Hey, look where I just landed, Google+ and a brand new MOOC!! Looking forward to meeting new folks and learning 'all about' technology #ocTEL  

I'm generally, interested in Web 2.0 technologies and the digital literacies that they require, but I'm also curious about social collaboration platforms for supporting communities and their social learning - as opposed to the learning management systems that generally manage learning on courses.

I'm a literacies practitioner (digital & traditional) and I live on the West coast of Ireland. I'm also a very recent graduate of St. Angela's College, Sligo where I completed an M.A. awarded by NUI Galway in Technology, Learning, Innovation and Change. Ideally, I'd like to take my passion and insight for digital literacies and social learning online into a Higher Education or professional development context. For that reason, I'm developing my skills and knowledge in relation to online pedagogies, online communities, learning technology and learning design; that's why I’m glad to be here taking part in the #ocTEL MOOC
