Bit scary that it would take a pandemic and online learning to realise that, “lesson plans we’ve replied on for decades will no longer work for our students” #learningenvironments @AnneKnock @DWS_80

"Most building environments need to be refreshed after about 10 years," says @Gregmiller68. Sounds about right to me. #lea2020vision

The Learnometer - every Victorian home with school-age kids needs one https://t.co/TKkyK2D8ZS #lea2020vision

Definitely putting Lindfield Learning Village https://t.co/OgvyaSe3Lh on my places to visit (once we're out of lockdown, that is) #lea2020vision

Love the idea of a 'loose parts' playground. @Gregmiller68 says they are safer without adult supervision. Must look into this. #lea2020vision

So often we see innovative models of education facilities for kids that are disengaged. Why don't we see this sort of thing for mainstream kids? Is it because they don't need / benefit from it, or is the cost prohibitive to do this for everyone? #lea2020vision

Looking forward to hearing about the Vision for Education - thanks for hosting the webinar Learning Environments Australasia NSW Chapter #LEA2020Vision

@simongerman600 Since when is ‘hundred’ a number?

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Great way to finish the conference - Tim Costello and Brigid Little talking about the super powers needed to address climate change and sustainable futures, the moral challenge for our time @TimCostello @brgdlttl #gtavconf19

The Public Records Office of Victoria’s Map Warper is definitely worth checking out if you are interested in comparing historic and contemporary maps, or if you are really keen, you can help out them by aligning a map https://t.co/C0RYvVVHvk @PRO_Vic #gtavconf19

Looking forward to a workshop on leveraging big data using .id demographic resources https://t.co/Kqiakg7glC @dotid #gtavconf19

Andrew Dodson from Caulfield Grammar imploring teachers to do themselves a favour and take students to South Melbourne Market where they will learn about recycling, water saving, food production, food miles and lots more @caulfieldgs @sthmelbmarket @cityportphillip #gtavconf19

Is it a coincidence that the panel conversation on a climate for food security has been scheduled to take place right before lunch? @OzPIEF #gtavconf19

Deborah Hart, author of Guarding Eden, reminding us of the 5,000 people that formed this human sign in 2009 calling for climate change action. The message was written by an 11yo - she’d be 21yo now. @DeboraheHart #gtavconf19

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Just had a taster of the Big Issue eClassroom workshop which gives students an understanding of homelessness, including hearing first hand from someone who has experienced housing insecurity - I wish it was a compulsory part of the curriculum @BigIssue #gtavconf19

Studying geography might lead to you climbing volcanos all over the world! You can hear about Dr Adele Bear-Crozier’s career on the GTAV’s ‘I am a geographer’ series https://t.co/McLLJ8tCdg… #gtavconf19 @ancrozier #gtavconf19

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Very entertaining presentation from Simon Kuestenmacher - I love a data nerd that can use demographics to tell a clear story. I particularly liked his take on the different generations and how their values will shape Australian attitudes in 2029. @simongerman600 #gtavconf19

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Thank you to Michaela Goggin, student activist from Frankston High School, for your passionate call to action on climate change - we’ve got your back @GogginMichaela @frankstonhigh #gtavconf19

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Whirlwind presentation from Dr James Driscoll unpacking climate change myths - lots and lots and lots of data and evidence to prove that climate change is real and caused by human action and inaction @jim_driscoll #gtavconf19

[Lisel Thomas @liselthomas]

Great ideas from the three Year 5 students from Keysborough Primary School who won the geography inquiry challenge run by their school - if these kids are the urban designers and planners of the future, the profession is in good hands #gtavconf19
