Why educational leaders might use blogs?

Educational leaders might use blogs for several reasons.  Educational leaders could use blogs to share, discuss, and collaborate with other leaders across the world.  They could also use blogs to continue their professional growth and engage in new technologies.  Blogs are great resources for RSS feeds and allow leaders to stay abreast of current trends, methodologies, and technologies.
Leaders should also be able to model and advocate 21st Century tools.  Blogs and wikis are a great way to start the “Digital Immigrant” migration (Prensky, 2001).
