As we move into this section I make mention of the companion resources that have been made available at the website mentioned on this slide.
As a brief aside, I also commend to the class the value of making interesting use of such free resources as www.weebly.com in some of the communication activities that they themselves are required or expected to provide in their own organisation.

Sister Celine McArdle of Castlebllayney died recently.
In memory of her and her ability to think innovatively about opportunities for new ideas and new projects that would bring benefits to the local community, I make mention of the creation of the Iontas Centre in the town.
Much of this creativity and innovation came from her ability to scan the environment and identify significant needs within different groups locally.

We then go on to look at how the world of education has been challenged and is in need of change as we move further into the 21st-century.
Sir Ken Robinson's TED session and RSA Animate indicate some of the significant issues where changing demographics, new technologies and an awareness of different learning styles and preferences challenge some of the paradigms used in teaching and education in the last two centuries.

John Maynard Keynes made the observations at the top of the slide.
Even 40 years ago much that we take for granted was in the early stages of adoption in a consumer society.

I deal briefly with some of the changes that are identified in the various points included on this slide, with some examples drawn from my own experiences growing up in the 1950s and 1960s.
For example, in my childhood much seemed to be grey or black and white: newspapers and comics were black and white, TV (when it arrived) was black and white and clothing tended to be dark and lacking in colour.
As the 1960s took hold, much of the environment became a lot more colourful.
