Welcome to my new blog

Welcome, I don’t know exactly how you stumbled upon my blog but here you are. As you might have gathered, it is a rather new blog given this is the first post. Despite that, I’m hoping to regularly update it with my thoughts on topics relating to my job as a Librarian and to my degree in Early Childhood Education.  I’m a firm believer that people need to be introduced to technology at a young age but not overwhelmed by it, it needs to be used correctly and that is something a lot of people don’t actually manage to do. As a person gets older they use technology more and more especially in the current world which is become more reliant on technology than compared to when I was a child.

It is something, we need to seriously consider. At the school I work at children get their own laptops at the age of eleven but before that there are classroom sets that they can use – laptops and Chromebooks. Until recently there was desktops in the library too but they were removed due to a reshuffling of the library which meant there was no longer any space for them – they were only used for the children to play games on at lunch time as it was.

I know I might be one of the few people but something I’m looking forward to at least trying is Google Glass. I first discovered it at least a year ago, if not more when it still wasn’t in the trail run and was just fascinated by it. Perhaps because of just how much the world has advanced and changed in the past few years and there is still so much to come too. Perhaps it is because I’m a fan of science-fiction and that sort of technology just appeals to me? I don’t know but I do know I am looking forward to the chance to try it out myself.
