The Education Project Asia (TEPA)
The 'Education Project Asia (TEPA)' is a consultancy established in 2002 with the aim of offering support to the international schools in 17 countries in South East Asia.

The first initiative which schools took advantage of was this free website (Shambles www.shambles.net) which is designed to be of help to all members of the community.... teachers, students, support staff and parents.

It is hoped that this site will be of particular help to families that are moving or living in S.E.Asia and are looking for education opportunities for their children.

Staff and students should find that the database of wwwlinks to over 20,000 education websites will save them time when looking for resources on the internet... browse or use the search facility.

Shambles gets between 10,000 and 20,000 'HITS' most days.

Shambles (www.Shambles.net)
This is the name given to this website; the domain name itself has been used on several unrelated education sites previously.
Some visitors have suggested that the name "Shambles" would not be a suitable name for a "serious" website .... the webkeepers's view is that it is simply be an easy name to remember, one that is 'catchy' and is fun ... hopefully the name will not reflect the real organisation of the site.

Teachers
Many of the more than 25,000+ links to other educational websites have been put on this site by teachers anonymously, I do not know who you are .... but many thanks, I hope you will continue to recommend websites using the forms at the bottom of the wwwlink pages.

Miscellaneous
There are also a few other individual friends and colleagues to be mentioned ..... John Freeman and Angus McKillop for doing some page loading speed tests. Alan Dickson for doing a great animated gif for "The Education Project Asia" which unfortunately I did not use in the end as the file were too big for the home page ... but you can still view it here.

Chris Smith
For myself, I continue to be fascinated with S.E.Asia and have a lifelong commitment to this part of the world. I arrived in Hong Kong in 1978 following a brief period of working in Jamaica and the UK and immediately felt at home with the people, sights, sounds and (even) the smells.
S.E. Asia is a very special and magical part of the world!

In September 2002 I moved to Thailand, partly influenced by my wife who comes from Chiangmai in the North and partly to try something new.

My own up-front work in schools includes running teacher inservice events related to the use of ICT across the curriculum .... and also the review of the use of ICT in schools.
