Researching #Globaleducation for my integrated #CulturalDiversity unit of work, has inspired me to be a teacher that not only encourages students to be aware of cultural differences, but to think critically and be respectful of cultures that differ to their own. #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

A teacher's role is not as effective without the support of the community. #Twitter provides opportunities to collaborate, research, gather information and resources on a global scale and has allowed me to develop an integrated unit, significant to all primary students. #UoNTeach

It is great to see the #21stcenturyskills occurring in school assignments. Integrating social media and web 2.0 sites into classroom lessons, provides students with tools to interact, research and communicate with others on similar topics (Carpenter & Krutka, 2014). #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

#21stcenturyskills require students to think critically about the content being delivered. Kidman (2019) explains how #inquirybasedlearning projects, allow students to make meaning and relate to real world concepts. Can you integrate IBL into your lessons? #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

This statistical fact sheet on Australian #culturaldiversity(AHRC, 2013) is a great cross curricula resource, allowing students to reflect, discuss, collaborate and think critically about how these statistics have changed since publication. #UonTeach https://t.co/4cwk0M7tKh

Referring to #globaleducation, it's important not to forget how diverse our country traditionally is. Referring to Aboriginal language maps, provides students with an understanding that #culturaldiversity is not just a modern concept. https://t.co/omSPm3k9VZ #UoNTeach

@Claire_spective I really like this idea of the 7th Hat = Uncertainty. I can visualise how this could be implemented in the classroom. Great discussions, integrating knowledge of students leaning toward a peer teaching aspect could take place with this 7th Hat. #UoNTeach #DeBonossixthinkinghats

[TamT @TT3220920]

Kivunja (2015) discusses how De Bono's six thinking hats can be used to teach 21st Century skills of critical thinking and problem solving. What pedagogical strategies do you use, allowing students to view content from different perspectives? #UoNTeach, #21stcenturylearning

[TamT @TT3220920]

Culturally relevant pedagogies honour the diverse cultural and linguistic knowledge base of students, their families and community (Goodman & Hooks, 2016). Providing a connection between school and home life is significant to student learning and achievement. #UonTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

How would you define 21st Century Learning? Doyle (2016) provides an insight into three domains of competence required to educate and prepare today's students for their future. https://t.co/EqvsUSuktH #UONTeach, #21stcenturylearning, #globaleducation

@CharlotteMunni1 Growing up I had a pen pal from Japan. I learnt a lot about her life through letters/pictures. Culturally Responsive Schooling is also a way for teachers to foster student learning and integration through cultures(Vass, 2017). These books provide a great starting point.#UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

Curricula Integration of Key Learning Areas (KLA's) has been recognised to enhance students' learning experiences. Enriching their connections to the real world through various learning styles provides exposure to multiple perspectives of content (Hudson, 2012). #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

Freiss et al. (2016) acknowledge the importance to extend on traditional content, by creating learning opportunities for students through virtual field trips. @MicrosoftEDU and @SkypeClassroom offer a great resource encouraging students to investigate the global world. #UoNTeach

Trying to find the right book to associate global connections with Asia?? This blog provides great tips and resources to assist in the classroom. #UonTeach

UNESCO(2006) guidelines state students will benefit socially and emotionally, if learning is accessed through intercultural discussion. Opportunities to reflect, contribute and respect their own and other peers cultures, will build connections and understanding. #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

Have you ever thought of integrating #culturaldiversity in the classroom by communicating with a sister school overseas? Bovona (2017) provides a great insight on how the use of #ICT and this type of partnership can benefit your students. #UoNTeach https://t.co/yv2yYX8zth

[TamT @TT3220920]

@Claire_spective What a great resource @Claire_spective It is so important to integrate Community based pedagogy into classroom and form connections with the local community (Sharkey et al., 2016)

[TamT @TT3220920]

Teachers embrace Community Based Pedagogy, as not only does it engage and motivate students, it increases awareness and appreciation of local knowledge through connections (Sharkey et al., 2016). What connections do you have surrounding your local school? #UoNTeach

[TamT @TT3220920]

A wonderful series by @ABCEducationAU providing an insight into the lives of children from all over the globe. What a great resource to promote cultural awareness in the classroom and get students discussing the diverse world in which we live. #UoNTeach

[ABC Education @ABCEducationAU]

Follow the lives of children living around the world in this wonderful #educational series. Whether they speak different #languages or have different #customs, students can discover that some #childhood experiences are universal! https://t.co/mteekYtXJg

[TamT @TT3220920]

Shulsky et al. (2017) suggests layered literacies provides a foundation to creating active and informed citizens, allowing students to critically analyse, understand and resolve difficult global issues? How will you teach and develop the whole child?#UoNTeach #Globaleducation
