Teaching

My teaching interests are loosely related to digital literacies and education. These include database and website design, educational informatics, information management and information literacy. My teaching style and expertise derives from recent research into undergraduates´ Internet literacies, seventeen years as a school teacher and five years as a software engineer. My teaching primarily involves students exploring and challenging their understandings and skills through group or individual-based activities.

Research Interests

Educational informatics, particularly as it relates to the Internet-related literacies; Pedagogy and inquiry-based learning (IBL); Primary education; Personal Development Planning.
