Another colleague of mine Professor Andy Gale (@AWGale)  has recently reflected on the potential for blogging and microblogging in teaching.  Here is a link to the article which  includes suggestions for developing good habits in relation to blogging and microblogging ( Potential for blogging and micro blogging in teaching ) I post it here with his permission and hope it may be useful to those of you considering similar changes to your teaching practice .  Andy also blogs at  andy gale.
