In addition to being a communication tool for classroom use, I also could see a blog being very useful as a communication vehicle for district professional development. Pre-readings/discussions prior to summer training sessions; post-training support; online book discussions; unit/lesson planning between buildings; sharing of district "best practices"; curriculum topic hotlists; topical discussions for tech user groups; "Ask the Experts" support, etc.
Our new tech supervisor is using a Pro-board blog to revise our district's technology plan in place of the traditional series of committee meetings. It is a method I definitely prefer, at least for the discussion stages. I'm not sure how he plans to conclude the process but it has been a real learning experience for me.
