@nclbrode Where #modification is giving them the opportunity to participate in the SAME activity. #seeducation

@nclbrode I agree! Garden-based education is so important because you're able to integrate aspects of the curriculum into the outdoor learning environment (e.g. literacy and numeracy). Accomodation is vital in ensuring that our SE students are given A chance to participate

@RhiannaMilling1 That is a good point @RhiannaMilling1, I assume COVID-19 has changed a vast of aspects of the schooling environment. Whilst this may be the case, I hope to develop a safe, outdoor program that gives students the opportunity to meet new people, furthermore celebrating diversity.

@CBoulus At my local primary school we had a monthly day where members of the community could come and enjoy our playground and spaces, I think it could be different now bc of covid. Do you think that the pandemic will change the rules of the school and not let people in?

This is why our school programs need to be accommodative! Our outdoor learning environment that we will be creating for our unit of work will be taken into account for our visitors with disabilities. #UoNTeach #educ4750 So much room for inclusion (Cavioni, Grazzani et al, 2017).

@advertisergroup @reach_ld Thank you for re-sharing this @reach_ld, such an important initiative for members of the community. A further #Creative #Arts activity I could do with my students is #mosaic tile some areas of the garden like your #community has.

It will use the funding to create accessible wildlife gardens 🦋 @reach_ld #Newark #Southwell buff.ly/3LOynp8

@BrookingsGlobal So many wonderful ways these students are making waves in the world. Thank you for sharing @BrookingsGlobal, I'll be sure to show my students the changes that they can make as #citizens of the #world.

This International Women’s Day, the Echidna Global Scholars—girls’ education leaders from low- and middle-income countries—share what they are doing to help build a more equitable and sustainable tomorrow. brook.gs/3pOnD1d #IWD2022 #IWD

@Tonims85 A fantastic idea Toni, thank you for sharing this one! Will definitely be getting our seeds from the Newcastle Seed Library for my Unit of Work. #newcastleseedlibrary

A seed library can be a great resource to promote sustainability. People can get seeds for free that are suited to their local climate and then once they have susessfully grown thier plants they can harvest seeds and give back to the community. #SDG11 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach

@HannahTiedeman @KHunter2001 What a brilliant idea @KHunter2001. @HannahTiedeman, you and I both! Thank you for sharing an effective (FREE) design resource for students to enjoy.

@KHunter2001 How amazing! In my #educ4750 i am incorporating a vegetable garden! This would be perfect resource for students to plan and design their vegetables gardens on! I will definitely be utilising this in my project! Thank you for sharing this!

@miss_BCarter What a great visual image explaining TPACK! I aim to incoporate TPACK into my own lesson plans to ensure students are gaining the access to the best resources and ICT possible!

@MissNelson98 @kab_nsw This is fantastic and will help with lots of aspects of SDG11 too, I'll be sure to incorporate this into my unit of work (urban inclusive sustainable garden)

There are some incredible workshops @kab_nsw where schools work with the local community to become #EnviroMentors. They support #sdg12 through hands on learning activities such as worm farming, school waste audits & a schoolyard harvest #UoNTeach #educ4750 kabnsw.org.au/enviromentors/

@MissNelson98 @chelsharrisonn Such an awesome idea! The money can go towards such fantastic and sustainable projects in the school.

This is a great opportunity for the school community to reduce litter & encourage recycling, while raising funds for school/community projects that promote #sdg12 such as worm farms, edible gardens & compost bins. Thanks for sharing @chelsharrisonn! #UoNTeach #educ4750

@CharltonLee2069 @NathanA49263875 Wow, there's so much waste! What an awesome creation.

What an amazing way to clean up our waterways from plastics! This technology needs be more mainstream, as it protects our sea life and runs entirely off solar energy which is harmless to our environment! Check this out! @NathanA49263875 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

@CharltonLee2069 @SamuelGannon7 Wow, what a brilliant idea! What kind of #materials would you suggest your students to for an activity like this?

How cool is this dragonfly made from recycled utensils! The creativity of some people is amazing. My students would love these creatures! I wonder what wildlife I could create with my utensils at home. Would you try make one of these? @SamuelGannon7 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

@ruth_tomason That's not a bad idea Ruth, thanks for that! I aim to use some kind of design website to incorporate 21st Century Learning aspects into the Unit of Work. Definitely a fantastic idea doing an activity like this for kinaesthetic learners though - you're right!

@CBoulus If you haven't already planned your unit of work, I strongly recommend using found objects to make sustainable mini cities. This encourages students to think about using found objects at home nad to develop a hands-on, kinaesthetic approach to the SDG

@ruth_tomason Yes it is a brilliant book. How did your students respond to the storyline? We are focusing on SDG11 and the power of inclusivity in community.

@CBoulus I've looked at this book with my own class but I got it as a recording on Youtube. A powerful and true storyline about social justice and community power.

@Tonims85, here are some very interesting facts about urban green areas and the mental effects it can have on students in middle-school!

Urban gardening has been suggested to significantly improve students' lives and academics. It is even more important when they are contributing their grown vegetables to the wider community, maybe even those who need it most. populationeducation.org/benefits-build… #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

@RhiannaMilling1 @nosocials That is exactly what I was going to use this #photo for, a whole-group collaborative task. After analysing the image, we were going to mind-map ways that we could make this city more #sustainable and #inclusive. And yes, a brilliant day @nosocials!

@CBoulus @nosocials What a good approach to an orientation visual literacy task. Did you take this photo yourself?

What a city we live in. A 'what can you see' task is a fantastic way to get students talking about urbanisation and what we can do to be more inclusive and sustainable. #UoNTeach #educ4075 Snapped by @nosocials when we were flying our drone this morning!

@Tonims85 Absolutely, this is a wonderful way to integrate the traditional people of the land and into the schooling environment. Are you inviting the Awabakal Land Council into your unit of work?

aecg.nsw.edu.au/product/aborig… It is so important to include Indigenous perspectives and knowledge in all areas of our curriculum. We can ensure we are getting genuine resources by utilising our local aecg. This is an example of one of their great resources. #SDG11 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach

@Tonims85 A brilliant resource, thanks Toni. This visual text will assist my SE students in the planning of our urban food garden!

Trees, leaves, flowers & seeds : a visual encyclopedia of the plant kingdom is a great resource to have avalible for students to read up and immerse themselves in the world of nature. #SDG11 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

@Tonims85 No worries Toni! So glad this resource could assist you! Were you focusing on an SDG goal of your own? If so, what are your targets?

@CBoulus What a great resource!. Thsnk you for sharing this. there are so many great resources out there and this has really helped to find some.

The Sustainable Schools NSW website is a great resource for anyone interested in sustainability! Whether you’re a teacher, student or parent sustainableschoolsnsw.org.au #educ4750 #UoNTeach

@CaitlinShoulder What SDG target are you focusing on this semester?

@CaitlinShoulder I agree! Thanks Caitlin, I hope this helps you on you Twitter journey for your unit of work!
