Educators and Blogs

I have blogged before in other courses while getting my masters degree and a little in undergrad, however it was not the same as this one.   We didn’t get the opportunity to make it creative, by using a template.  By looking at what this one offers, I feel that it is going to be a great tool to communicate with the other members of my cohort as well as others involved in similar higher educational programs and in the field of education.  I think BlogSpot is really easy to navigate and being able to participate or be part of other blogs.  I believe that by using BlogSpot consistently throughout the superintendent program that I can carry this over into my professional career with other administration, teachers, and even the community.  This will be a great tool for keeping up and discussing with other educators our ever-changing education system and initiatives.  I see this as a way to streamline comments for staff development and training in a multitude of different ways – to improve the training, give positive insights to the presenter, and to further discuss the training components.  I really think that as an administrator and as a teacher that you could use this on your webpage as well, to keep your staff members and students updates on activities going on at your school for the day, week or month.  It could almost be used like an interactive calendar, except for the fact that you can comment.  We as educators have to think 21st learners, college and career readiness.  Technology is here and it isn’t going away.
