@KatFromOz Students love using Minecraft socially, so using it in a way that promotes learning and collaboration is an authentic use of ICT. Team building and collaboration are key 21st Century Skills so it's important that the we promote them when looking at various global issues.

Katherine Daley@KatFromOz·7 Nis

@MissE_Educ I think I would like to use it as a team building activity, all working together to support each other, doing something they love!

This Minecraft event would allow students to explore sustainability in a fun and engaging way! I will use Minecraft within my unit to help students to plan their community garden and sustainable food packaging. How could you use Minecraft in your unit? #educ4750 #UoNTeach #STEM

@Hugh10297614 This would be a brilliant use of ICT and Minecraft Hugh. It's important that students first consider their immediate school community before extending their ideas to the wider local community because this can allow students to identify their place within a wider global context.

English

Hugh@Hugh10297614·8 Nis

Thanks for sharing @MissE_Educ this is a fantastic ICT resource. My students will be exploring sustainable food choices. Participating in a virtual MC community will allow students to consider how they can be involved in their own community. #uonteach #educ4750 #SDG12

@Benjami49687352 @NGKids It's interesting to see that the one resource supports two totally different pedagogies that support community action, your games-based approach and my inquiry-based approach. I wonder if it also supports different stage levels? I am focusing on Stage 3, what stage are you doing?

English

Veryben@Veryyben·9 Nis

@MissE_Educ @NGKids Thank you for sharing this resource! I found the 'Recycle Roundup' interactive game a strong example of #gamebasedlearning that emphasises the importance of community action!

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·6 Nis

@NGKids is a great resource for students conducting research on climate change & plastic pollution, providing students with information written for them. Are there any tabs in the link below that you could use with your students? #educ4750 #SDG12 #SDG13 kids.nationalgeographic.com/science/

@NicoleD58337587 It's important that all levels of Boom's Taxonomy are used within units because it allows students to develop a deep understanding of content. I will use the element of 'creating' as the basis of my summative assessment so students can show their deep understanding.

English

Nicole Davis@NicoleD58337587·9 Nis

Another excellent way to differentiate learning in the classroom. I will incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy to support students to reach a higher level of thinking of #SDG3. This will also support students in self-directed learning. What levels will you focus on in your UOW? #educ4750

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ

During my unit of work, I will address all elements of Blooms taxonomy to allow students to develop a deep understanding of what they are learning. For the summative assessment I will focus on the area of 'create'. What pedagogies will you use in your unit? #educ4750 #Blooms

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·9 Nis

@JuliaBe64274003 @aiden_dennis @Megan48699918 I'm implementing the general capability of 'critical and creative thinking' in my unit and as you said it can be hard to understand what that may look like. I love how the link provides different resources like posters and activities that can be used to meet students needs.

English

JuliaBee@JuliaBe64274003·9 Nis

@MissE_Educ @aiden_dennis @Megan48699918 Great find! It can be so easy to throw around buzz words such as 'critical thinking' but these resources actually display how they can be embodied authentically in the classroom. Thanks, Jessica!

“Blooms taxonomy works ideally as an assessment design tool. If students can consistently work with the topic in the columns–designing, recommending, differentiating, comparing and contrasting- then they likely have a firm grasp on the material.” bit.ly/2Bvt0I0

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Miss_Jess_H @GreentreeSky @Miss_Jess_H you could integrate ICT into this by using the @litterati app. It allows you to photograph, tag and categorise rubbish that you find in the local area. This would allow students to track their habits and how the community is going with reducing rubbish.

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·8 Nis

@GreentreeSky In my classroom, I encourage students to collect 3 pieces of rubbish on their way to/from school and in the playground. Similar to #take3forthesea. Every piece of rubbish counts. In reality, we need to think of ways to reduce waste before it becomes mindless trash. @MissE_Educ

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·24 Mar

This is also a great resource for teaching about #SDG12. Students can benefit from understanding how #recycling products and packaging goes hand-in-hand with consumption and production. What are some classroom activities we could use to encourage students to recycle? #uonteach

Brittany Hunt@BrittHunt

We talk a lot about recycling but do we talk enough about reusing? This video powerfully states the facts and truths about recycling which could prompt an insightful classroom discussion. What products do you use that are reusable? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG14

@Miss_Jess_H Small changes can make the biggest difference! This website is great because it outlines simple ways that students can make a difference. A weekly habit I would encourage is meal planning, it would involve the whole family, and students could educate them on the topic.

