Through communicating, exploring and gathering some great resources to inform and provide a focus for my unit of work, I have developed a greater understanding of the benefits that Twitter provides as a tool for locating, discussing, and sharing information. #UONTeach

@Dawe4Peter @pettitt_phil @BrendenMoore29 @nswaecg @NSWEducation @botanicbuddy @RBGSydney @amy_jozing Thank you!

@DavidDelforce Thanks for sharing that resource Dave. I can see myself refering to it when integrating Global Perspectives in lesson plans and units of work. #UONTeach #GlobalPerspectives

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

@Blaese18 Glad you found it informative Blaese. Those 21st Century Skills are also so important to prepare students for life beyond school. #UONTeach

Why not have a Vegetable Patch Harvest Afternoon at school? Invite families to view the effort made by the students in creating the garden, and harvest any of the vegetable or fruit that are ready to eat? #UONTeach

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

Hunter Region Botanic Gardens at Heatherbrae provide some great opportunities for environmental excursions, including a nature walk, where students study native plant-based foods and medicine. Geography & Science KLA's abound! #UONTeach #NativePlants https://t.co/XvhAiyRBoK

@dylancatz16 Thanks Dylan, and I like the points you make of empowering the students with responsibility to maintain a garden, as well as it linking in with the PDHPE Syllabus. #UONTeach

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

An important point, planning & creating a school garden engages students in collaborative learning. Creating the garden could lead to exploration of native bush foods, environmental impacts, carbon storage, land rehabilitation etc., and is informing my Unit Plan #UONTeach

School gardens can be a great way to expose students to farming, collaborative learning, and good eating habits. What is your school is doing for Maryland Homegrown School Lunch Week? Share it with us! #mdf2s #farmtoschool @MdPublicSchools @MDsBest @MdAgDept

This is a really interesting point, fundamental to the idea of the Teacher as an agent of change, where teachers need to make the most of their classroom/environment for creating opportunities for Collaborative Learning. #UONTeach

[Peter Hatherley-Gree @PHGreene]

Creative and collaborative learning does NOT require a dedicated state-of-the-art centre as in Brighton College Dubai - this type of learning needs to occur in every classroom.

Just PR to attract parents in the way schools used its ICT labs over the past 30 years. #emarisenow

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

This activity employs collaborative learning to allow students to gain deeper understanding of the seasonally driven physical changes to trees. #UONTeach #CollaborativeLearning

[Kat Hanson @HansonKinder]

Collaborative learning on how trees change throughout the seasons! #hornetpride

@Dawe4Peter @BrendenMoore29 @nswaecg @NSWEducation @pettitt_phil @botanicbuddy @RBGSydney @amy_jozing Hi Peter, thanks for the offer, however I'm a 4th Year Bachelor of Education (Primary) Student, so I'm not yet working in a school. I'm compiling authentic resources and contacts for enhancing learning opportunities for my future students, so I’ll make a note of this. #UONTeach

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

A School Habitat Garden can be great fun to create, and provide valuable learning experiences for students across a range of learning areas. #UONTeach #SchoolHabitatGarden

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

@Lindle98192700 I completely agree Lindle, it is so encouraging and interesting to hear how 21st Century Learning is applied in different school settings in the "real world". #UONTeach

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

A very interesting TEDxtalk examining the feedback from a number of educators on integrating Teaching 21st Century Skills. #UONTeach #21stCenturySkills https://t.co/LADoDbI35j

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

How, and why, should we focus on the 4 C's (Collaboration. Communication. Critical thinking, Creativity) in the classroom? #UONTeach #21stCenturyLearning

Carbon Storage is such an interesting area to explore in this article. Looking at the trees and plants in your area, what are their effective carbon storage capabilities? What ways could you explore this at your school? #UONteach #Carbonstorage https://t.co/P8QcAA4Qdd

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

Need plants for school Landcare projects? How about information on creating a habitat garden? Thanks to Lake Macquarie LandCare. Can anyone provide some first hand experience on creating a habitat garden at school? #UONteach #HabitatGarden

@Lindle98192700 @PlanetArk That is a great idea Lindle, and also creates cross KLA learning opportunities! #UONTeach #NationalTreeDay

[Andrew Auld @AAuld6]

School Tree Day is Friday 26th July, and is a great opportunity for getting involved in a community tree planting nature care event. What would be some great ways to involve students in this event that gives back to the community? #UONTeach https://t.co/R7ubqmgtAV
