I Like This Blog…

I like this blog maintained by Woodbury, N.J., Superintendent of Schools Joseph Jones, an honest effort to keep constituents, community members and parents up to speed on what that District is doing. It really is a solid blog, with many posts noted in its archive (in the right-hand column) and lots of variety. There’s testing information, great kids, and generally news-worthy and helpful information. Superintendent Jones manages to do what many blog owners have a tough time doing — making entries on a regular basis. This is the key to a successful blog and the only thing that will breathe life into it. I’ve looked around at dozens of school blogs and have noted that some have no entries since September. It was a good idea at the time, wasn’t it? It’s hard when life gets in the way, but posting to a blog can take less than 30 minutes, and perhaps another 15 minutes linking it to social bookmarking sites.
