Well you learn something new.....

I love learning new things, and I love technology.  So when I can learn something new about technology it's double exciting.
Today I was holding the first meeting of the new year with the PRT 2 that I'm mentoring, and once we had finished the business of the day I asked her about Pinterest.  I know she uses it, and I have registered but not done much with it.  But today I got a great session of personalised learning and now I am more comfortable using Pinterest - and I feel that it will be a useful addition to my online presence.
It may not be rocket science, and it may even seem really obvious to many of you reading this, but to me it was just one more thing that I was meaning to get to but didn't have time to learn it from scratch.  Thanks to my lovely young colleague I've got the grounding I need to make it work for me.
It just goes to show that you are never too old to learn, and that new technology is not that scary once you have the basic idea of what the application, programme or website is about.
Mostly it is about having enough time to explore the new things so that you can get the best from them.  It will never be handed to you on a plate, so you have to go out and make the time, or make the most of the knowledge around you.
