@Raywyn2 Developing and promoting responsibility within our students is going to support them in becoming active participants of the community. It's great that this can then be taken beyond both the classroom and local community in the 21st Century.

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@ClaudiaRussell4 Integrating the 4C's into a unit of work promotes student centred learning, developing independent and responsible students. It's great you will be advocating for change, hopefully your students will learn from you and take this empowerment into the future

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@DanielSangster6 sometimes it's the little things that make the most difference int he minds of children, thanks for the suggestions!

Australia shows high levels of #biodiversityloss nationally, how could students assist in lessoning this statistic locally and informing schools across the nation to take action?

@ClaudiaRussell4 That sounds like a great idea, I’m sure local governments would be on board with community help in areas of sustainability and biodiversity. Thanks!

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@ClaudiaRussell4 Can't think of much better than having inquisitive and resourceful 21C learners in my classroom!

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

21st Century Skills have helped me develop understanding of #sustainability and #biodiversity through a range of valuable sources, I can't wait to see how students use these strategies in the future to communicate, discuss and extend their knowledge beyond any boundary! #uonteach

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@ClaudiaRussell4 That sounds great! Students could look at the functional uses of some seaweeds that have the ability to function in different ways. Further research on these ideas will only build inquisitive and resourceful students, essential skills for the 21C!

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@KaylaWicks8 This sounds like great way to include students of a range of nationalities into the scope as well. Sustainability is global, involving students within their local community is only going to build upon their global perspective and appreciation of their community as a whole

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

Taking classroom education into the community develops students awareness of community service, increasing the value of their 21st century knowledge. We can't let standardised testing continue to devalue community knowledge or professional judgement (Comber, 2016) #uonteach

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@SandieThorncra1 @BradleyMcdean @lakemac It would be great to hear of some results when things have moved along a bit further, I think more classrooms could benefit from seeing schools use these strategies effectively

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@BronteEmm Absolutely, the benefits of increasing both flora and fauna biodiversity is unbelievable. Who would have thought that having a perfectly maintained lawn could have such a negative impact? There are so many things we can do to improve students overall health and wellbeing. Thanks!

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

Does the natural elimination of plant species in our ecosystem have an impact on maintaining and building upon #biodiversity? I think yes!

Help students take actions to provide their #localgeography with #sustainable futures, it's in their hands!

#uonteach

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

Building knowledge of fieldwork and community involvement has allowed me to see benefits of teaching students about community using 21st Century Learning skills, it is important to develop their #globalperspective of similar issues happening worldwide #uonteach #sustainability

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@IsabellaGay22 An annual community project would be great, students in the local community could help out with this every year! Thanks for sharing Geogspace, looks like a fantastic resource to use with the students

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

Last year the community got involved in replanting dune vegetation on Nine Mile beach, further and ongoing assistance from local school children could provide valuable knowledge about local geography whilst helping restore the dunes for years to come #uonteach #LakeMac

[Belmont Wetlands SP @Belmontwetlands]

Thanks for an outstanding effort this morning! With 22 helpers we planted 2 large areas in need of vegetation. Great work team.

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@JockThompson3 This is fantastic! Would also be great to see students implement this in their local community, I know I haven't seen anything like this locally. I'm sure different community groups, including the elderly, would be interested in helping out on such a great project

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@JamesEd08812719 @NSWEducation It really is fantastic to see these initiatives thriving into the future, it really is so easy. The impacts students can have on the local community are just endless!

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

Evidence of students benigiting from community development for years to come! Would love to hear of some other stories of students planting and assisting in ecosystem regrowth #UoNteach #ecosystem #localgov @NSWEducation

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@KaylaWicks8 @lakemac Thanks @KaylaWicks8, @LandcareAust are doing some wonderful things to help the environment. I'm looking to update some of their local study data with my students in a #biodiversity focused unit. This will be a great knowledge building resource to share with the students

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

This initiative from @lakemac is a great start for development of #biodiversity within your school community, teaching students the importance of maintaining, developing and respecting #community projects

Wonderful to be part of a #sustainablyaware community!

For Schools https://t.co/ts3fdMrjRo
Lake Macquarie City Council are offering free plants for schools who are wanting to start a community garden! This is a wonderful incentive for schools! @lakemac #UoNTeach

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage offers some valuable information about the possible extinction of both plant and animal species, and the $100 million allocated to the #saveourspecies program over 5 years

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

It's not until you stop and think about different types of plants in our environment that we understand the importance of a #florishingbiodiversity. So many different types of plants have a different purpose in our ecosystem, it's time to let them grow! #uonteach #nswgov

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@AlastairFrase11 Thanks for sharing! Great to see so many ways of integrating 21st century skills in the classroom, I'll definitely be looking to include some of these into my classroom for years to come

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@IsabellaGay22 Sounds like this is going to be a great unit! Awesome to see the integration and relation of a range of cultures and heritage within the classroom, the students are going to benefit deeply from exploring their own identity

[Jayde Robertson @JaydeRobertson5]

@KeelanAmee This looks like a great initiative for future learning spaces, I would love to see where this has been used and its functionality in developing students awareness of renewable energy whilst helping the environment at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
