The article focuses on the popularity of weblogging among school administrators and school board members in the U.S. According to Kim Cavanaugh, technology administrator for the Palm Beach County, Florida school district, with the incredible time pressures that face upper-level managers in education, it is not always possible for them to take the time to stay abreast of these kinds of developments and see their potential. One strength of blogs is the ability to carry on asynchronous conversations. What is revolutionary about this tool is that it puts give-and-take into Web publishing. Before blogging,the Web was pretty much a one-way street. Some distant, technologically advanced entity would create Web content and the rest of us would wander from site to site viewing it. Blogs have broken that chain. Today,almost anyone with rudimentary computer skills can establish a surprisingly sophisticated space on the Web within minutes. The one-way highway is now two way. Gaining widespread attention in today's mainstream news media are blogs written largely by people who analyze and sometimes break news. Businesses now use blogs to reach out to and cajole their customers, respond immediately to rumors and build their brands. Almost all major political campaigns have blogs that work to build volunteer and donor lists and spin the news. A growing number of teachers write in-depth diary blogs about the challenges,rewards,and agonies of their jobs in personal and powerful fashion and parent and community groups are catching on as well. INSET: HOW TO BECOME A BLOGGER.
