Eliza Culley@CulleyEliza
I wanted to find a way to encourage my students to feel a passion to help and change what is happening to our beaches! A whole community clean up morning at a local Newcastle beach would be a way to unite together and help! Is this a suitable idea? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG14

I was thinking of getting someone from @Take3fortheSea to come and speak to my classroom about the importance of protecting our life below water!
Do you think that this will be beneficial for my stage 3 class? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG14 #LifeBelowWater

@CulleyEliza @Take3fortheSea Wow thanks @CulleyEliza these are some really engaging activities. Some of these I did not think about using within my project that now I will! This really has opened my eyes to expanding my classroom knowledge around #SDG14

@BoyceMadeleine I am going to be focusing on a range of different aspects:
-@Take3fortheSea spokesperson
-Whole community beach clean up
-ICT resources, such as, iPad apps
-Group collaboration where possible
-End up project goal, e.g. art project made out of recyclable items

Being interested in this topic, I was wondering what some of your points of view about discussing the Life Below Water? What are some things about this topic you will bring awareness within your classroom? I've had a few interesting points to share as well! #SDG14 #educ4750

In my classroom, I have used the Back to Blue website to engage and invite my students into some of the pollution issues within our oceans. This links with the #SD14.This website provides a live action background along with video links that are educational!backtoblueinitiative.com/?utm_source=SE…

@CulleyEliza That a really great idea! I can also have these students really put the test of the products and have them use over a stand of time to determine what product is the best swap for plastic! #SDG14

@BoyceMadeleine Students could have small groups and research one of the 8 ways and present the concept to the class. A great way for students to collaborate together!
