@AlanaRo93529970 #Collaboration is going to be a key skill at the forefront of my integrated unit of work. I will ensure S are becoming global competent citizens by addressing the issue of pollution in our waterways both at a local and global level. #SDG14

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@AlanaRo93529970 I will be using PBL, De Bono's #6Thinkinghats and purposeful teaching through community-based pedagogy. I believe these will be crucial elements in setting up an engaging integrated unit that encourages higher-order thinking and 21st-century skills.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

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

@MaxTownsend_ I agree! The recent flood is a great catalyst to start the conversation. I will be incorporating a beach clean up in the bay right by my school for my integrated unit. Beach cleanups are a fantastic way for S to help with the problem while also seeing the enormity of the issue.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Oliviacowieuon1 What an excellent use of ICT while also showing S the enormity of the pollution problem. This would be a fantastic resource to include in an integrated unit to see both the local and global impacts on our waterways. #SDG14

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@CarneySandoe @NAISnetwork @k12lab I have to agree, #innovation like many of the #21stcenturyskills are not necessarily new to schooling but they are more than important than ever. Creating globally competent S that are curious and interested in the world will in term produce some interesting innovations.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@ConstructPdx @jaden @JUST What a wonderful opportunity for S of all ages to be a part of. The younger generation is our future and it would be very interesting to see #innovative products being designed and created by S. I would love to see innovative ways to reduce plastic waste in our waterways.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@KatriceHubble Exactly! Important issues such as #pollution in our waterways need to be introduced through a PBL or at a whole-school level approach. Without creating global competence within S they won't be able to understand the global significance of the issue. #knowledgeispower

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

Do you remember what triggered you to join the #plasticfreesea movement? A reading? A conversation? An observation? I would love to hear your anecdotes. #SDG14 #saveouroceans #uonteach #Educ4750 #plasticfree

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@SophieK11031398 A very interesting read. I agree #ICT is a fantastic resource to use in the classroom. The technology needs to be used correctly and for a purpose to encourage and aid the skills or information being learnt. It should never take over the actual explicit teaching of the lesson.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@JuliaFliss @Pixton @TakeActionEdu @Ayushchopra24 @JenWilliamsEdu @mrskirabrennan @AbhilashaTochi @MathewBhavna @socialstudiestx @inspirecitizen1 @SDG2030 @rolat So interesting, I haven't heard of @pixton before but I have used @Powtoon & it is a wonderful resource for S to use in the classroom. It develops ICT skills while also making learning fun & engaging. I am looking at incorporating it into an integrated unit on #SDG14.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Ed_Tech_Em These are some wonderful questions to reflect on when teaching. Mansilla & Jackson (2011), suggest that 'Pandora questions' are the most effective as they seem simple but often lead to in-depth discussion, #higherorderthinking & fascinating reflections.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Paige_Gabriel1 I am going to be incorporating PBL, De Bono's #6thinkinghats & purposeful teaching. By incorporating these pedagogies, it creates an #inclusive environment by touching on all of the S strengths. This allows them to control the activities and work towards a meaningful outcome.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@AlanaRo93529970 What a wonderful resource!
On my last placement I Incorporated a ‘calm jar’ for S to self regulate their emotions. The S filled the jar with ideas on way to calm themselves down. S then could go to the jar whenever they felt like the needed to regulate their emotions.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Cait76128957 Yes! Very important especially when developing S awareness about major issues such as #pollution in waterways. This allows S to become globally competent, having the tools to be empathetic & compassionate to certain issues & really delve into the knowledge needed to contribute.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

#Empathy, #compassion & #kindness can be taught & developed right from the early stages of a child’s life. Coulombe & Zuccaro (2021) encourage purposeful teaching of kindness to create a positive classroom culture. This is a #21stcenturyskill that all children need to develop.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Cait76128957 Yes I have to agree. Using visual stimuli is a wonderful way to encourage creativity and even empathy for the issue. Project based learning is a wonderful way to incorporate these lesson into. S will be able to create a links and perspectives on these ideas and issues!

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

Let #chat! What ways are you incorporating the #SDGs in your classroom? #collaboration is a key #21stcentruyskills that can be easily incorporated while teaching #SDGs. What are some others you can think of? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #education

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Taylah38272878 Imagination and creativity are important skills to have in the 21st century. This is a wonderful photo that could really help S start a discussion about the image. This also incorporates skills such as communication.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@RattrayTia Wow! This is such a wonderful thing to see. Creating context for students is a great way to keep students engaged. I will be using a similar concept for my integrated project by bringing awareness to the community via a student exhibition.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@Oliviacowieuon1 I agree! I am surprised this isn't more knowing. I guess communication and awareness are key here. Have a look at @bags2benches they have a fantastic program that offers start packs. It is another great initiative that could easily be incorporated as a whole-school approach.

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

@AlanaRo93529970 I love these suggestions! Collaboration is such an important skill to have. To include this through ICT with @googledocs is a great way to encourage S to advance their technological abilities. Could be a good tool when doing whole-school projects and working across classes?

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

Twitter is a fantastic way to “enhance communication, collaboration and engagement” (Carpenter & Krutka, 2014). Which are key #21stcenturylearning skills. What other applications have you used to enhance and acknowledge these skills in your classroom? #UoNTeach #educ4750

[Miss Zoe Boxsell @ZBoxsell]

Collaboration is a key #21stcenturyskill that should be included in the classroom. My unit plan will incorporate planning, designing & displaying awareness about pollution in the waterways. S will have to use skills like negotiation & conflict resolution to decide on an idea.
