@BeazleyEliza I didn’t know we had signs at Merewether, that is so good to hear. Wouldn’t it be great if our students created some new Take 3 for the sea signs for our other local beaches.
@BeazleyEliza Including our community is a great way for our students to teach and learn from members of society. I am also creating a mural that will be displayed in the community for everyone to admire!
@graceconley121 Thanks so much for sharing local areas to source bee-wax! I would love to create these with my students, showing them how simple it is to switch to sustainable practices!
@graceconley121 What a great interactive game to incorporate ICT into our units of #lifebelowwater. Wow an 11 year old… this could encourage our students to believe they too can create a fun app!
Goodman and Hook (2016) highlight the educational benefits of creating connections and relationships between students, families and the wider community. My project for #educ4750 will see our school art mural displayed in a local art gallery. #UoNTeach#sdg14
@BeazleyEliza What a great way to utilise what is around us to help teach #sdg14. It’s so great for our students to see initiatives being taken to protect #lifebelowwater right on our door step!
@BeazleyEliza Thanks for sharing such a great resource that allows for critical thinking from our students. We could use the blue headings from the resource as conversation starters for group conversations…what a great way to create collaboration amongst our students!
This news article from last week promotes using Zero Co’s single-use plastic free products. Love seeing @newcastleherald using their platform to promote ‘giving single-use plastic the flick.’ Have a read! https://t.co/gtR81jtORD
In my unit on #sdg14 I’m going to show my students what our oceans look like through VR headsets. This confronting learning experience will allow them to see life through the lens of our innocent sea animals. Let’s protect our #lifebelowwater#UoNTeach#educ4750
Happy World Water Day 💧
Did you know that two billion people live without access to safe water?
4ocean is committed to ending the ocean plastic crisis, but we need your help to get there.
What an amazing local initiative! Thanks for sharing @howell_jemma. I’ll definitely add this into my unit of work on #sdg14. I love their punch line on their website “if you can scrunch it, you can save it!” ♻️
‘My Little Plastic Footprint’ is an interactive app that our students can use to calculate their plastic footprint. Wouldn’t it be great to see our footprint at the beginning and on competition of our integrated unit of work on #sdg14. #educ4750#UoNTeach
@Uni_Newcastle partnership to protect oceans from oil spills is doing great things! Professor Broadfoot stated “tackling the world’s major environmental issues requires a truly collaborative approach such as this.” Let’s get our students involved! 🐳 #sdg14#educ4750#UoNTeach
What a confronting statistic posted by @UniCReseau. What a great conversation starter for our students. How else could we encourage our students to want to take action towards protecting our #lifebelowwater ? #sdg14#educ4750#UoNTeach
@DanaHolz10 I always thought I’d do an artwork of some sort made from recycled materials, but this has given me some new inspiration for my community project! Thank you!
@DanaHolz10 this is such a great way to encourage our community to discard rubbish correctly. Wouldn’t it be amazing if our students could be apart of designing artworks for local bins that convey the importance of protecting #lifebelowwater. #sdg14#UoNTeach#educ4750
