I am a an English teacher and the ICT Co-ordinator at the British Council in Porto, Portugal.
I am also a project officer for the British Council's Second Life projects which include the British Council isle on the Main Grid and the LearnEnglish Teen Second Life Isle on the Teen Grid. I have recently finished a Master's degree in Educational Technology & TESOL where the focus of my dissertation was digital game-based learning and Second Life, specifically looking at the Language Learning Quests found on the British Council Isles (the dissertation can be downloaded from

My interests include the use of digital games in learning and the use of virtual worlds for online education.
