What and Who is PET?

The book, EDUCATION tells us, “True education means more than pursuing a certain course of study. It has to do with the whole person, and with the whole period of existence possible to human beings. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers.

Education, today, must be attractive and of value to students of the twenty-first century. What worked well in the past may not be appropriate for students, now. Teachers must be able to assist learners in developing physically, mentally, and spiritually in a way that uses the technology of the times.

As an old educator, I have known the methods that worked in days of yore. However, today we must use technology, Internet, group projects, and many other ways of helping students gain knowledge.

This Panorama of Educational Thoughts will attempt to look at some of the ways we can use the technology of the twenty-first century to prepare our children with methods that best teach them to take charge of their lives.

I would love to hear from you and learn what you think of these methods.
