Welcome to my blog space. This is where I will be sharing my thoughts, ideas and understanding as I progress through the Masters of Education (Teacher Librarianship) course. When choosing the title and look of the blog I thought it would be an interesting idea to use one of my favourite books, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams, as inspiration. Therefore, I figured that “Mostly Harmless”, the revised description of Earth as it appears in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, could be an amusing title (to me anyway).
Will my posts arouse critical thought? Will they inspire people to comment and speak out? Will they provoke riots in the street? Probably not. They’re more likely to be “mostly harmless” – the rambling product of too much (or too little) coffee in the morning. I do hope to produce the odd gem of wisdom or Eureka moment though. In any case, at the very least it is a fun play on words that also pays homage to Adams’ work.
