@rose_emerton I agree! Community-based pedagogies allow for place-based learning which incorporates more relatable and relevant resources for students.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

Port Macquarie Coastal Warriors is a volunteer organisation with an aim to prevent litter ending up in the sea. Reaching out and involving your students in the community makes a unit of work more realistic and relatable. #UoNteach #educ4750 #SDG14

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Yes it's great! If you follow the link, World's Largest Lesson have some other great resources that are linked to the Sustainable Development Goals and would work great in an interactive classroom.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

A very insightful resource for the classroom that looks at ocean pollution, overfishing, and coral damage as a result of rising sea temperatures. What a great way to involve students in learning about #SDG14

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Coastal Warriors is definitely a great community asset to have for our community! Students can explore their own local area through learning about sustainability.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton There's also some other great videos that look at the other #SDGs which I highly recommend!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

A great introductory video into #sdg14 and the main issues with Life Below Water; overfishing, pollution, and rising sea temperatures. Engaging students with a video is a great way to introduce a lesson. #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach

@rose_emerton Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check them out!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@Brook_bailey_98 I agree! Play-based learning is a great way for all students to be hands on and learn in an engaging and fun way.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

Introducing LEGO into our classroom is a great way for students to learn through play-based activities. Use LEGO to design a model that reduces plastic waste in our oceans and works towards a sustainable future. #sdg14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[The Ocean Cleanup @TheOceanCleanup]

To develop large cleanup systems, you sometimes need to step away from the laptop and visualize things differently. Our team used LEGO to simulate System 003 operations and plan logistics for this first full-scale system (1800m span) that we aim to deploy later this year.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Yes of course. Community-based pedagogies support place-based learning and allows for content to be more relevant and relatable for students.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC It would definitely be great for students to investigate the reason behind melting ice caps. The Antarctic plays such a massive role in the Earths ecosystems and they're essential in sustaining life on Earth.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

Ice shelves serve as a natural buffer, protecting Antarctic glaciers from melting. If these don't exist and the glaciers melt, all the new water could drive a rise in sea level for decades. Let's teach our students about what is happening to our plant! #SDG14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

The Conger Ice Shelf, a mass of ice spanning approximately 460 square miles, has collapsed.

You can help Antarctica by signing on to secure the largest act of ocean protection in history! Visit the link to make your voice heard.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Yes for sure! I think teaching about waste management, water conservation and growing food could become really fun and engaging lessons.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton National Geographic have lots of great resources to look at when discussing #SDG14!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

The National Geographic have some great resources to help us educate students about the importance of cleaning up our oceans and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Do you know where your rubbish ends up? #educ4750 #UoNteach #SDG14

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton I totally agree! It's so important for our future generations to learn about the sustainability of our planet and what life on Earth will look like for them as an adult.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

We should encourage students to become aware and interested in learning about our planet. Children are our future and they have a right to take informed action in protecting our world. #EDUC4750 #UoNteach #SDGs #SDG14

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC Thanks for the fact! I also think asking questions like this could be a great way to begin a student-lead research task.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC I agree, it's great when students are passionate about what they're learning. It's important for students to feel like their education is meaningful and making a difference in their lives.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Me too! Solving big issues start with small things like picking up rubbish. Everyone can make a difference!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

#Take3 is a great initiative to get your class involved in learning about #SDG14 and look at practical ways they can take care of our oceans. I challenge you to take 3 pieces of rubbish with you next time you visit the beach. #EDUC4750 #UoNteach

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC I agree, it makes such a difference to the engagement of learning when students are able to connect their ideas with relatable experiences!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton Thanks for your input! What a great idea for a cross-curricular activity.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

Here's a link to a great visual resource you can use with your students for #SDG14. It's an interactive climate timeline and you can see the ice caps melting and our planet heating over years. How would you use this resource in a lesson?

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC What a great idea to get students out and about while learning about sustainability. Place-based learning is a great way to engage students in real-world experiences!

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@rose_emerton A great list that you could hang in the classroom! Personally, I love making my own wrapping paper and taking my reusable bags to do my groceries.

[Rebecca @Miss_RTurner]

@bayleighEDUC What a great way to bring a community asset into the school and engage students in interactive learning! A community garden would open up lots of opportunities for learning in different KLA's.
