Aborignal culture and tradition should be included in all Australian classrooms. The incorporation of Aboriginal knowledge acknowledges their contribution to history and culture and gives all students a stronger appreciation of community (Harrison & Greenfield, 2011). #UoNTeach
Turner, Wilson and Wilks (2017) state that project participating teachers had an increased knowledge of concepts of histories, contemporary cultures, cultural identity, understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and language. #UoNTeach
A fantastic resource that will be an influence as I develop my community-based unit. It shows the importance of #community assets in an outdoor setting and the increased focus and a deeper understanding that result from the learning space (Cutter-Mackenzie, 2009). #UoNTeach
ICT integration demands educators adapt and move from the traditional teaching approach to a more blended approach (Ghavifekr et al, 2014). As a teacher what supporting strategies are you using as learning becomes predominantly online? #UoNTeach
I agree @morts_a! Belonging is such a powerful story through its ability to communicate the significance that every student has to change their community for the better. Thanks for sharing!
To support the development of #Belonging in classrooms Jeannie Baker's book by the same name is a great intro and conversation starter on the topic. #UoNTeach https://t.co/TYAY8dNHtN
Actively using twitter while undertaking this course has taught me to appreciate the opportunities for development and communication with the teaching community that this platform provides. #UoNTeach
Culturally responsive teaching highlights the academic achievement of all students through a reflection of the strength and reslience of their diverse community and cultures (Gay, 2018). #UoNTeach#culture
Culturally responsive mathematics teaching invites ALL students into math, respecting that all ways of thinking enrich the learning experience. Read more here: https://t.co/HuETiZqB6A #sponsorcontent
Don't miss out on our fabulous #Immigration Journal Competition! We're inviting #students to write a journal entry from the perspective of an Australian immigrant. Closes 8 May so get in quick ✍️ #history
I will develop during the connection of community and school in my unit through the use of #outdoorlearning. The simple inclusion of hands-on education through assets such as a school garden highlight the importance of both academic and interpersonal attitudes in the classroom.
Using ICT is a great way to create meaningful connections while exploring #culture in the classroom. Technology allows students to seek further information in diverse situations and promotes both the reflection of teacher and student (Lin & Kinzer, 2003). #UoNTeach#ICT
Using community assets should be a necessity in the modern classroom. The inclusion of local culture, arts and environment should be utilized to improve the overall practicality of education (Cox-Petersen, 2010). #UoNTeach#communityassets
A great resource to support all students as a material they can use to learn from home! Mathematics can often be a difficult concept for students and these mini lessons are a great way to clear up any complications at home. #UoNTeach
ABC Education Mini Lessons are here to support #learningathome! Led by real classroom #teachers, these #minilessons are designed to introduce key concepts around #maths for primary school students.
The integration of a global perspective has an immense influence on the creation of my project. A global perspective in the 21st century classroom offers students a rich, hands-on experience that gives a powerful knowledge of the world and how it works (Cogan & Derricott, 2014).
The importance of #cybersafety is clear during this dramatic change to education. Cyber safety presents a further pedagogical challenge to the already difficult task set to teachers but is also a vital part of the increased integration of technology (Hanewald, 2008). #UonTeach
It’s amazing to see the changes that have occurred due to the social implications of COVID-19. This would be an interesting topic to discuss with students in class as well as something that could be explored in my community project. #UoNTeach
During the research stage for my project I’ve discovered the importance of community in the teaching context. Cooper (2007) states that community-based education is essential due to the beneficial connections that are created #UoNTeach
Engaging with twitter for the first time in a professional manner has truly taught me the importance of building my knowledge through the experience of other educators on the platform.
