As part of the process of globalisation, school and colleges across the globe are undergoing a transition from being nation-centred to becoming institutions which engage with diversity in a more interconnected world. The Global teacher unit is included at QUT as part of the Bachelor of Education course because it helps educators prepare students to live and work interculturally, with greater global understanding of socio-cultural educational issues of planetary significance. In preparing for the digital narratives students has the opportunity to study issues of diversity and sustainability at home and abroad, as well as the ability to interpret educational problems from a framework that is both local and global. The students have expressed their understandings of these important contemporary issues in a creative way through digital narratives which can also act as future classroom resources.
