@JuliaCutajar @ABCEducationAU @ABCEducationAU also mentions a great sustainble activity involving making reusable t-shirt bags. How cool and innovative is this?! Students will love it!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

How do you promote sustainability in your classroom? @ABCEducationAU is a great online, easily accessible resource to use! I love having 3 bins in the classroom with 1 labelled as "what can we make?" for S to place any loose materials or rubbish to repurpose! #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@JuliaCutajar @ABCEducationAU You're very welcome! You should try implementing this sustainability strategy within your classroom and let me know how it goes!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 I would love to set a "project challenge" for the class where students are to design their own sustainable vegetable garden where one will be chosen to use as the design for the whole school vegetable garden project!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

What an interactive activity for students to create their own vegetable garden using Keynote. Students not only apply ICT skills but promote SDG 12 and work towards content outcomes in the Geography, Maths, Science and Technology syllabus. #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Kirsten Rangitaawa @Kirsten_R_]

Kids were happy to spend this afternoon planning our vege gardens using Keynote #takpschool

@Meeeeese Thank you Mitch, I would love to use this video in the classroom as a topic introduction for students to complete a research project on the objects in their school environment and present whether they believe it is all just rubbish!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

What a great video to really get the message across....is everything really made of rubbish? This video is a great asset for teachers to use in the classroom to plan for an activity where students design their own ad to gain recognition of SDG12. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

@JuliaCutajar What a great resource to share, thank you Julia! Which activity would you choose to implement in your classroom to support a specific chose SDG goal and why?

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@JuliaCutajar Using PBE to support recycling I would give S a topic list where they select one they are passionate about & create a piece from the topic out of recyclable materials! Giving S a choice in what they want supports their agency and promotes a mastery of higher academic standards!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@JuliaCutajar Thank you for this important point Julia! I do believe it is never too early to involve students to be active global citizens and have a basic understanding of the environment and it's impacts made by us as humans.

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

In the US in 2018, 292.4m tons of trash were generated, 146.1m tons ended up in landfill. What a great conversation starter for your classroom to lead it with a think, pair, share to get the students brain thinking and to reflect on this appalling fact! #SDG12 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@BrittAckroyd Thank you Brittany! That is definitely true, this activity could be linked to a topic that still incorporates learning about sustainability with the materials used! So many opportunities here!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

This activity is suitable for all primary school-aged children and promotes SG12 as students are learning about responsible consumption and sustainable use of recycable materials. What would you create? #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 What a great idea Brook! I love this link you have made with not only Science and Geography syllabus outcomes but Creative Arts as well!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@JuliaCutajar Thank you for your thoughts Julia! Hands-on learning is definitely being implemented more within 21st Century learning and receives high engagement from both students and teachers for learning.

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

How can learning be taught using natural materials? Save on plastic resources and use the environmental materials to teach numeracy to children which still achieves the same goal and is more engaging! Little things working towards a more sustainable future. #UoNTeach #educ4750

[PlayingWithLightning @FDK_Lightning]

We like to start off the year with lots of counting. Using natural materials and ten frames to count outside today! #mathbehaviours #outdoorlearning #kindergarten #naturalmaterials

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@biancaljamison What a great idea Bianca! We could also do a workshop with students where they can make their own beeswax wraps and bring these every day to school to wrap their lunches whilst also learning about its sustainable benefits.

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

Here is an example of an initiative running in America to help reduce food waste in school cafeterias. Thinking about this, how might we apply this approach to Australian schools? #SDG12 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[CRB Cunninghams @CRBCunninghams]

Today is Stop Food Waste Day, and at CRBC, we’re looking at how our cashless catering software can help schools reduce their food wastage and save money.

@teacher_access Thank you for your input Natasha! That is an informative point that highlights the positive functions of Twitter, further showcasing its uses which are easily accessible to everyone.

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

Carpenter et al (2014) highlight that Twitter is most used by educators for communication + sharing of resources. Do you agree that this is a positive platform for teachers to combat isolation and connect with colleagues? Share your thoughts.. #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 What a great piece of literature to use Brook! Not only are students learning about SDG12 but they are learning to pose questions, inquire, collaborate and investigate whilst engaging in both literacy and science syllabus outcomes!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 S could work in pairs where one creates a world where an ocean is contaminated with rubbish and the other creates a world where the ocean is rubbish free and the surrounding environment is clean! Students could then write down the effects these 2 worlds have on the environment!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 What a great idea to link content with global events! It would awesome to do a day at school where no technology is used in the classroom!

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@twinklresources is a wonderful tool to use. This activity is suitable for all primary school-aged children and promotes SG12 as students are learning about responsible consumption and sustainable use of recycable materials. What would you create? #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@twinklresources is a wonderful tool to use. This activity below is suitable for all primary school-aged children and works towards SDG12 as students are practising responsible consumption and sustainable use of recyclable materials. What would you create? #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Eve Pollard @EvePollard_]

@Brook_bailey_98 I definetly agree! It is very hard for teachers to be able to brainstorm all ideas themselves, which is why Twitter is so great for resource sharing and connecting with other educators!
