Schools that promote professional learning communities have learned that if a well developed master schedule is not in place may create difficulties with teachers working collaboratively to improve student performance. Implementing a blog for the campus would allow teachers to work together and share ideas even without a common planning period. The principal would be allowed to view and respond to the teachers’ concerns and ideas. Further, allowing teachers to reflect on their current teaching practices.
As school administrators, we ask teachers to lead by example. Having teachers feel comfortable working with a blog, may in turn lead to a school-wide transformation to improving the way students learn.
A superintendent, as mentioned in the videos, may use blogs as a tool to communicate with central office staff. For many principals and supervisors, the school superintendent is readily accessible. For larger districts this may not be conceivable. Therefore, communicating by blogging may be the solution.
