Introduction

**Introduction:** ==The following content has been compiled for the purpose of a proposed SOSE inquiry unit within the Place and Space strand titled 'Creating the Sustainable Future'. It was developed for an intended year six learning cohort and scaffolded through the integration of the TELSTAR inquiry model. Further frameworks include the use Marzano & Pickering's Dimension of Learning and Mishra & Koehlers Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) as a guidance for suitable pedagogy. A focus for the unit intends to promote and support learning through using Bloom's Digital Taxonomy and Kearsley & Shneiderman's Engagement Theory to promote higher order thinking and effective technology based pedagogy while also incorporating a constructivist learning approach. This ranges from the structuring of tasks to ensure they are relevant and authentic to the learning cohort and can be applied to a real world context. Furthermore, emphasis on the consideration of the diverse needs and interests of the students includes tasks that include both collaborative and individual learning opportunities, appropriate scaffolding and the integration ICTs that are meaningful to the unit. ==
