Always nice starting a new degree at a new uni and seeing a familiar face… even if that face is @all_isee on a tv screen! @UTSEngage #CLOAK

How can #CitizenScience be used as a tool for #Education - particularly in terms of #AustralianCurriculum?

"Projects need to be mapped to the Australian curriculum," says @LBDScience's @krscroggie

Workshop C #CitSciOz21

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

Really enjoying @DoctorKarl’s talk at #CitSciOz21 especially because I get to watch along with my mum! @CitSciOZ

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

@JessieLOliver Thanks Jessie - it's great to hear you've experienced these too!

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

@CitSci_Geek Thanks Michelle! 😁

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

Another one of my favourite advantages is "Future in Science." Students get to experience what #Scientists do, as well as experience careers and universities through participation, and was said to increase their interest in science careers! 👩‍🔬

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

By far, learning was the most frequently reported advantage for #student participation by #CitSci project leaders but some of these other hidden advantages are what really make #CitizenScience participation so special + powerful!

[Learning By Doing @LBDScience]

With #learning as a common advantage described from student #CitSci participation, it takes many forms & crosses disciplinary boundaries. #CitizenScience is perceived to increase awareness & excitement of science, develop scientific skills and scientific thinking.

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

Excitement was mentioned as a factor that motivates and engages students because #CitizenScience is a novel method to learn in many classrooms. One project leader even said, "bringing citizen science into the #classroom is really exciting and empowering and engaging."

[Ciara Kenneally🤎 @ciarkenn]

Very excited to be presenting this Wednesday! I'll be sharing my findings from focus groups conducted with #CitizenScience project leaders about their experiences with #schools and #students

At #LearningByDoing, we have two Honours research students and one of them is @ciarkenn and she is looking into #CitizenScience in #education and #SocialMedia. She is also an animal lover!

[Olivia McRae @OliviaFMcRae]

I've been talking to some amazing people for this research, but I'm still looking for a couple more people to participate! If you have any leads or know anyone, please share it around, or contact me at [email protected] 💃

Today we are happy to share some of the #research projects #LearningByDoing has been initiating over the past months, focused on examining the many #learning dimensions of #CitizenScience and engaging with our many stakeholders

[Learning By Doing @LBDScience]

@LBDScience also aims to explore different needs, approaches, & outcomes from incorporating #CitizenScience in schools. Stay tuned to hear updates on our progress 🙂
