THE MATERIALS AND THEIR CHANGING NATURE

Abstract

Forecasting for the future is fun and when I started in education in the sixties my guesses were fairly accurate. So few new materials and methods of presentation were being produced that more of what we had was the likely future. Now, however, the situation is very different. Change is the watchword that we all carry around, some with considerable apprehension. Over the last few years many new options have opened up for education and there is no likelihood that this will do anything but continue. Forecasting the future is still fun, but the chances of successful guesses are much lower. It is only the brave man who tries, but I have been asked to be brave — so here goes.
