 * 1. To develop our knowledge of, and access to quality on-line education resources.**
 * 2. To support our development of directed on-line teaching and learning opportunities for all our students - 24/7.

=What's all this change about ?= 2 mins Think about it. The rapid growth of technologies changes societies. Education prepares our youth to thrive and survive in the world they must live in. We're undergoing the most exponential change in technology our world has ever experienced and it's not happening over a couple of centuries - it's happening in our children's lifetimes. We don't have a choice - we have to make some changes to fit them for survival. What we choose to do now as professional educators, matters. **To them.** media type="custom" key="93115"
