Ed Leaders and Blogging

Admittedly, I am new to blogging (I have been a blogger for approximately 20 minutes!), but it seems like a very efficient way to share ideas.  Social media has exploded for relationships because it is such an immediate way to make contact.  Blogging seems the same -- if educational leaders want to share something great, and don't want to wait for a newsletter to come out in weeks, then blogging is the way.  Additionally, to reach anyone outside your immediate circle, aside from conventions or other gatherings, it seems like smart way to get advice or see what's going on in other parts of the state/country. While leaders could "Google" just about any issue or question, interacting with real people in real time, who have experienced the same situation perhaps, would be extremely beneficial to gathering information for a variety of reasons.
