Navigating around ICT and ASIATapping into ICT savvy students

I am future’s child…I am future’s child. I am 16 years old. I will be alive and well in 2070.

My children will see the 22nd century.Can you even imagine what the world will be like for them?

Wherever I live and work I will certainly be mixing in a multi national, multi cultural and multi faith setting; white people may be the ethnic minority.

Are you confident you can design a curriculum that will equip me to live in my world?

I am sixteen years old and I am sitting in one of your classrooms today.
