Week 5 - Pedagogy involved in taking a futures approach

"Futures thinking" is to think about the possible futures that we ourself would like to see occur. Not only for ourself but locally, nationally which leads to globally. Thinking about this increases the chances of the preferred future to happen.
Within the Australian Curriculum, teachers are expected to guide their students learning in developing skills:

• Anticipating the future
• Accepting consequences
• Envisioning alternatives
• Making wise choices
• Taking responsible actions

As students progress through their studies in the Technologies learning area they are developing an appreciation of the needs and consequences considered for sustainable future for generations to come.
