Through the use of blogs, educational leaders can access the collective knowledge of a wide variety of people. New and innovative practices can be explored and debated. As stated by Ferriter (2009), “Specifically, thousands of accomplished educators are now writing blogs about teaching and learning, bringing transparency to both the art and the science of their practice. In every content area and grade level and in schools of varying sizes and from different geographic locations, educators are actively reflecting on instruction, challenging assumptions, questioning policies, offering advice, designing solutions, and learning together. And all this collective knowledge is readily available for free.” Blogs bring a real time aspect to the learning process. Information and ideas are updated on a daily basis allowing a continuous exposure to professional growth.