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ It is great that we have a day on the calendar for this, but what can we do to encourage this positive change daily? I encourage my students to collect 3 pieces of rubbish on their way to/from school each day or in the playground, similar to the #take3forthesea approach.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·6 Nis

Clean Up Australia is more than just Clean Up Australia Day, they have a range of information and resources linked to various waste issues like food and plastic waste. Have a look at the link below to see what you can find! #educ4750 #SDG12 #UoNTeach cleanup.org.au/the-issues

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Miss_Jess_H @Megan48699918 Another resource you might want to look at @Miss_Jess_H and @Megan48699918 is the Junior Landcare Learning Centre. They outline how to plan a garden that includes plants that will be the most beneficial to the local environment. Here's the link juniorlandcare.org.au/learningcentre/

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·8 Nis

@Megan48699918 @MissE_Educ shared a great resource for gardening. gardenate.com is great for directing the best times to complete particular steps in the gardening process of a range of plants & vegetables, the best part, it is linked to our local climate. @Megan48699918 check it out.

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·23 Mar

It would be great to get a #juniorlandcaregrant to help establish a community garden that could be planted using the #woolworthsdiscoverygarden pots donated by the community. Teaching students the importance of #community involvement and #collaboration. #SDG12 #UoNTeach

Sky Greentree@GreentreeSky

Thinking of creating a community garden to help bring sustainability into your classroom? Did you know Junior @LandcareAust grants are available to assist in funding & support for your project? Click the link for more info. #UoNTeach #SDG12 #Educ4750 juniorlandcare.org.au/grants/

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Miss_Jess_H @Megan48699918 Gardenate is great for students planning a garden, and because it's ICT they will likely be more engaged in the activity than if a paper planner was used.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Miss_Jess_H @sarah_aggett @GreentreeSky @MissJoyTweets I'm combining those 2 ideas in my unit Jess! During my school's fete I will run a stall where the local community can get a reusable wax wrap or a cloth shopping bag that was made by the students so they can start making more sustainable choices in their life.

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·8 Nis

@sarah_aggett A great whole school approach to encourage the use of reusable cutlery/cups vs single-use could be that the canteen or food stall at carnivals offer discounts to those who are being sustainable by using their own cutlery/cups. @GreentreeSky @MissE_Educ @MissJoyTweets

English

Sarah Aggett@sarah_aggett·22 Mar

This is a great idea @Miss_Jess_H ! It can also be used to help reduce plastic waste in focus of #SDG14 as well! Another idea for reducing plastic could be to use re-usable cups instead of getting take away ones. What are some other ways you can think of? #Educ4750 #Uonteach

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H

This is a great visual for everyone. We can also reduce plastic use by using Tupperware containers even #beeswaxwraps instead of zip lock bags. Even just simply switching to fruit and vegetable snacks for #school replacing the use of packaging. #SDG12 #EDUC4750 #uonteach

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Miss_Jess_H @Thomson_Teaches @LandcareAust @MissJoyTweets Another approach that you may want to look into is propagating vegetables to grow a new crop, which focuses on reusing. A community organisation, local expert, or Aboriginal representative could be included in the propagation approach to educate students on sustainable gardening.

English

Jessica Hancock@Miss_Jess_H·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ @Thomson_Teaches @LandcareAust Thanks @MissE_Educ The Gardenate website is a perfect link to my unit as I will be planting the Woolworths discovery garden pots, a lot of these plants are covered. The guide provided covers all aspects of the plants' life cycle. @MissJoyTweets these websites may be helpful.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·3 Nis

This is a brilliant resource to explain to students about seasonal produce for school gardens, the only downfall is it's not aligned with Australia's seasons! Has anyone found a similar chart for Australia's seasons? #educ4750 #UONTeach #schoolgarden #sustainability #teaching

Self Sufficient Schools@VegSchoolMeals

It's finally finished! The Self-Sufficient Schools @VegSchoolMeals A2 Vegetable Planner. I'll be adding a printable version to the vegschoolmeals.co.uk website. #VegSchoolMeals @TheSchoolSeedB1

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@aiden_dennis Deep understanding would be a great one to link to Bloom's! The higher stage of creating is a brilliant way for students to present that they do have a deep understanding of a topic by creating something using what they have learnt as the foundation.

