Our World is changing. Our students are changing. As such Eductional
Methods must also change in order to keep up with the needs of those students.
All material is aimed at middle-school level students although it may be
adapted to different levels.
Our World calls for use of advanced technology such as computers, internet,
and overhead projectors. Along with the advance of technology has come
the explosion of information and the use of multimedia - all these have
made our world a very small place - a Global Village.
Living in a Global Vilage calls for tolerance and acceptance of others.
Both can only be achieved through having open-minds and factual information
thus eliminating one of the strongest barriers known to mankind - fear
of the unknown.
Therefore , students must now be taught about culture: The mores, norms
and values of others. This calls for are marked need for awareness of others.
It is the educator's role to promote this awareness.
