technology?
18
Children dont as technology has always been
around.

They are using this technology to publish,
communicate and connect

20
Does school reflect the children's outside world?
21
Does school embrace web 2.0 or just the web?
22
Does school provide an audience for children's
work?
23
Does school enable collaboration outside
the school walls?
24
Does school prepare our children for
their globalised futures?

The World Is Now Flat!
In this flat world, economies are intertwined
people and ideas move frequently and globally
geographical boundaries are erased. Globalisation
is not a prediction, it is a reality now. This
new world order requires us to rethink the
formats of education that are capable of
preparing global citizens.
