[meg and sam come for mayday!]

Niece and nephew, Meg and Sam Pawley, came to visit us for Mayday celebrations in our village! Aside from the amazing procession and pub burgers we had lots of fun running around, climbing trees, playing Frisbee and climbing the stairs!

And yeah, I'll probably be one of *those* mums who takes pictures of everything....

About Me

Name: Jess

Location: Edmonton, Canada

Update: Winter Term: *** Lecturing at Grant MacEwan University on several topics including journalism, professional writing, e-learning, critical theory, analysis & argument and communications. As always, still interested in the role of new media in education.

currently I'm...

still thinking about online narratives. Well, I've spent the past few years thinking about it but now I'm going in a slightly different direction. I'm thinking about wiki fictions, blog stories, youtube stories and facebook storytelling. I guess it's narratives 2.0? But I'm also researching transdisciplinarity in an academic context and editing two issues of the IOCT journal before steering the emergence of a fully-peer-reviewed journal (tentatively) titled: Transdisciplinary Studies in Creative Technologies. I'm running the Digital Cultures module for the IOCT Master's, giving guest lectures for the Creative Writing and New Media Master's as well as part-time lecturing on new media and digital lit. I'm involved with the Narrative Laboratory project and this year's focus in on mapping social networking. I also contribute as an author to Transliteracy.com, a collaboratively written blog. I'm very interested in how the online environment and its particular affordances are affecting education. To that end I'm involved in a project linking the Inanimate Alice stories to digital literacy. Want to be involved? Check this out.
