This is my second opportunity to use a blog as an educational support.  The first of mine came in the Lamar University Master’s Program when I created a blog for my action research project.  I decided to maintain the same blog address to keep my work in order.  As I progress in my career as an educator my new school district is interested in my pursuing a similar action research project here.  They are curious if we can get the same results of increasing extracurricular participation at this rural area school as we were able to get in a suburban San Antonio school.  In the past I used the blog as a way to share my work on my action research progress.  I enjoyed the opportunity to get feedback from others regarding my action research project as well as track their progress and provide them insight and feedback as well.  The blog could provide an avenue to share my internship activities with others to help us all learn from different experiences we have during this program.  As for professional development I am wondering if a blog could provide a place for us to share what is learned in professional development with others.  In this day and age with budgets getting tighter and less staff being able to travel for professional development we need to find creative ways to begin sharing our learning with our colleagues.  Us as educational leaders need to continue to find ways to use resources that are available to collaborate with others and learn from their actions and experiences.
