I am an Academic Advisor (Learning Technologies) at the Centre for Teaching and Learning Innovation: Te Puna Ako, Unitec, New Zealand. I have a keen interest on Web 2.0 technologies and their potential to engage students and teachers in the teaching and learning process. I am particularly interested in exploring Web 2.0 tools for creating, nurturing and maintaining virtual communities, social connectedness and fostering social constructivism. I am also interested in Virtual Worlds particularly pedagogical implications of their use in education.
