The education discussions today are often volatile and passionate. It would be alarming if they were not. However, many educators seem to shy away from rich and robust discussions concerning pedagogy. There is not one way, the way, or, the best way to teach. We should all become 'REPERTOIRISTS', a creative and informed group of felixble professionals who utilise the knowledge from the rapidly growing bodies of research. This research we draw upon will come from many fields and so give us mutliple perspectives. Educators must ensure they don't become pedantically set into aligning with one body of research. As educators it is of vital importance to discuss, deconstruct and reflect upon the knowledge and evidence avalaible to us about how students learn, how they intellectual develop and how we are able to increase achievement. Deep discussions will then frame our understanding of how to educate a generation with needs that are constantly emerging, being discovered and constructed.

Without a doubt we are certainly entering an interesting era. All educators must reflect on the changing trends and needs in education. How can a student in this day and age be effectively educated and prepared for an unknown future? "To solve problems that don't exist now?" Even the word "educated" or to "educate" will start to take on a new meaning. What does it mean to be educated? What does it mean to educate? Surely the concept of the all knowing, font of knowledge teacher standing at the front of the classroom armed with chalk and duster should become a thing of the past.  There is no place for such a teacher in the world of web 2. How do we align teaching practice with the needs of the millennia child? A plan for strategic teacher professional development is the first step.
