Final Program Blog
Blogging took some getting used to. I wanted it to be more than just a repeating of already discussed information. I was less than satisfied with my first attempt so I created a 2nd which I maintained throughout the remainder of the course. One of the consistent reminders I received as I have grown and prepared for a position as a campus leader is the importance of reflection on ideas, accomplishments and visions. Blogging is the way to make thoughts and ideas public and get feedback from others. My mentor shared information about a leader in the area of leadership blogging. Michael Hyatt hosts his own site/blog that provides helpful information about blogging(Hyatt, 2013) .

Liberty Hill ISD has recently adopted Google Docs for processing tools and collaboration. As I continue as an educator and campus leader I will incorporate the use of blogs as an educational learning tool for my students and a reflective tool for myself.
As a reflective tool I will be reading and processing the 124 actions from the text Leading Every Day 124 Actions for Effective Leadership. I have created a blog to document my progress through the text as I continue to grow and learn about being an educational leader. The blog will allow me to reflect on various leadership topics and get feedback from colleagues and veteran campus leaders. Follow my progress at http://reflectiveleader.blogspot.com/.
