Hello there! Whilst in London, I spent an afternoon with Chris Best (a former student of mine who has been teaching there ever since he graduated, and who now produces a series of podcasts about technology in teaching). We did a podcast – quite informally – about what was happening in my world and why I was in London and the like. Here is a link to go to the podcast: I am “Episode 18″. Chris and I giggled a little as we were working out how to do the podcast, but we eventually settled down and discussed the state of our respective contexts and how our work needs to develop as teachers to account for new social and discursive practices of online communities. Let me know if you have questions or comments!

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
