How times are changing. The world is developing at a faster pace then ever before. Our children are born into a brave new world the like of which could not even be imagined not so very long ago. But where does this leave us in terms of educating our children?  Are the means and the methods that we went through sufficient for our children and our grandchildren? I think the answer to that is a resounding "No!"  Unfortunately education theory and practice takes a long long time to catch up with the real world and its demands. I have taught from Kinder 1 to University Bachelors of Education students over many years. I have seen major changes even in the past 10 years but still I believe that we are a long way behind where we should be. We have to be more responsive to the world we are in now and tomorrow and not busy preserving either the status quo or worse still the theory and practice of the 60s, 70's or 80's!  I am viewing this from the standpoint of an International educator of 35 years experience of local government schools and  International Schools in the USA, France, Denmark, Italy, The Philippines and the UK. My most recent experience is of International Schools in Manila and the local school system and that is where I propose to begin my blogging journey.
