POWERFUL words are!
As an educational leader, blogs can be used to communicate with other educational leaders. The power of communication and collaboration can promote and inspire a magnitude of change. People's questions and comments cause you to reflect more on the situation at hand, which can promote even more growth! Blogs also allow you to share new thoughts and ideas. They have the power to inspire and teach. The most important reason to blog, in my opinion, is to allow for collaboration among peers to promote and develop growth in one's thinking.
I totally agree with you that blogs are important to sharing ideas and interacting with others that you normally wouldn't. Using it as a way to reflect will be helpful in keeping ideas a live.
