@samfile_uon @coolaustralia What a fantastic resource! I found some great activities that relate to Indigenous culture that I will use in my unit plan. Did you also know that the most powerful tool when teaching and learning about Indigenous culture is having Indigenous people present in the classroom?

Although Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures are identified as one of the cross-curriculum priorities in both the @ACARAeduau Australian and @NewsAtNESA NSW curriculum, I wonder in reality how often we as teachers will make it a 'priority' #UoNTeach

Equality & Equity are 1 of the 5 integral and interrelated dimensions of reconciliation in Australia. I believe equality & equity begins with the education of all Australians, bringing us closer to a shared future. @RecAustralia #UoNTeach #NRW2018 https://t.co/fggfMVRhLJ

An inspirational story of a teacher who observed that maths is often used by Indigenous people to make environmental decisions affecting the land. He used this knowledge to create his own way of teaching maths using storytelling and dance #UoNTeach

@Lillith_UON @Lillith_UON isn’t it alarming how much the environment relies on humans and vice-versa! I read a quote recently that sums up the relationship between humans and the environment perfectly "...the health and survival of humans and nature are entwined futures." - Jessica Weir

As this article suggests, despite the Australian landscape vastly differing from deserts and beaches to rainforests, grasslands and alps, the entire continent is managed under similar Indigenous ecological practices no matter the location #CaringForCountry https://t.co/tNvn38f40p
