Have a read of ACER's research on effective 21st century learning.
The paper discusses how 21st century learning can be incorporated into learning and the benefits for students in and beyond the classroom.

@gwin_uon Definitely worth the watch!
The facts throughout the video really makes me question how I will prepare my students for jobs of the 21st century. Especially when they haven't even been created yet!

Great link to get an insight into the importance of contextualising learning.
"Let our students be part of the solution" - this enables students to become informed citizens and active learners of real-world problems.

Have a quick read of this! A useful article that outlines how to make learning tangible and authentic through real-world problem solving. Some great ideas for our #sustainability units and community based projects #UoNTeach https://t.co/sxqRRwWfU7

@Indiana_Steel @Jade_uon So many great resources in one picture!
It is so important to make the next generation aware of the importance of #sustainability and their role in ensuring a #sustainablefuture.

@Daisy4750 How sad, but true.
I couldn't tell you my family history from three generations ago...

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

Great link here @Daisy4750 !
I am also looking forward to reading this book and the strategies presented about 21st century learning.

Great to see how schools get involved in #schoolscleanupday. St Alipius PS cleaned up a local reserve. The benefit here is reciprocal - Students learn about caring & sustaining the environment, the community benefit from cleaning up the reserve.

I just watched a great video from TEDx Talks on 21st century learning.
Student quote from the video: "I like technology, but the teachers like the books". - What a powerful statement.

Strategies to allow students to become engaged and empowered citizens - I will be watching this space!

My strategy suggestion: developing curriculum design related to real-life contexts. Here's some more info on contextualised practice: https://t.co/5SekpGWXLG

@shauntrindall @brisbanetimes Both furry friends were unharmed!
Problem was resolved by some googling to find the contact for the @portstephenskoalas. The Koala was rescued in a matter of an hour!
Here's a photo of Kara the Koala prior to rescue.

Some great Saturday night reading material!
Melaville et al. (2006). Community-based Learning: Engaging students for success and citizenship.
The article discusses the importance of involving community in the classroom.

2018 #recycleweek theme: 'Recycling. We do. Because it matters.' Great theme for schools to link learning to #sustainablefutures. Why not invite local council to inform students of the importance of #recycling. Here's Gosford Council EDU program: https://t.co/BV2iwWaPmf #UoNTeach

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

@shannongrace116 Great link with such easy suggestions to make your life #plasticfree!
I think people, myself included, would think it is too difficult to be plastic free.

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

@JacobTFryer I agree Jacob!
It's a great to involve the community in classroom learning and connect learning to real-life contexts.

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

No plastic wrap, no foil, no zip lock bags = no waste on the school playground!
I was excited to read in a school's newsletter that they were hosting a "waste free lunch week".What a great initiative!
Here's a link to make your lunch #wastefree. #UoNTeach

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

@recycle_now This theme could be incorporated into school curricula with an educative focus - Why does recycling matter? Why not get in contact with local Council to host an incursion about recycling responsibilities. Here's Gosford Council's environmental program:

@edutopia Great advice on this link!
PBL is such an effective way to promote 21st century skills such as collaboration and self-regulation. It also connects learning with the local community.

[Heidi Wheeler @HeidiWheeler95]

@NSWEducation Schools of the future will use 6 skills of 21st century learning: Collaboration, knowledge construction, self-regulation, real-world problem solving, ICT for learning and skilful communication.
Schools of the future need to prepare students for jobs of the future.
