Effective leaders are masters at utilizing reflective skills. Through reflection, leaders call upon their past experiences and use this information to make informed decisions. For many years, educational leaders have utilized pens and journals to capture their thoughts and reflections. However, with the introduction of 21st century technology tools, educational leaders now have an expanded audience with which they can share reflections and dialogue about ideas. Blogs serve as an online diary where leaders can post comments and questions about their action research. Blogs provide interactive channels for others to read and respond with their own thoughts, research, and experiences. Through the use of blogs, educational leaders now have the opportunity to have conversations around inquiry with people from all over the world and are not just limited to the thoughts and opinions of those sitting around the immediate table.
