An Effective Venue

Just a note about the use of blogs for leaders in education:  As I was reading the Ringler text, I was struck by how the reflection section emphasized having an "effective venue" for sharing thoughts and results of action research.  This could of course be staff development, team meetings, anything that can encourage discussion among colleagues, but I believe the blogging world is an excellent venue.  The ability to click and read another's thoughts instantly is very intriguing and simply easy to do.  The access to reflection is quick and immediate and you can begin to ponder solutions, differences, and agreements instantly.  It's not quite as good as talking to your colleague personally, but the accessibility can't be beat.  It's a modern venue that we should all take advantage of.
