@nswaecg Great to see the projects that are being undertaken in different regions of NSW. Consulting the local AECG on Aboriginal Education for authentic learning connections is a must. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

ACARA provide great support through curriculum when looking at Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Histories and Culture. #UoNTeach https://t.co/8tbdpaa8EJ

[Harrison Hylands @H_Hylands_uon]

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures - a cross curriculum priority that demonstrates ACARA's commitment to help #closethegap by addressing the the various needs in Indigenous education. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Excellent resource for global perspectives to give students an multi-modal indication of culture proportions across the world. #UoNTeach https://t.co/2k8aK5vD81

A proportional perspective of the World's Native Languages https://t.co/Kt2iczSEoO @io9

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

A great example of how effective and eye catching a project like a mural in a school can be. It's great when a unit of learning can culminate into something that will be a source of future learning and enjoyment. #UoNTeach https://t.co/nwADTbmzPk

[Richmond Div 1 @richdiv1]

We can’t take our eyes off of the newly mounted Richmond School murals. They look amazing!! #richlearningcbe

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

@PLTWorg such a good source of STEM projects with plenty of ideas for inspiration. Global perspectives on project learning and making connections throughout #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Fantastic Indigenous perspective and such a pertinent message. Closing the gaps we have in Australia with the hopes of minimising inequalities across the globe. It's important to be culturally aware and considerate as global citizens. #UoNTeach https://t.co/zU9lEwD7Zy

Currently reading - https://t.co/cg3b4xarTB These seasonal Charts from CSIRO will make a great learning resource and scaffold for the CBP #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

These Artistic Ideas will come in handy when it comes to creating seasonal charts from the local area for indigenous and non indigenous perspectives. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Twitter harbours an environment that allows teachers to collaborate and benefit from the education community in a reciprocal manner. Making connections through community projects on Twitter establishes a more readily available library of ideas. #UoNTeach https://t.co/csmoXBPSDB

great to show kids how art can last and impact our society! #artforearth #sustainableteaching #HSIEteaching #primaryteacherinspo https://t.co/4HxIW27LKX

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Topics and concepts covered in ABOR3500 that are important Indigenous perspectives should be taken into consideration for a community based project like mine. #UoNTeach https://t.co/LFmmJ2xQ46

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Active citizenship is vital for a well rounded community. It is important to develop local skills into global context because we are all citizens of the world. Decisions being made on international issues affect us all. #UoNteach https://t.co/ebj41g6tEi

[Jasmine Ward @JasmineWard97]

By participating in a community-based project, students are provided with a variety of skills, knowledge and experiences that assist them in becoming active citizens in their community (Tudball, 2010). How will you become an active citizen in your community? #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

@AusElectoralCom have some amazing resources to help with an election process especially through the Education section of their website. This will come in handy in that section of the School based project. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

2/2 Cooperative learning practices should be implemented to allow innovative research throughout classrooms. (Ferguson-Patrick, 2016). #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

1/2 Teachers are under so much pressure from High stakes testing that they rarely undertake innovative practice, the same thing we are preaching to want out of students. This will lead to stale teaching methods reluctant to take a fresh approach.

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

21st Century Learning relies on foundation knowledge (to Know), Meta knowledge (to Act) and Humanistic knowledge (to value). (Kereluik et al, 2013). This is a good way of rating the projects significance from the Quality Teaching Framework (McLeod & Reynolds, 2007). #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Global children can work on expanded literacy such as civic, collaborative, cultural, critical, problem solving, digital literacy, and literacies in action such as advocacy (Shulsky et al, 2017). It is imperative to allow these opportunities through global education #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Twitter is an invaluable resource providing a personalized immeadiate format creating a positive and collaborative community. It combats isolation for remote areas but has not been widely implemented throughout the schooling system (Carpenter & Krutka, 2014). #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Community Based Projects allow participants to get a greater understanding of local issues and knowledge of the community area (Sharkey et al, 2016). It is important to keep the right context though as has been performed by the local Hastings area for my project. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Cultural and Linguistic diversity leads to more caring and ethics based teaching approaches (Vass, 2017). This should be something that is practised by all citizens’ not just teachers. Learning about cultural diversity will lead to more aware and empathetic citizens. #UoNTeach

[Matthew Asciak @AsciakMatthew]

Global competence is the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of Global significance (Mansilla & Jackson, 2011). It is important to keep this in mind to foster a learning environment that nurtures this thinking. #UoNTeach
