Like many of my peers from UoN, I was apprehensive about using Twitter as an educational tool. But on reflection, it has been a great resource for sharing resources and information about different topics, just like Carpenter and Krutka (2014) said. #UoNTeach

When I reflect on my unit of work on cultural diversity, one major thing that sticks out that I have learnt from my peers is what community assets are actually out there that can be accessed to help us teach and how we could use them. Thanks, team UON...#UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

It is definitely a great book Reece. As well as being able to teach across KLAs, it is awesome for incorporating global connections into a unit of work. #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@KylieOC95211808 @Bunnings @c3256207 could be good for you

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@EckfordReece Having a range of culturally diverse books available for students is a great idea, Reece. I will make mention of this in my unit of work. Thanks for sharing. #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@EckfordReece @MAKtweeter Great idea Reece, thanks for sharing. I may try to incorporate it into my unit somewhere. #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

Reflecting on the knowledge that Woy Woy PS has a significant population of Indigenous students as well as 17% of its students having EASL, has made choosing cultural diversity for my unit of work worthwhile #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@c3256207 I'm glad I could help. Reflecting on my experiences with Twitter, I have found that using it has proven to be a great resource for sharing ideas with peers whilst I have been looking for ideas for my cultural diversity unit. #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

surely @Chloe26000954 has enough for all of us 😂#UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

I think I have #ed enough now for my assessment...just saying #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@MaleszkaJessica @NSWEducation @Chloe26000954 Chloe you rock... Where you find this stuff is beyond me. What a great idea to incorporate into a unit of work on #culturaldiversity. #UoNTeach

Especially in this time of distance learning, creating playlists of educational videos is a good way to support English language learners.

A great idea for connecting students with their cultures. #Culturaldiversity #UoNTeach

[ABC Education @ABCEducationAU]

Learn about the #storytelling traditions that stretch throughout time. Oral histories, myths, legends, folk tales, fairy tales, Aussie yarns and more! https://t.co/rBT0wzJuVE @EdServAus #digibook #English

@MaleszkaJessica Awesome Jess. I may try to incorporate into my unit somewhere.

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

Great resources to help teaching students about Australian Indigenous history. #culturaldiversity #UoNTeach

[ABC Education @ABCEducationAU]

This fabulous collection of resources is not only valuable for #teachers, students and schools, but also all Australians looking to better understand and celebrate Australia's first people and rich #Indigenous #history. It's a great article to bookmark! https://t.co/OInmw9SCtg

"Who's over quoting journal articles on twitter?" #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

A great idea to think about when teaching students about cultural diversity is starting the curriculum with the lived experiences of students, families and the communities that draw from the rich funds of knowledge available (Moll 1992; Gonzalez et al. 2005). #UoNTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

'Teaching Humanities and Social Sciences in the Primary School' (Reynolds, 2014), is a great resource and has some good lesson ideas on the topics for our assessment. #UonTeach

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@_tomhogan Great idea

[AshFalconer @AshFalconer1]

@BenWint51965237 I believe that introducing food and cooking into the curriculum is a great way of helping students learn about diversity. #UoNTeach
