@sarahritchie98 I 100% agree with you @sarahritchie98. After I did some background research on OzHarvest even I started to recognise the positive impacts that I could do to contribute.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

OzHarvest is a community based organisation that inspires kids to understand the importance of healthy eating, sustainability and to be change-makers in their local community. I would recommend the FEAST program to any school. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

@MissNelson98 For my unit I will also be focusing on waste management & composting as I feel it’s an important think for children to be educated in as well as being achievable.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

Some great ideas to help our future generations understand the importance of sustainability. As future teachers we must show them why it’s important not to waste valuable resources and how it impacts our way of everyday living. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

[Tim Black 🌍 @tblackTAB]

Get around these #sustainable consumption & production ideas to support #SDG12 in your school ♻️

@MissNelson98 Thanks for your input @MissNelson98. I never thought of that as like I said I’m more of a Gardner’s MI fan but I do see the benefits of using De Bono’s thinking hats for a lesson like that.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

So what is everyone going to use in their units Gardner’s MI or De Bono’s thinking hats? I personally love and relate to Gardner’s MI more and will be implementing this in my unit. So which one is better let me know what you think? #UoNTeach #educ4750

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

@MissNelson98 @rose_emerton Yes that’s right @MissNelson98. Minecraft is a very underrated ICT tool & I believe it’s most likely because of the lack of training in this area.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

I have had experience teaching a similar lesson using Minecraft to make sustainable farms. The kids loved it as they got to design their own farms. Could not stress enough how good this ICT resource is. Thanks for Sharing @rose_emerton #SDG12 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Rose Emerton @rose_emerton]

What a great way to incorporate an interactive and engaging resource. An ICT resource that allows students to create and design their own vegetable garden. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

@MissNelson98 Yeah that is a great idea. We could also use the money to expand and build more garden beds.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

Return and Earn is a great way to reduce waste. I wonder if we can start having recycling bins located around our playgrounds so that schools can do this and then use the money to help the school with new equipment/essentials. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

@MissNelson98 @ReduceWasteNow_ @MissNelson98 I did not know this! Isn’t there a lot of good life hacks out there to help preserve our foods and reduce the waste.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

If you love avocados as much as me then you probably know the pain of leaving one half in the fridge for too long! Here is a simple and effective tip from @ReduceWasteNow_ to reduce the waste of our precious avocados. 🥑🥑🥑 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

[ReduceWasteNow @ReduceWasteNow_]

1) Place half an onion at the bottom of a reusable container, cut side down.

2) Place the halved avocado skin side touching the onion, as seen in the picture

3) This prevents the halved avocado from turning brown for 5 days up to a whole week!

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

This is a good way of making students and their families aware of waste caused by over-packaging in popular school foods. We could even introduce a PBL where the kids get rewards for bringing waste-free food for lunch. Thanks for sharing @bayleighEDUC #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

[bayleigh @bayleighEDUC]

The waste-Free lunch challenge is a great way for students to be more aware of over-packaging in food! Schools could hold a waste fee lunch to reduce litter and unnecessary packaging and encourage healthy eating! #SDG12 #SDG3 #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

For all you critical and creative thinkers out there have a look at this learning continuum. I love using critical and creative thinking skills and this doc really breaks down how to teach it. Thanks for sharing @MrHansen96 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

[Ryan Hansen @MrHansen96]

Looking to integrate #criticalandcreativethinking as a #generalcapability? Check out this doc from @ACARAeduau (https://t.co/x68Tlg4nWf)! It breaks down the skills that students can display - I'll be looking at Level 3 skills in my unit on #SDG15. #UoNTeach #educ4750

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

@MrHansen96 @ACARAeduau Wow this is fantastic @MrHansen96. I love teaching critical and creative thinking & I will definitely be using this in my unit as well but I’ll be using level 4. Thanks for sharing.

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

8 ways of learning is something I will be using in my unit of work and I encourage other educators to adopt this as it is a great way to implement Aboriginal education in your lesson. Community links is such an important one and can be used in any SDG. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

What a simple but great way to demonstrate to others how to reduce waste. This shows how easy it can be and if you can do at least 1 of these practices a day then you’re already helping reduce waste. Thanks for sharing @earutherford01 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

[Emily Rutherford @earutherford01]

I’m tweeting “♻️REDUCE WASTE!♻️” because yes, it’s important but I needed to give examples of how to do so! They need pictures not just words - so here are some simple everyday practices we can change to help reduce waste. #educ4750 #sdg12 #UoNTeach

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

Too good not to share with my fellow teachers! If you get stuck and need some ideas for lesson plans make sure you checkout this website as it has great and up to date lessons and resources. Thanks for sharing @HayleyMaree___.

[Hayley @HayleyMaree___]

PSA: Attention all my teaching buddies!! This site has incredible unit & lesson plans linked to the #SDG's. Enjoy. I can't wait to use these!! 😃

I found this rather amusing as social media blows up with the drama from the Oscars but when comparing it to “real world problems” I feel it is not spoken about enough. Let’s teach our kids what is really important in our world. Who else agrees? #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG

[MrRodger @RobdogRodDog96]

@HayleyMaree___ Thanks for sharing @HayleyMaree___. Had a quick look and it does contain some good lessons & resources that I could use for my next assignment.
