I am studying my 4th year of primary teaching at the University of Newcastle. I have a passion for education and I cannot wait to share it with the world! 🌏
Having a terrific time at Future Focused Learning STEM conference ##FFLSTEM2019 Feeling very inspired to make great changes to my teaching and learning! @SISPProgram
Congratulations to Narellan Vale Public School, taking one step closer to a sustainable future♻️. I love seeing schools getting involved in the #returnandearn scheme! I wonder what they're going to put the earnings towards? 💲💵💰 https://t.co/RbmvLAuk1D
Cannot wait to take the class on an excursion to visit the Envirobank Recycling in West Gosford that, it has now opened their very own #returnandearn depot! #UoNTeach#Sustainability https://t.co/HYeEVWbcOf
Envirobank #ReturnandEarn depot NOW OPEN in #WestGosford!
#Recycle unlimited volumes of refundable bottles and cans at our new automated depot on the #CentralCoast.
Service is ultra-friendly and super fast. @NSWGovCDS @LucyWicksMP https://t.co/fP21OOOj0M
Because I used a reverse vending machine (RVM) I was able to donate my refund to a local charity! Can anybody guess how much money I made from these containers I collected at my local #returnandearn collection point? 🤔 #UoNTeach#Sustainablefutures
Congratulations to the Darkinjung Land Council, they've received funding through the NSW Environmental Trust to install cabling and bollards to prevent illegal dumping! Check out their latest newsletter! #sustainabiility#UoNTeach#supportingthecommunity https://t.co/XvsL8HgcQo
Did you know?
Easter egg foil can be recycled! So if you have any Easter egg foil don’t forget to put it in your yellow bin, along with rigid plastic containers and cardboard packaging too!

Partnerships with communities are an essential part of integrated sustainability programmes(Green & Somerville, 2014). So remember, if you're thinking of teaching an integrated #sustainability program then be sure to use community assets and get the community involved! #UoNTeach
I'd like to share this amazing app with everyone! @BookCreatorApp allows students to make digital notebooks for the 21st century classroom! It's a great resource for developing students #21stcenturyskills and #ICTskills! #UoNTeach https://t.co/y12Td94tjD
@Bookcreatorapp is one of our favourites. Here is a 20+ minute video tutorial covering many of the tools. Feel free to share it with colleagues/pupils. https://t.co/PbpJzN1zt9 #edtech#ipaded#mlearning
This is definitely something teachers must be aware of when teaching! I like to use open ended questions to support #problemsolving in the class by allowing students to be more critical and creative thinkers! Thanks @Daisy4750#UoNTeach#21stcenturyskills https://t.co/bbDBu07r3a
Problem solving is not just figuring out the right answer, but making solutions for problems that don’t have an answer (Microsoft, 2015). #UoNTeach#21stcenturylearning#6skills

I love this idea thanks @JacobTFryer ! We’ve decided to use this idea to make another bin to support the #ReturnandEarn scheme where students can put their containers in! #UoNTeach https://t.co/SzPJhCo1s0
It’s never too early to start learning appropriate waste management strategies! (Seen in front of a local kindergarten classroom). Adding picture labels to the bins is a great idea for younger children. #UoNTeach#recycling
We’ve been creating journey maps in class this week! Journey maps are a great activity when teaching #sustainability because it’s important to look at the life cycle of products to determine how environmentally friendly they are in order to take action and create change #UoNTeach
Did you know? South Australia has the longest running container deposit scheme in Australia and sees a 76.5% return rate for their beverage containers! So excited to be a part of New South Wales #returnanearn scheme! #doingmybit#sustainabiliy#UoNTeach
This is exactly why I had created a Integrated unit of work with a global perspective focus on #sustainability. We must reverse Australia’s #STEM decline! Spread the word and make a difference in Australian schools today before the decline continues! #UoNTeach#Doingmybit https://t.co/9TnAn1TxGv
Discover with [rd] – An integrated curriculum and early intervention are crucial to reverse Australia’s #STEM decline, says report released this week | Research Developments https://t.co/k3UvHzn01S
I would like to share this fantastic organisation with any professionals in the education industry! If you're working in a School and thinking of planning an integrated KLA global unit then why not implement the #ReturnandEarn scheme and get in touch with @nepeandist#UoNTeach https://t.co/hJ333OgN2y
Thankyou for the resource @Indiana_Steel, I will be sure to read some with my class! Also check out "The Hugging Tree:A story about Resilience". It's about a tree surviving in the natural world and the compassion of one little boy, awarded finalist for 2015 Green Award #UoNTeach https://t.co/ucmiAzM8dc
@Indiana_Steel Wow! Thanks for the resource, this is amazing I will be sure to read some with my class. Also check out "The Hugging Tree: A story about Resilience". It's about a tree surviving in the natural world and the compassion of one little boy, awarded a finalist for the 2015 Green Award
This is such a powerful video, not only does it focus on bottle caps but this video was even created using found bottle caps to further demonstrate its impact in our oceans and on our beaches.#UoNTeach#doingmybit#recycling https://t.co/Jsas06qo3A via @YouTube
