“The Australian Student Wellbeing Framework supports Australian schools to provide every student with the strongest foundation possible for them to reach their aspirations in learning and in life. The Framework is based on evidence that demonstrates the strong association between safety, wellbeing, and learning.” (Education Services Australia, n.d., p.2). This includes the safe and ethical use of creative technologies in learning environments to enhance curriculum outcomes when students are online.

Critically analyse the resources in the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework (ASWF) and the Student Wellbeing Hub (SWH) to examine their ability to support the Digital Technologies Learning area and the General Capabilities ICT from the Australian Curriculum, in relation to your chosen year level and school context.

Your paper should provide specific examples of how the ASWF and SWH resources may, or may not, support the use of digital environments in the classroom to assist teachers in meeting curriculum outcomes and strengthen the digital literacy of students. Support your discussion with academic literature including peer assessed journals.
