@OliviaD6868 What a great idea Olivia! That will definitely help reduce your plastic footprint!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

So sad seeing this is our own backyard, in saying that it is also a teaching opportunity waiting to happen! What could you change to use less plastic use within your classroom? #UoNteach #educ4750

[Reaghan Ghys @ReaghanGhys]

The current state of Newcastle’s beaches after the most recent storms. Looks at all the debris that’s been washed up and left!! Plastic, rubbish, etc. We must do better! #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg14

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@ReaghanGhys Imagine the empowerment students will be able to feel knowing they have been apart of something that will help protect future generations to come! Such small steps making a BIG difference!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@ReaghanGhys Incursions are just as important as excursions, Sea Shepherd Australia visiting would be so interesting for students and a great introduction to #SDG14

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@ReaghanGhys BTN is a fantastic resource, during this unit of work I have also found National Geographic to be helpful and useful as well 🙂

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@ReaghanGhys What a great picture! So eye catching! My students will be creating murals with recycled materials such as bottle caps, straws, plastic bags and paper towel rolls. How are you incorporating artwork into your #educ4750 unit?

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@DanaHolz10 Another great resource! Thanks for sharing Dana.

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

National Geographic is filled with facts and knowledge to educate us on many topics. This video https://t.co/bpYrwahmhc is a great resource to include in my unit of work for #SDG14. What other resources do you think I could use? #UoNteach #educ4750

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@BeazleyEliza What a great resource thanks for sharing Eliza, I will be sure to check out BTN!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@DanaHolz10 I’m planning on using the local beach and also Merewether Aquarium! How about you, what assets are you using?

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@DanaHolz10 Such a great idea! My students will be completing something similar but displaying it at the local museum!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@SarahPrice720 Imagine being a student who created a sign, being at the beach and seeing someone read your sign and pick up rubbish and put it in the bin, how empowered and accomplished would they feel?! Such a great idea!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

What a great idea allowing students to design their own signs to be displayed within the local community to help combat plastic pollution! #educ4750 #UoNteach #sdg14

[Tiffany Bartlett EDUC4750 Pre-Service Teacher @Tabartlett5]

@Take3fortheSea is a great initiative to reduce plastic pollution along our beaches. Here are some signs in my local community (Port Macquarie) to encourage this. Students could easily design their own signs to display in their local community. 🌏👣📸

@BeazleyEliza By displaying the students creations around the classroom, it will be a constant reminder for them on simple ways to reduce plastic waste. Great idea Eliza!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@CaitlanTull @BeazleyEliza You are right Caitlin that is a confronting statistic! This clip could be the start of a student realising that they need to take better care of our environment! Thanks for sharing Eliza!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@BeazleyEliza Wow! What an image, it caught my eye straight away! Think of the deep conversations that can be had with students surrounding this image and the pieces of work they could create in many KLAs such as creative arts and English!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@BeazleyEliza What a great resource! I also found these two sources of literature that I will be using in my #sdg14 unit of work project!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

The integration of TPACK within my unit of work around #SDG14 will ensure that the relationship between technology, pedagogy and content knowledge is clear to make our unit goal achievable (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) #UoNteach #educ4750

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@__jason_hart__ My students are going to be creating artwork to display in the local community. They will be using technology to research what materials will be suitable for their project and local areas within the community where they can display their projects.

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

Technology use within the classroom can help support students learning through connecting them with history and modern day events and provide tools to help shape their future (Ferguson, et, al., 2019). What technology will you be using in you #educ4750 unit?

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

@SarahPrice720 Agreed! Sometimes it's about making small simple changes that result in big outcomes!

[Sam Cannon @Sam_cannon_]

10 simple ways to keep our planet healthy for generations to come. 7 out of 8 states and territories in Australia have committed to ban single-use plastics. Go to https://t.co/PJQHFaIbOj to sign a petition to ban single-use plastics in ALL of Australia! #UoNteach #educ4750 #SDG14

During my integrated unit based around #sdg14 students will be focusing on working together collaboratively to create a project, I really like the idea of forming "teams" not "groups"! #UoNteach #educ4750
