This presentation was run on a flipped classroom model. Before the session a video was viewed of Dr Mandy Lupton's analysis of inquiry skills and information literacy in the Australian Curriculum version 6 in Science, History, Geography, Economics and Business, Civics and Citizenship, Critical and Creative Thinking and ICT. The analysis has revealed numerous inconsistencies and lack of alignment within the Australian Curriculum. The webinar will be devoted to discussing these findings in relation to your current and future practice.
