Blogs and Journals: How Can They Help Today's Administrator?

I think the biggest way a journal or blog can help an administrator today is by helping an administrator gather and collect their thoughts as well as capture the thinking process as they walk through a crisis, problem and/or an action research inquiry. Also, a blog can solicit outside opinions and ideas from other professionals that have already experienced the situation or are currently in the same place. All of this can be effective in creating a positive environment for change in the educational setting.
