Blogging can be used to comunicate with school stakeholders for a variety of reasons. There aawas a very good example given in the assigned reading regarding the dvelopment of a new school dress code. A blog could be established for the purpose of giving he community stakeholders information about propsed changes to the dress code. Stakeholder could post heir comments and suggestions for changes to the dress code. Other stakeholders could read the posted commenst and agrree diasagrre or modifya nd improve on the suggestions. This would be an effective way to gain public input, be it form students, parenst, teachers or at large community members.
The development of the campus plan is another example of how a principal could use a blog to seek input from all stakeholders and not just a committe of represenative teachers. Such a Campus Improvement Plan blog could be an evolving document that would eventually end up representing the true and realistic goals of the campus. Were all teachers to provide input, it would be the best example of site based decision making.
Blogs can alos be use dto simpkly inporm he public on the ongoing events at the school and allow the publish to post questions or comments. In this case it turns into a living newspaper.
I believe that blogs will come into more frequent use and will help change the face of education.
