About

My name is Martin Waller and I am a full-time primary school teacher and educational researcher based in the United Kingdom.  As a researcher I work independently  through the Multiliteracies Learning Initiative. I am also studying part-time at the University of Sheffield to complete an MA in New Literacy Studies. My main teaching and research interests are founded in multiliteracies, critical literacy and creativity in relation to the curriculum and educational change. I’m also fascinated by children’s popular culture and how this can impact on learning.

I appear across the web mostly through the avatar of MultiMartin. The name embodies my interest in anything relating to multimedia, multiliteracies and multimodality.

This blog is a constantly evolving entity. I originally set it up to reflect on research I was reading but have recently started to link what I read and explored in the classroom to the real world. As with any Web 2.0 site it will never be complete and will constantly evolve.
