Such a great video! It really shows the positive impact #intergenerationallearning has on our elderly and our children! It really is such a positive way to bring our newest and oldest generations together to learn from and connect with one another! #UoNTeach

Lorraine George researched #intergenerationalcare in the USA. Watch this heartwarming clip of a kindergarten class based in a nursing home in Kansas https://t.co/JLSHumG8Yx

#integenerationallearning has a range of benefits for both younger & older generations. It helps students build social, communication & empathy skills & it helps strengthen the elderly's mental health & relationships. I would love to be able to have this in my own class one day.

This article really shows the benefits of #intergenerationalcare has! We as teachers can bring our students and elders together to positively affect both generations! I hope that when I am able to teach, I am able to use this in my own teaching #teachuon

When researching #intergenerationalcare I noticed that early childcare centers prioritize this over schools. There are many benefits that we as teachers are missing out on when we don't connect our younger & older generations that I would love to use when I am teaching! #teachuon

Our residents in the Charles O'Neill MHACPI unit today got a special visit from the local preschool! The residents loved the company and the children loved learning from their new older pals.
Check out the full story on @nbnnews in Newcastle tonight!

There are so many resources that prove the benefits for all when it comes to #intergenerationalcare! During my research into this topic, my eyes have been truly opened onto how I could use this to help both the younger and older generations in my community! #teachuon

A new intergenerational report has been published today that is well worth a read! ‘The next generation: how intergenerational interaction improves life chances of children and young people’ and can be found at https://t.co/SWKydT4zC2 @united4allages #intergenerationalcare

Having strong bonds between our elderly and our students really helps #integenerationallearning occur and grow! For my own teaching, I would love to be able to connect & work with the elderly to build these connections between generations #teachuon

A great article on the positive impacts of #intergenerationallearing! Through my research into this topic, I've noticed it mostly occurs in US & UK schools, does anyone have any ideas on how we could integrate this into our Aussie schools? #teachuon

@ErinMudford Thanks for sharing, Erin! What a great way to promote cultural diversity in our schools!

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

@LovesRoberson A great clip, Amy! It really highlights the positive impact intergenerational learning/care has on the elderly participating! It's so good for their mental health and helps tackle the loneliness and isolation many of them feel once they're placed in care facilities!

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

A video on TransAge, a program promoting #intergenerationallearning where seniors go into schools and collaborate, play and engage with students! These seniors are trained and become role models for these students, helping them in all areas of curriculum!

#intergenerationallearning serves to help students increase their social awareness, communication skills and helps create a sense of belonging between the children and residents of these schools and homes that participate!

A great video on #intergenerationallearning called SKIP, it really goes into the impacts it has on both students and the elderly involved in these sorts of programs! This particular program uses streaming to connect students and seniors too! #teachuon

This school won The Eisner Award for the integration of #intergenerationallearning into their schooling system! Their focus was on student's reading levels, and their reading levels are now one of the highest in their state of Ohio! #teachuon

@russell_uon oh wow! I love this idea! Not only are students learning about local histories, but they're getting their learning from such valuable, primary sources! It would be really great if students could go see and speak more to the older generation too, it would be so beneficial.

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

#intergenerationallearning allows students to learn to work collaboratively with the elderly, and build social, language and interpersonal skills. It also benefits the elderly by increasing their positive mental health and stopping them from feeling lonely and isolated. #teachuon

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

A great TED Talk on the benefits of Intergenerational Learning! Definitely worth a watch! He talks about students, who have taken up residence in nursing homes, collaborating with and aid the residents in the homes!

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

This video is focused on early education rather than primary education, but really shows how impactful #intergenerationallearning is on both the elderly and children! We could definitely use these ideas to bring this to primary schools! #teachuon

@MrBrettlad @portmacnews I know my friends and I always had so much fun swimming in the lake as kids/teenagers and jumping off the bridge in the summer! We also did vacation care trips there in the summer too as a fun water activity which were fun too!

[Eden Stokes @EdenStokes12]

An interesting read on #intergenerationallearning and how it's finally being recognised as an important tool for educating and connecting both students and the elderly. It's called Intergenerational Learning and Education in Schools and Beyond. #teachuon
