@MorganSandy14 Great news! Be sure to let us know how it goes. Such an effective tool when engaging students - use something they're interested in. #Educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

@MitchBrandon6 My pleasure! I totally agree, getting students engaged is sometimes the most tricky part. Incorporating their interests will make life so much easier for us as teachers #UoNTeach #Educ4750

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

What a great way to introduce #Sustainabledevelopmentgoals to children in the classroom! Would you use this in your class? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG14

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

@ZebJohnston Absolutely! I am also a big believer of student's becoming more confident within themselves as this will allow them to try and do more in the classroom which they previously thought they could not do #UoNTeach #Educ4750

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

Couldn't agree more! What type of assessment do you feel is most effective? #UoNTeach #Educ4750

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Dear students,

No standardized test score will ever be a true judge of your intelligence and character. Just do your best.

Sincerely,
Mr. A

@LachlanMcCabe4 Wonderful! Make sure you let us know how it goes.

#seabins inbound for the Newcastle harbour! The ultimate plan is for funding for a network of 20 sea bins, sucking up 30 tonnes of garbage each year. #UoNTeach #SDG14 #Educ4750

@LachlanMcCabe4 First hand practice and experience is an effective way expose students to issues surrounding #SDG14. This exposure allows them to see the full extent of these issues in real life contexts.

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

@Benjami49687352 What a great way to engage students and foster such important learning skills! I'll be sure to practice these ideas in my classroom

How can we justify spending ridiculous amounts of money on industries that are only hindering the planet we live on? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #sdg14

3. GOVERNMENTS GIVE $35 BILLION TO THE FISHING INDUSTRY EVERY YEAR TO CONTINUE PLUNDERING OUR SEAS.

According to the UN, only $30 billion is needed to solve world hunger.

Thanks for sharing @MissBTeaching. What a great visual representation of how #seabins work in action!

#seabins are a great invention to reduce the amount of rubbish and waste in our oceans. Students could recreate and test these.

Would you use this as an educational tool in a primary school setting?

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

@LukeBoyle7910 Make sure you let us know how the kids go!

For our #SDG14 project, students will be specifically focusing on Targets 14.1 – reduce marine pollution and 14.2 – protect and restore ecosystems

#educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

@LachlanMcCabe4 Great choice! I'll be having my students focus on 14.1 and 14.2 🐬

[Blake Watmore @BlakeWatmore]

In the classroom I will be utilising DeBono's Thinking Hats as a means to foster higher order thinking. #thinkinghats #educ4750 #UoNTeach

Spot on! These are the messages that I will be spreading through the classroom. A deeper understanding at the grassroots level is imperative for change. #Educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG14
