“There is remarkable consensus among educators and business and policy leaders on one key conclusion: we need to bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st Century.”

TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006

We agree…

In a world where…Japan has begun it’s first university classes on cell phones

that can hold thousands of tunes.

Most students have devices small enough to fit in their pocket

And

• Every child must be taught:

• Core Subjects• Learning and Thinking Skills• ICT Literacy• Life Skills• 21st Century Content

Education needs to change.
