My top 5 posts of 2014

I started blogging back in 2007 to capture my thoughts and make them more concrete. When I began to share them publicly, I opened up my ideas for others to consider and comment on. I have learnt a lot from doing so, and I encourage all my students to do the same now. It's a case of 'now go and blog about this', to encourage them to reflect on what they have learnt before they articulate it. My own blogging is regular, about 3 times each week, and in the last year I have managed to publish 130 posts.

I'm grateful to all those who read my blog posts during 2014, especially to those who have amplified them through social media platforms such as Twitter and Google+, and for those who have taken the time to comment.
