Have a read of this article about the wonderful things this group is doing for our environment. They've recently been active in a clean up of beaches around Port Macquarie. Such a great community asset. #SDG14#UoNTeach

@ShonaCreighton For sure! I think it's so important to support all learners in the classroom so having the audio-visual aids will hopefully improve students critical and analytical thinking
An excellent resource that could be used in your classroom as an introduction for students in understanding the harms being contributed to our life below water. #lifebelowwater#EDUC4750#UoNteach#sdg14

@ShonaCreighton I think it's so important, to begin by reflecting on our connections with the ocean, which I believe is a way of enhancing engagement and deeper meaning for ongoing learning.
It's so important to celebrate our connection to the ocean as a starting point when diving into learning about #SDG14 and its global impact with students. These are just some of the ways we are connected to our ocean in our everyday life. #lifebelowwater

Celebrate your connection to the ocean๐ ๐ #SDG14
Here is a great resource for schools to help get onboard the 'Save life below water' train ๐๐ฆ #SDG14 ๐๐ฝhttps://t.co/QZDB3t4i1f
If you want to create sustainable citizens of the future it all starts in the classroom ๐
@ShonaCreighton Such an inspiring program for schools that can also engage the community. So many great initiatives like this out there around plastic pollution which is so great to see
A local community engagement program to collect, recycle and reuse soft plastics! It's critical that we are educated on better managing and reducing our plastic footprint. This would be a great implementation for all schools #UoNTeach#SDG14

@ShonaCreighton@Georgialoads It is what we need. I'll be including lots of infographics and informative texts throughout my unit, to help stimulate critical and creative thinking for my students
These statistics are disgusting.
Change for the future is essential and our oceans need our help!
I'm looking forward to creating my unit with lessons that will educate and engage students on the importance of our oceans.
Thanks for sharing @Georgialoads#SDG14#UoNTeach
A great literature resource that I'd love to incorporate into my unit plan, Little Pago aims to disseminate the message to kids about the crucial role each of us can play in keeping our ocean's marine life safe for future generations! #SDG14#UoNTeach

Inspiring a new generation of ocean advocates, the fictional childrenโs book Little Pago spreads the Take 3 message far and wide.

Love BTN! A fantastic informative and entertaining ICT resource. I'm very thrilled they did an episode on the effects of plastic pollution on our environment. 'll definitely be looking to incorporate this into my unit plan, when exploring #SDG14. #UoNTeach#educ4750

BTN is a fantastic educational resource as it incorporates the use of ICT & engages students in 21st Century Learning. This episode explores the issue of plastic pollution & its effect on the environment, a huge focus for our #lifebelowwater unit!
@DanaHolz10 Definitely! I was thinking of having students, families and community members contribute a variety of plastic waste that could be used to create an effective mural, conveying such an important message!
Such a wonderful idea for a school/community project! You could recreate a mural similar to this in your school, using a range of plastic waste collected by students to help convey the critical message of reducing plastic pollution to protect our beautiful ocean.#SDG14#UoNTeach
@HelenaEcimovic I love how much ICT is developing so that students can engage with such creative programs to further their learning! I love exploring and finding so many great resources and websites, particularly around such an important global issue
Skills such as creativity, collaboration, ICT for learning and problem-solving stand out the most to me when thinking about 21st Century skills for education for sustainability. I will definitely be considering these skills when working through my unit plan. #SDG14#UonTeach
The Port Macquarie Hastings Sustainability Network brings together local community members & organisations with a shared vision toward a sustainable future. I would love to involve them as a community asset within my unit plan. #SDG14#UoNTeach https://t.co/n3U96DH1nj
I will be involving @seashepherd as a community asset for my school project. They offer the perfect platform to start discovering ocean education and dive deeper into conservation issues. It's wonderful that they visit schools to provide this information. @SDG14#UoNTeach
@MissWolfe00@HelenaEcimovic Definitely! so glad we all agree. I think critical and creative thinking is an essential capability for students to become successful learners now and as they step into the future ๐
I will be focusing on Critical and Creative Thinking and Literacy when learning about #SDG14 and #Sustainability. I believe with these capabilities in action, students are encouraged to think creatively about appropriate courses of action. #SDG14#UoNTeach
Port Macquarie Hastings Sustainability Network brings together local business people, community members and organisations in PMQ area with a shared vision of a sustainable future. This is a great community asset that could be used by students when looking at #SDG13! #educ4750
@Mitchel48981334 I believe so! I think it would cultivate a positive and progressive school culture. It would also be so useful in bringing together environmental education and community engagement
@DanaHolz10 I'm inspired by this idea and have just retweeted it myself! Such a wonderful to display them at local beaches. Would be really cool if the murals included plastic pollution collected from the local beaches themselves. #SDG14#UoNTeach
