Nancy Fichtman Dana (2009) posits that blogs are an excellent way to capture "thinking" - something that is generally difficult to pin down. She continues, "Ironically, as educators in charge of facilitating the thinking and learning of others, we have not been socialized to think that our own thinking can lead to critical insights into your administrative practice, insights that may only occur when you revisit a though or when you string a number of thoughts together that have come to you intermittently over a longer period of time," (Dana, 2009). In short, blogs provide administrators with an opportunity to "go back in time," revisiting their previous thinking to reflect on it in terms of the current climate. This can have a powerful effect on what actions they choose to pursue next to improve their campuses.
