Hosting a recent Twitter Chat #COSLead was hectic, confusing, a challenge to my fledgling Twitter skills and a totally brilliant experience! It is a powerful tool for self reflection and articulating purpose. Highly recommended.

A6 Ramifications are that as a system we will.need to change the way teachers are trained, attitudes to what the community believes constitutes learning and the view teachers have of themselves #@COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A4 Authentic use of technology is a tool to facilitate teaching and learning not replace pedagogy. @COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A4 Authentic use of technology is when it becomes the means by which students engage with and express THEIR learning not just reflecting our teaching. @COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A4 e.g. Remote conferencing, voice to text, visionhearing and mobility support @COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A4 This is using technology to facilitate learning opportunities that would not otherwise be accessible @COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A3 teaching students with disability in a support class already has the framework of FF pedagogy. Small numbers, individual programs and ability based progression @cosleader

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

Q3 yes. Yes it is. I was totally skeptical. We did the research
applied the principles and had some great successes.Also some epic fails 😁 @COSlead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

@annbasel I agree Mathew.

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A2. Discovery and self discovery.

A1 By definition all learning is future focused however in our context it really defines an approach for how we believe we can best prepare our students for an inconceivable future @COSLead

[Dean Carpenter @DEC1815]

A1. Future focused learning is a title that encompasses and describes a wide range of trending strategies, research and theories for the provision of teaching and learning.
