Hi and welcome all to my blog. My name is Martin Robert Reed I am currently training to be an art teacher. I decided to have a career change at the age of forty-six and enrolled on a Ba fine arts degree at Coleg Sir Gar Carmarthen. Having been in the construction industry for over twenty years it was a big change. It happened as simple as this, I did my last construction job on a Friday enrolled on the course on a Sunday and was in full time education on the Monday. I finished my degree in 2015 at present I have enrolled on a PGCE Teacher Training program in Swansea. There have been many challenges along the way but here I am blogging about ‘technology in contemporary art teaching practice’ who would of thought that a couple of eons ago,

So here I go: The world we live in today is fast paced. Technology and the information age has shrunk the world into what seems like a solitary neighbourhood. I recently had a video link with a customer in Santa Monica California USA, I could hear her children in the background of their kitchen talking and clinking cutlery together it seemed as if they were in my own home, I kept looking around to see where the noise was coming from. This confirms to me that technology is firmly imbedded into our culture and our everyday lives and it is unlikely that it will do a U-turn anytime soon.

Reflective writing and its benefits.
