In the article Back-to-School Blogging (Read, 2004) the use of blogs or online journals is discussed as a useful source of information and guidance for new students entering a college for the first time. The article discusses how blogs are useful for new Davidson College students, as they learn about campus life and also how to manage their many new responsibilities. Written by upperclassmen, many of the blog entries provide practical guidance and insights into lessons learned. There is also a candor and honesty in these blogs, which get beyond the glossy brochures of the college and provide students with a more accurate assessment of their chosen university. This discussion of the candor and honesty in blogs is what has made them exceptionally popular with college students who seek to find out what life will really be like at the colleges they are interested in attending. Blogs get beyond the claims schools make in their brochures and the voice of the students comes out loud and clear. There is also the aspect of how blogs can create stronger relationships among students because many feel they can write about things they don't necessarily want to verbalize or talk about. All in all, blogs need to be seen as a viable way for students to lean from each other and also support each other socially as well. The article also discusses how blogs can also be useful for creating more collaborative relationships between students, giving them the chance to discuss how to better deal with the stresses of a new school and life. All of these factors can also potentially contribute to greater levels of academic achievement as students have more self-confidence in their college communities as well.

Organizational Health Educational institutions generally approach organizational improvement by addressing the performance standards to which students, educators, and administrators are held. The standards movement has been a dominant theme in educational policy arenas and in the public eye.
