Renee's research focuses on technology and tha capacity to assist educators and students reach their full potential in the 21st Century. Her developing research profile also investigates the changing role of teachers today, including those in alternative systems (home-schools), and highlights the relationship between ICT use and effective pedagogies. Specifically (but not exclusively) Renee's work considers how search engines like Google are being used in educational environments and how they may be better used to enhance educational outcomes. A focus upon 'Generational Digital Divide' rhetoric and upon ensuring discourse is used as a resource rather than an obstacle for pedagogies is also present in her research. Renee is interested in challenging asymmetries in power and knowledge as manifested in discourse and in contributing knowledge which may serve to question pervading ideologies surrounding technology and today's students and educators. She has experience in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies; particularly Critical Discourse Analysis and Semiotics. Previously Renee's research has employed Gramsci's concept of Hegemony and Cohen's Moral Panic.
