Future focused learning prepares students across all curriculum areas and learning stages with skills and capabilities to thrive in a rapidly changing and interconnected world. It connects students and engages their sense of curiosity. Future-focused learning environments inspire students to be leaders of their own learning. Students collaborate and use critical and creative thinking to solve complex problems and become mindful global citizens. Students develop these capabilities when they apply knowledge and skills confidently, effectively and appropriately in complex and changing circumstances, in their learning at school and in their lives outside school.
Students live in a rapidly changing technological world. The integration of ICT across the curriculum provides opportunities for all students to develop their skills to become competent, critical, creative and ethical users of technology. The integration of ICT can support a range of teaching, learning and assessment approaches. Teachers continue to have a central role in teaching students to use ICT strategically to optimise their learning, and promote opportunities through connectedness and digital media. The integration of ICT capabilities in teaching, learning and assessment will assist students to live and work successfully in the 21st century.
