The Virtual Explorer Blog
If you're interested in the web you might find my blog The Virtual Explorer (http://thevirtualexplorer.blogspot.com) interesting. Mostly intellectual reflections on possibilities that are emerging, rather than just a newscast on the latest and greatest tech - there are already plenty of those blogs, after all!
RSS ContentThe Sunday Roaster Blog
Alternatively there's the blog for my main hobby, cooking. I do keep a rather intermittent blog about by culinary exploits called The Sunday Roaster (http://thesundayroaster.blogspot.com/) which is primarily about ... you guessed it ... Sunday roasts.
RSS ContentWho am I?
Professionally speaking I currently work for the University of Exeter as project manager for an E-Assessment project, 'Collaborate'. My expertise is in both learning and technology, so most of my work lies in the areas where these disciplines meet.
Personally I'm a cook, psychologist, husband and father, someone who loves to laugh and loves to play, fascinated by why we are what we are, and how we come to be ourselves.
What am I interested in?
My current focus is the nature of digital space - what it is made of from an experiental point of view, as opposed to a technological point of view. As a subsequence of this I'm interested in how people move and interact in the specific digital places that are created within this wider digial space.
What's my experience?
In order to answer this question I recently wrote a blog post about Computer Science, computational thinking & pedagogy which explains some of my background, thinking and experience. I also keep a few historical items of work from my past alive, such as these playable Burmese Musical Instruments, and my old Flash Book idea, e.g. "Know Yourself: Co-operative or Competitive?".
