How Educational Leaders might use Blogs?

How many times do you think a campus principal has sent out a staff e-mail only to have 30 responses with the same question or questions back? My guess is several times every six weeks. This is where I think blogs have a place in education. On my campus the staff receives a staff e-mail every Monday know as the "Monday Memo". The Monday memo let's us know about events taking place during the week, deadlines, and other important information that we need to stay on top of. I think the Monday memo would be much more effective if it were sent out in blog form. Then the staff could comment and the principal could answer questions for all to see instead of the same question in 30 different e-mails. Even if you sent another staff e-mail to clarify a question you would still have to open, read and delete all of the e-mails. Also, I believe that blogs are going to be part of the classroom within the next 5 to 10 years, so why not get teachers used to working with the blog. Blogs are here to stay and I truly believe that they can be a great tool for administration.
