@Hunterwater has made plans to create a desalination plant in response to the drought in the Lower Hunter. This brochure would be a great resource to use in a classroom setting to get young minds thinking about how they can do their part. #UoNTeach#Educ4750#SDG6
@lozgam When I was on my last practical experience, #Microbit was integrated into the curriculum in such an inspiring fashion, that it made me want to use it myself.
@LFaughlin ICT is a great way to engage 21st century learners! I am a huge fan of BTN, they are a credible resource that is engaging for students and teachers alike.
@LFaughlin This is great resource that is applicable to many schools. It would be great to use in conjunction with a bush tucker garden to achieve multiple cross-curriculum priorities. #uonteach#Educ4750
@joshuamcleod10 With another great find, what an awesome experiment that could be done in the classroom, that exemplifies a sustainable way to create clean drinking water. #uonteach#educ4750
This might be a cool little experiment for the classroom. They can learn how to convert saltwater to #SDG6 clean water for drinking. Obviously Teacher discretion with potential hazards. #uonteach#EDUC4750

Very alarming! Even developed countries are afflicted by a lack of access to clean water supplies. This is a great example of why it is more important than ever that we get our youth talking about sustainable solutions for water! #SDG6#UoNTeach#educ4750
Even in developed countries such as the United States, people are struggling to gain access to a clean water supply. Flint Michigan is just one example where cost-cutting water supply methods have undermined the health of the civilian population
With all this wet weather lately, there has been an increase in sewage run-off going into public bathing sites. This would be a great resource to get students thinking about solutions on how we can stop this problem. #SDG6#educ4750#UoNTeach https://t.co/1kgggj1hPs
#SDG6 hits a bit closer to home when you hear about water mismanagement affecting Australians in Walgett NSW, a town only 6.5 hours away from Newcastle. #UoNTeach#Educ4750 https://t.co/SpJi2vuLG4
This is such an interesting article! It’s amazing how project-based learning not only increases students learning outcomes but also benefits their social skills and behavior. I can’t wait to try it out with my stage 3’s research and design project based on #sdg6. #Educ4750
Project-Based Learning promotes on-task behaviours, co-operation and motivation, while developing necessary cognitive and social skills. This article provides stimulating insight into the evaluation of Project-Based Learning.

I completely agree! Graphic organizers are a great way to help students organize their thoughts, personally I am a huge fan of popplet, it is very intuitive and easy to pick up program. #Educ4750#uonteach
Starting a new topic can be quite daunting for students, using graphic organisers is an effective way of introducing new ideas such as #sustainability#SDG12 that keeps it simple and engaging. Below are some of my favourite to use - what is your favourite? #UoNTeach#EDUC4750
Did you know that @HunterWater partners with local schools through the “Learning to Change Our World Program”? What an invaluable resource to get students thinking about how they can help in achieving the sustainable development goals. https://t.co/2EociBUuwA #SDG6#Educ4750
Using this resource in conjunction with De Bono’s 6 thinking hats, would enable students to delve deeper into the impact that water-related ecosystems have on other aspects of the environment. #debono#SDG6#UoNTeach#Educ4750
Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems will strengthen resilience to climate change - wetlands trap carbon from the atmosphere and protect coastal areas from storm surges and inland areas from both floods and droughts by retaining water.

This video is a great resource on the fundamentals of critical thinking. In order for students to enact change in the world, critical thinking is a necessary skill. #Educ4750#SDG6 https://t.co/OtzVAZTQZ6
What an amazing info graphic, this would be a great example to show your students about how to turn waste water into a resource. #SDG6#wastemanagement#Educ4750#UoNTeach
When creating a classroom project based on #sustainabledevelopment it is imperative that students critically think and discuss about how they can make an impact. https://t.co/runuFAoKJC is an amazing FREE classroom resource to structure classroom debates. #UoNTeach#Educ4750
Wow! Not only is #microbit a great way to engage students with ICT, but it can also be used to integrate #SDGs into other key learning areas. Check out these sustainable development based resources from the “do your :bit” initiative. #Educ4750#UoNTeach https://t.co/c0DPq518An
It is more important than ever to integrate ICT and 21st century learning modalities into our students learning. #microbit is an amazing programming resource that can be used to build engaging STEM lessons for your students. #UoNTeach#Educ4750 https://t.co/Q8EVBztTof
What an exceptional idea Mr. Faughlin! Did you know that at https://t.co/tgVI9uTd6H they have a book club, which lists amazing resources that could be used to teach the Sustainable Development Goals? #SDG6#UoNTeach#Educ4750
Across all stages, picture books can create a deep understanding and use higher-order thinking skills to develop meaning. These are just a few books that you can use as a teacher to get your students thinking about #sustainability#responsibleconsumption & #production#uonteach
