Children’s literature now and in the future

There is nothing like the smell and feel of a book. Old, new, yours or borrowed. The increase of digital technology has seen the rise of Ebooks. I must say that my use of them is limited….reading on my device while having a cold drink in the sun doesn’t quite do it for me. I like to hold my books, turn the pages…

Although children have access to a vast variety of technological devices today, I believe most still read the physical copy of the book. With some many popular movies, series and trends translated into print, children are drawn in to the wonderful world of reading for pleasure. Children will bounce from trend to trend but the quality of the literature will keep them coming back to their heroes. I believe media will drive a lot of these trends. I see a great future for children’s literature with books like ‘Wolf girl’ by Ahn Do, the Minecraft series and beautiful picture books.

Licensing terms

Licensing terms can be complex. Reading through the MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT, I realise that I actually never read these..

This particular license agreement would not cover schools. There is a different licensing agreement for schools available: Microsoft School Enrollment licensing. This would cover multiple uses of the software.

According to the provided license agreement you can only use one copy on one device. The Microsoft School Enrollment licensing has options for multiple devices. The license agreement does not give you the right to change the format of the product. The sharing of the product is also prohibited. You do not own the product.  The company only supplies you with a license. You can use the product for a trial period. If you choose not to purchase the product it will stop working.
