Not only is this the dreaded first blog post, but also the first step in a journey I have deliberated about for far to long. I really don’t know why it took so long to choose a Masters, but it did, so here I am… day 1, post 1…

Why am I here?
To get an MA, Yes… but what I really want is to develop my knowledge and awareness of all things digital, photographic and geographic, bringing focus to my career in education and the arts. By digital I predominantly mean the web environment, however this extends to all manner of digital systems especially within new and emerging convergent technologies. My geographic interests lie in the 3D mapping of our environment, the geo-referencing of real world data in the virtual and simulations of historical artifacts in 3D space. Within the educational space, I would like to explore alternative methods of delivering learning content and move further towards teaching and research in my career, which neatly brings me back to why I am here, to get an MA…

Over the coming months I’m hoping this blog will be where I explore my interests and focus my thoughts. At present I feel like a kid in a candy store, with all these cool new technologies floating around, waiting to be explored.
