@preston_remy @Bee76Rach I can just hear this photo. What a wonderful resource for these students to experience. I wonder how many students went home and asked for a veggie garden? #awesome
@preston_remy What an amazing resource to have in the classroom. You could invite people from the community from all kinds of cultural backgrounds, creating a rich environment for all students to learn something new and possibly spark interest to visit these cultures as they get older.
@preston_remy What a fantastic idea, I would love to see more schools take on a school garden. What a brilliant opportunity for students to experience hands on learning.
Seems like a fantastic #app that I am keen to use in the future. It will be interesting seeing this app grow, and I wonder if they have options for input. I am sure many educators have many fantastic deas to help this app grow, and be utilised more in the classroom. #UoNTeach
A great app which can be integrated across KLA's- equip your #student's with the skills to become a #culturallyaware member of society! Options for free and paid download, this #app will open minds to #CulturalDiversity

Researching #culturaldiversity, I found this fantastic link with a list of 50 culturally diverse books for children. As I begin to plan my project and design a unit of work to use in the future, these books will be particularly useful for me. #UoNTeach

Using #Twitter as a professional learning tool has provided me a place to cognitively connect with peers (Culberhouse, 2019). This connection has directed my unit towards an emphasis on #culturaldiversity in the lead up to #HarmonyDay, incorporating service learning. #UoNTeach
Ford, Stuart & Vakil (2014) explain the disconnectedness in #culturallydiverse learning as educators have not experienced communities of the multicultural students they teach. Using #21stcenturylearning, communicating with and learning from these communities is vital. #UoNTeach
Educators are encouraged to infuse international content into their pedagogy to create a valuable experience for students from various cultural backgrounds (Diaconu, 2018). Creating awareness can spark knowledge and develop cross-cultural skills and achieve competence #UoNTeach
#HarmonyDay is a significant day of celebration in Australian primary schools. Educators should embed values from Harmony day in their everyday pedagogy, creating an inclusive environment all students with various cultural backgrounds. #UoNTeach
In this article, Anderson & Boyle (2015) stress the importance of 'unsettling' default modes of operation in education and replace them with new resolutions on what is to be taught and valued in schools. Educator steps towards #culturaldiversity#UonTeach

Continuing my research using #twitter, I have learnt to value the ability to reflect on my learning and communicating with my peers (Lemon, 2019). Professional education can come in many forms, but with #twitter it is nonstop at my fingertips. #UoNTeach
Inclusive education is a term that embraces the delivery of a high-quality education to students from all cultural backgrounds (Anderson & Boyle, 2015). Through research, I have learnt that the aim of inclusive education is to value and understand difference. #UoNTeach
@MelissaWastell Fantastic resource @MelissaWastell. As service learning was particularly engaging for me throughout my education, I aim to implement it throughout my #culturaldiversity unit. It is an all inclusive way for students to reach goals and value new educational environments #UoNTeach
It is important that educators be reminded of the significance effect #inclusion can have in the classroom. Thanks @andyklijn for this simple yet important reminder to continue a focus on ways to achieve #inclusion and create a better environment for all students. #UoNTeach
I believe a big part of celebrating #CulturalDiversity in the classroom is the prominence of #Inclusion. What do my pre-service teachers and educator followers think? #UoNTeach
Studies revel that videoconferencing technology effectively delivers language programs in areas with a lack of specialist teachers. Utilizing technlogy such as #skype in the classroom can develop educational and social skills through communication (Slaughter, 2019). #UonTeach
As my #twitterfingers are nonstop today, I have taken time to reflect on how lucky I am to have the opportunity to communicate with and learn from my fellow pre-service teachers. The knowledge and resources that have been shared make me proud to be a future teacher. #UoNTeach
Having trouble coming up with ideas for your unit of work? As I discover my focus, I am certain that I want to include #facetoface communication. Luckily in the 21st Century, I can utilise ICT. Inviting Aboriginal elders and Skype calls overseas are useful ideas #UoNTeach
Feeling unsure about Harmony Day? Do you want have a more thorough understanding of its importance? Check out this #YouTube clip on #HarmonyDay to help spark ideas for what you can do as an educator on Harmony Day. #UoNTeach https://t.co/6yIj0pZrFa
Your first time is alway scary. Approaching this assessment, I was hesitant to use Twitter as a professional tool as I hadn't before. With my research continuing, I am glad I have taken this step and can honestly say I wish I used it earlier. Bye #google, hello #twitter#UoNTeach
