This First Edition Book is an introduction to ‘Frameworks’ – some of the ideas around ‘Frameworks’; the context of ‘Frameworks’ in the 21st-century digital world; the Methodology and the Tool.
It is being aimed at Teachers (Primary and foundational) and their Pupils. To think about issues of complexity in the Digital World. To think about the value of “structured thinking” and the communication and sharing of thinking and understanding. Teachers and their Pupils to work together to learn about ‘Frameworks’ as a possible solution to complexity and the value of focusing on key ideas and key things. To appreciate the value of naming things carefully. To appreciate the value – of *context* for thinking. Individual and independent thinking – where attention is being grabbed by the news, the headlines, the ideas and opinions are being delivered on smartphones.
