@georgiross1995 Great link! Creating strong links to the community allows for greater involvement with learning, providing sponsorship and support throughout students learning experiences #UoNTeach
Terrific example of how the inclusion of a school garden has benefited students learning as well as their personal and home life! The inclusion of hands on learning has been implemented to foster greater student engagement with learning #UoNTeach

@zach_symons Awesome to see how we can tie in different learning areas to promote greater student acquisition of knowledge through the use of #SchoolGarden ! This ties into getting students active and hands-on with their learning #UoNTeach
@BainesTayla Linking learning to within the community provides greater levels of support as there are more parties invested within the learning of students #UoNTeach
@MrReeceabaker Good use of first hand examples to provider greater context for students learning, have you considered putting together examples from local and international sources? #UoNTeach
@DrewLambert_uon Great inclusion of linking the community into student learning, creating valuable links to the environment around students is crucial to promote greater learning opportunities! #UoNTeach
School Garden projects expand learning opportunities through the promotion of 21st century learning skills- "curiosity, flexibility, open-mindedness, informed skepticism, creativity, and critical thinking." #UoNTeach

Basing learning within collaborative and project based learning opportunities provided by projects like the #SchoolGardens provides students with wider reaching links to the content of #LivingSustainably with hands on learning #UoNTeach
Implementing a school based #kitchengarden can be difficult, but when there are so many great initiatives provided like healthy kids, it makes the process easier for educators and students alike #UoNTeach

Great way of tying learning into the local community! I have personally been on some of these trips and recommend making as many queries as possible about Indigenous growing and harvesting of plants and wildlife #UoNTeach https://t.co/dWE6k49QLB
Awabakal Environmental Education Centre has some excellent classroom and field trip based activities! I'd recommend all schools in the #hunter region take the time to go and visit #sustainability#green#Australia#Newcastle#UoNTeach https://t.co/jUm2TiPpnG
Great way to link learning to home, creating strong links for #livingsustainably and #recycling ! The change starts at at home and by educating students we can promote #protectourPlanet#UoNTeach https://t.co/qoIeNGCbHz
I've had a large number of people within the Newcastle region ask me how they can be more #sustainable at home! Great to see people wanting to make change! I often suggest individual research. The #Treehugger is a good place to start. #UoNTeach https://t.co/e5fs0SOn8B
Awesome instructions for developing a compost farm promoting #recycling and #livingsustainably ! Great way to get started with composting and promoting awareness of how our gardens work #UoNTeach https://t.co/iLb3pbZal1
Beginning students understanding how to successfully compost and #recycle food wastage is started with their understanding of how to sort rubbish efficiently in the bins provided by local councils #sustainability#UoNTeach
A really awesome resource that applies learning within the Australian context, promoting #sustainableliving and #recycling ! Great way to utilize Australian resources #UoNTeach https://t.co/BVo2AoCAfz
A great resource to use when teaching students about veggie gardens is the ABC website which has informative videos! Here is the link! https://t.co/wP51N1CF59
Getting kids interested in the garden and getting hands on with their learning can be seen as a hard thing to do, but when you start out by applying parts of their lives like foods they eat and things they already know into it, they are actively participating already!!#UONteach
Getting students involved with gardening and understanding the process involved can be started in younger years through interactive games that promote the correct processes! This game promotes involvement in #gardening and is a great introduction #UoNTeach https://t.co/oVhLm5dQnM
Awesome #Recycling alternative that can be used to promote #sustainableliving !! Teaching students the value of minimizing their footprint and living #plasticfree really ties in well with #SchoolGarden ideas of caring for community! #UoNTeach https://t.co/ov7hPfSncY
@DrewLambert_uon@BrittKoppmanUON Great idea for improving links to learning for students from refugee backgrounds, highlighting their own knowledges within our learning environments #UoNTeach
