It's
been 2 decades since I sang a song with the same title as this post as part of an Art Splash
Choir at the Town Hall (my involvement was based largely on the free t-shirt
and day off school rather than any great passion for music.) In those 20 years there have been huge advances made in technology but the progress of education in New Zealand has been far less linear.
While many of the '21st Century' technologies that existed only in movies have
now become a reality the changes in classroom practices are far less dramatic. Why has the adoption of new innovations in teaching not been universal? There seems to be huge disparities in practices even within schools. What is preventing this change? Is it time? money? a lack of understanding? In
undertaking further study through 'The Mind Lab' I hope to discover how I
can become an effective leader and agent of change and prepare my students for life as kids of the 21st
Century.
