Why use blogs?


Educational leaders can use blogs for various purposes.  First and foremost, blogs can be used to form a professional learning community.  It is an avenue to collaborate with educators from all over the globe.  Blogs can bring the world to our fingertips.  In addition to professional learning and growth, educators can use blogs with their students.  In a blog you can expand your face-to-face in-class discussions outside of the classroom.  You can carry out ongoing debates and research topics.  You can have an open forum for students to share ideas where time is not limited and cut-off by bells.  In foreign language and globally focuses courses, students can pair up with others from around the world to share new information and first-hand experiences.
