@IMEHOorg @baileyM35652415 Resources like this are great to serve as a visual reminder or a conversation starter around self care and mental health among students

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

@baileyM35652415 @AUMentalHealth It’s important to create a safe and positive classroom environment and to ensure student welfare is a top priority!

@baileyM35652415 @PicCollage @googledocs @googleclassroom I have been implementing Canva and Kahoots into my lesson planning and finding them to be really interesting and engaging learning and assessment tools!

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

@baileyM35652415 I found it really interesting using twitter to find new and engaging resources from other educators!

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

A @Seabin_project device costs approx $5000. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a whole school/community fundraising goal to go toward the purchase of a device that reduces plastics in our marine ecosystems #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach #SDG14

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Hyndman (2018) suggests that @Twitter allows teachers to connect to a global network of educators to help solve a wide range of educational problems. It provides an opportunity for professional learning. Would you recommend Twitter to a fellow teacher? #uonTeach #educ4750

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

@PlayCraftLearn create lesson activities that promote creativity, collaboration and problem solving skills in an immersive digital environment! Students create vehicles to eliminate plastics from the ocean! #educ4750 #uonteach #sdg14 https://t.co/y3AeRlb9By

What a great poster from @Take3fortheSea highlighting how easy it is to justify using a plastic straw. But if 8 billion people don’t see anything wrong with it…we have a massive problem. Say no to plastic straws! #sdg14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Sure we know that our ocean is polluted with plastics and other rubbish but have your students ever wondered how the rubbish gets there? @ocgdotorg show us how #educ4750 #UoNTeach #sgd14

[OCG | Saving The Ocean @ocgdotorg]

How does plastic get into our oceans? We break it down.

The @Seabin_project have created an amazing device that tackles the important ecological concern of ocean pollution and marine conservation! #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg14

[World Ocean Day @WorldOceansDay]

#OrgsWeLove: Have you seen this handy-dandy little contraption in a boating marina near you? Founded in 2015, the @Seabin_project’s mission is simple: To live in a world without the need for Seabins. To solve the problem, you need to go to the source.

@biancaljamison You could even get your students to write letters to @amazon with alternatives they could use other than plastic! What a great idea 💡

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

What an amazing initiative to promote recycling in our schools! This would be a great initiative for student environmental groups to implement within their school community! #Recycle #educ4750 #UoNTeach

[Return and Earn @Return_and_Earn]

It's #ThrowbackThursday to last year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Week! Mosman Public School won the Schools category for its outstanding recycling.

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Infographics like this are amazing to have around the classroom and/or school to give students AND staff an engaging visual reminder of ways we can help the ocean! #educ4750 #uonteach #SDG14

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

What a creative use of waste that could end up in our waterways and oceans! These buildings show the ways single-use plastics can be repurposed #UonTeach #educ4750 #sdg14

[4ocean @4ocean]

Check out this school made from ecobricks in El Quetzalito, Guatemala where several of our crew members are from!⁠
⁠
Ecobricks are plastic bottles packed with used single-use plastic to create building bricks.

This school was built by @SDO_gt with over 36,000 ecobricks!

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Thanks for the idea @biancaljamison! Today some stage 2 and 3 students had a go at researching some effective ways to conserve and sustainably use the oceans and marine areas to add to our class paper chain octopus! #UoNteach #educ4750 #sdg14

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

The development of 21st century skills such as #criticalthinking, #creativity & #collaboration in todays students will be essential to discovering new and innovative ways for ocean conservation and sustainability in the future. #educ4750 #uonteach #sdg14

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

@biancaljamison This is such a cool idea! Creative and a great learning opportunity to include #sdg14 issues such as overfishing and water pollution!

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Apps like Canva allow students to develop ICT skills whilst creating amazing artworks that shine a light on important issues such as water pollution. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg14

[Likisha Raffy @likisha_raffy]

STOP LITTERING IN THE SEA
#SDG14
Save Turtles
#CanvaDesignChallenge

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Love this idea! Our students could collect rubbish around our school and local community and repurpose it to create an artwork like these. Wouldn’t they be amazing around our school. #SDG14 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Sam @SamWilkes_]

Wow…500 000 tires sitting at the bottom of our ocean! @4ocean are doing great things to help prevent this from happening. Does anyone have any other ideas on how we could prevent this? #sdg14 #UoNTeach #educ4750

[4ocean @4ocean]

A sea of tires.

While there's been much cleanup progress since the first photo was captured, there's still over 500,000 tires left sitting at the bottom of the ocean. We definitely have a lot of work to do, and as a small team, we need your help!
