@laurengear21 Great poster, will use this in my classroom

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

@rebecca_uon @woolworths Great move by the big companies but not giving the option we can move onto a sustainable way of producing things

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Great to see local businesses encouraging customers to be more environmentally aware. https://t.co/41879cSTuL

[Rebecca Northam @rebecca_uon]

Fantastic to see a local business taking steps to make their store more environmentally friendly and encouraging their customers to do the same! Photo taken in Coco Monde on Darby St, Newcastle. #environment #uonteach #PlanetOrPlastic #reusablecup #byocup #nostraws #banthebag

Great to see that geographical location is not limiting the use of community-based projects and showing how important using the community is no matter where you are in Australia #Communitybasedprojects #UoNTeach https://t.co/XyMwTygovt

[Public Health Advocacy Institute @PHAIWA]

Today we are at Karijini National Park to launch the WA Indigenous Storybook. The Storybook showcases positive community-based projects in rural & remote Aboriginal communities & celebrates those who contribute to social, economic, health & environmental outcomes for their people

A good community-based project in China. Showing the value of involving students in real life problem solving and seeing themselves as part of the solution #Communitybasedprojects #UoNTeach https://t.co/n0Tp2m4UCC

[Wild Beijing 北京自然 @BirdingBeijing]

Local schoolchildren in the Valley of the Cats, Qinghai Province, learn about recycling and collect trash as part of the community-based SNOW LEOPARD conservation project.

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Australian needs to look around the world and see that we need to do more in terms of improving our recycling solution instead of giving it of to the Chinese. #sustainability #waronwaste #UoNTeach https://t.co/uEmYuDG4a0

Fantastic to see different groups in our society working towards protecting our environment. Involving Indigenous groups who have lived on the land and looked after it for a very long time is a great move. #Collaboration #Environment

The UK showing a way to develop teachers knowledge of STEM for the classroom by connecting industries to school. Is this something that should be looked at over here? #UoNTeach https://t.co/UDqEwAg5ZU

[STEM Learning @STEMLearningUK]

"It’s really simple and straight-forward to do." There are already several leading companies and universities that offer #STEMinsight placements, why not join them? #HostSTEMinsight https://t.co/8ia6tkcpcQ https://t.co/buVa1GGlCI

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Wow, crazy amount of plastic waste. It begs the questions is one day focusing on the environment enough. Is this just tokenism? We should be teaching our students to always care for the environment #everydayshouldbeenvironmentday #UoNTeach https://t.co/BnCgqGBElI

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

This is the amount of plastic waste generated annually & how much of it is inadequately managed.
On #WorldEnvironmentDay, join the call to #BeatPlasticPollution for people 🙋🏿‍♀️🧒🏼👧🏻🙋🏽‍♂️ and planet 🌏🌍🌎 https://t.co/2ClMr9xQzk

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Teachers challenging the view of the curriculum being dominated by Maths and English, suggesting there should be a greater a cross-curriculum teaching focus as education is at risk of becoming too segregated.

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

An interesting article explaining the importance of bringing authentic world perspective into the classroom, to show the issues that effect us can effect those across the world as well. Helping our students understand the world better. #UoNTeach https://t.co/u3tgNCi3HJ

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

A good little experiment to do in the classroom with students to explore and create an understanding of pollution in our waterways and give students a first hand experience if they haven't had on. #UoNTeach https://t.co/kivXOFh4QJ

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

An interesting range of art works using the environment, showing a natural connection between artists and the environment which can be awesome to show students, what can be communicate through at. #UoNTeach https://t.co/mMN46ZU9OI

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

A nice blog about why we teach students about the environment and why it should be something we value teaching about. #UoNTeach

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Great example of students getting involved in cleaning our oceans, it can help inspire students in our classrooms as well. #UoNTeach
https://t.co/l42PlT7vxI

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Great example of people trying to solve the issue of rubbish in the oceans.Great thing to explore with students and see if they can create their own ideas of how to clean up our planet.
#UoNTeach https://t.co/euuiPtOqBq

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

It is truly relevant to teach our students how to look after our environment (specifically our oceans) as accidents seem to occur with regularity. We need the skills to clean up or prevent the damage that could occur to our environment. #UoNTeach https://t.co/5F7xL3yXNS

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

A very interesting point, that our University courses are slowly picking up on but still are putting too much significant learning time into lectures. If we are being encouraged to create engaging content for students shouldn't Universities practice what they preach #UoNTeach https://t.co/l5uuvw6bLm

[Tiffany Ott @TechieTeachOtt]

Our students are learning all the time. They're learning through video on YouTube. They're learning through quick bites of information on Twitter and Facebook. The one way they aren't learning? By listening to a lecture for 60 minutes. #TeachBetter

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

Amazing use of technology to help people around the globe. The advancements in technology should be getting mentioned and explore in classrooms, to show the next generation the possibilities with developing technologies #UoNTeach https://t.co/0dD4byHK09

3D printing has been used to mend pipes after the Nepal earthquake, and NGOs believe the technology could radically change the speed and cost of humanitarian aid: https://t.co/2oUUV7uOE9 via @Guardian #SocialGoodTech

[Michael Spitz @michaelspitzko3]

A global conference pushing the importance of sustainability as a global issue, which needs to be tackled globally and overcome recent political backlash of nationalistic movements. This is an issue for the world and our students need to start develop an understanding #UoNTeach https://t.co/3xjWl2u1zB
