How can a leader of instructional technology use a blog?

Blog sites are the ideal way to create content, communicate information, collaborate with others and create a focused web presence. A leader in instructional technology will learn to incorporate Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0 methods into one location.

The demand for graphics, content, video and music by bloggers worldwide has led to a vast amount of web applications to be developed for free usage on a wide variety of programs. Most of the application programs are written in HTML, XHTML, Flash, and other media enhancements, along with an assortment of widgets the can be imported into the blog.

A magazine that I recently purchased that is written for web site developers, has a majority of its space dedicated to developing application programs that are useful to blog site inclusion. Blogging is a worldwide activity that has high visibility and a constantly developing infrastructure.

The educator that seeks to employ instructional technology and desires maximum impact and visibility of educational methods in a high-tech world is best served by a well designed blog site.
