Welcome
I am a senior lecturer in English and Arts Education. In 2010 I am involved in research about 3D multimedia authoring, literary spaces in virtual worlds, and innovative virtual worlds pedagogy. I am teaching new media literature and literacies, children's literature, drama, and introductory courses in the use of virtual worlds in education. I am also interested in issues of identity, feminist media studies, and multimodal semiotics.Youth Online

Adorable, especially given they are cats! How do you tell them apart?
Alan!!! *look of mock outrage*
One has a sepia coloured coat, the other has a white coloured coat.
Gorgeous cats, Angela! Needless to say, I also love their names
Oh!! Lovely to see you Toril
I can’t access your blog any more 
I knew you would like the name Odin especially.
your kittens are adorable. i am trying to get on second life;maybe we can communicate better that way as i get no email from you in reply to my queries, i will keep you posted on my progress.
beautiful, enjoy. Are they young enough to do the silent miaow?
Hi Barbara – my email program SUCKS!!! I’ve sent you several replies to BOTH your email addresses. I say get facebook or SL, they are much more reliable for sending messages right now.
Ailsa – if ONLY they could
I am severely sleep deprived right now (and I am not nice when I haven’t had 8 hours sleep). The miaowing starts at 4am. Their most active time of the day is when it gets dark! I think these cats are nocturnal – which would be OK if I could sleep all day too. *yawns* But they are adorable.
How beautiful. Where did you get the names from? Your little family must be nearly outgrowing your flat! PS. Cats are definitely NOCTURNAL. If you need any advise, I am a cat expert
Hi Fi
Odin comes from a Norse myth, and I chose Oscar because I wanted another ‘O’ name to match! Yeah the little flat is too small for us all, but moving time is coming soon! (Wanna fly up and kitty-sit when I move?) I’d like to know how to prevent them waking me up at 6am. Or earlier. Any tips? I am getting tired and cranky hehehe
My Tip: Lock them in the laundry overnight. Wear some ear plugs to bed, and try very very hard to resist the urge to let them out if they meow. They get used to it after a few days and soon it becomes a regular routine that they look forward to every night. Would love to kitty-sit but I’m all out of annual leave. I’m about to take 7 weeks off, and then another week at Christmas to fly to QLD. Michael’s family’s turn this year. Perhaps next year for a visit when you’re in a bigger place. Hope you received our Itinerary I sent last week. I’ll buy you a little surprise while I’m away. Kisses, Fiona. PS. A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR 2ND~SEPTEMBER
They are lovely and they will be noisy and nosey for awhile.
