Imagine students to connect with other students on the other side of the world and allowing them collaborate in a sustainability project. With application's such as zoom this is possible. https://t.co/PdQ13U3XxA

Hew and Cheung (2013) discuss the importance of Twitter in an educational setting. They suggest that it enhances classroom discussions, provides academic support and gives an entry point for shy students to ask questions (Hew, K.F & Cheung, W.S (2013). #21stcenturylearning 🍎📱
Providing students with a tool kit of twenty first century skills is essential. I believe the aspect of communication & collaboration is key when faced with the notion of sustainability. Communication is not just the output of information but also the input.

The picture book "The Mess That We Made" by Michelle Lord and Julia Blattman highlights a number of environmental issues that are relevant to students and that they are able to connect with. Does anyone know any other books that focus on environmental issues?

Getting students to advocate for change will be a focal point in my community based, integrated unit of work. In combination with speeches, visual displays such as Poster Castles will be established in the community. How else would you promote sustainability? #EDUC4750#UoNTeach
Create a lesson that allows students to plan their own lunch boxes for a week.
Now let students purchase the food needed using a coles fruit and veg catalogue.
Question students, from their purchase will there be any food wastage.

Definitely, a must download! Apps are a fantastic way to delve deeply into specific content. This app allows you to be a part of the #SDG community and learn how to achieve or work towards the goals. Have you downloaded it? How do you use it? #UoNTeach

Sad statistics from #ozharvest https://t.co/7pXqj0KWiR
"We waste 7.3 million tonnes of food each year, enough to fill 13,000 Olympic sized swimming pools"
"The top five most wasted foods in Australia are vegetables, bread, fruit, bagged salad, and leftovers."

I will be including Dewy's theory of Project-Based Learning in my unit. PBL is a flexible, pedagogic framework that promotes deeper learning, greater engagement and higher quality work.

Fellow educators,
What have been some of your best experiences when teaching the notion of sustainability?
How did these notions come about?
or do you have any tips for when teaching students about sustainable living?
#UoNTeach#EDUC4750
Don't Forget that all students come from a different background and have a different story. It is extremely important that we cater for the different emotional responses that we will get from our students when educating them about sustainability. #UoNTeach#EDUC4750