English

Aiden Dennis@aiden_dennis·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ I would like high expectations and deep understanding to blooms.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@ImogenSlackSmi1 I'm glad that you found this helpful Imogen! It's important that we address sustainability throughout different KLA's because students have different interests and abilities and they should be given the opportunity to explore this issue in various ways.

English

Imogen Slack-Smith@ImogenSlackSmi1·8 Nis

Thanks for sharing Jessica. I found this really helpful when exploring sustainability across the curriculum. If you havent already you should check out this article too. I think its really important lead by example when exploring sustainability. #UoNTeach" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bit.ly/39RiVYF#UoNTea… #Educ4750

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ

This article from @TeachStarter's blog outlines 15 ideas for teaching sustainability that can link to #SDG12, #SDG13 & #SDG14, and they can be used across a range of KLA's. What resources do you recommend for finding new teaching ideas? #educ4750 #UoNTeach teachstarter.com/au/blog/15-sus…

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@aiden_dennis I didn't think to incorporate the Quality Teaching Framework Aiden, thank you pointing out that link! Are there any areas of the QTF in particular that you will link to Bloom's Taxonomy?

English

Aiden Dennis@aiden_dennis·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ Blooms is such a good pedagogy for teachers to use. I'm using elements of Blooms Taxonomy to help me incorporate the TPACK model and Quality Teaching model.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@JuliaBe64274003 It's also a great differentiation tool to use for students, so we can tailor tasks to extend or consolidate their learning.

English

JuliaBee@JuliaBe64274003·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ Yes, so true! Sometimes we can integrate it without knowing but at other times we need to explicitly apply it to our units. It is truly a great lens to look at our planning and teaching critically.

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@JuliaBe64274003 We tend to forget about Bloom's Taxonomy during planning, but the elements of applying and creating lend themselves perfectly to inquiry and problem-based learning, where student are able to apply what they know to real-work contexts and try to solve real-world problems.

English

JuliaBee@JuliaBe64274003·8 Nis

@MissE_Educ I also love Bloom's Taxonomy and will incorporate his work into my unit. I think it really lends itself well to real-world issues with a focus on problem-solving and creativity. Thanks for the reminder!

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@Megan48699918 This is such an interesting approach Megan! I'm doing SDG12 so I'll be looking at how sustainability and plastic waste is portrayed in different elements of the media, specifically how facts are portrayed and how waste can be reduced through a critical literacy lens.

English

Megan@Megan48699918·7 Nis

Media Smart 👍📱 This program aims to target media internalisation by showing students how technology manipulates media images. The program teaches kids how to cope with the pressures of media messages. How would you target social media in the classroom? flinders.edu.au/engage/communi…

English

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·8 Nis

@JuliaBe64274003 I will be looking at 'The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle: A Story about Recycling' by Alison Inches, looking at how plastic production is having an impact on the environment. It's a great book and provides lots of key information!

English

JuliaBee@JuliaBe64274003·3 Nis

What an excellent book to teach children about #biodiversity! Even though humans represent just one leaf on this ‘Tree of Life’, we have a huge impact on the wellbeing of all other species. Let’s act responsibly!#UoNTeach #educ4750

Jessica Ellen@MissE_Educ·7 Nis

@GreentreeSky @CordaJesse @Miss_Jess_H @JuliaBe64274003 @NoahJWynne My school has a dedicated Aboriginal Education teacher so I would consult with them as to how I could integrate Indigenous Perspectives into my lessons, specifically my outdoor ones. I would also use resources from the Junior Landcare Learning Centre to see what they recommend.

English

Sky Greentree@GreentreeSky·7 Nis

How would you embed Indigenous Perspective when teaching about #sustainability? @CordaJesse @Miss_Jess_H @MissE_Educ @JuliaBe64274003 @NoahJWynne

English

Sky Greentree@GreentreeSky·7 Nis

How do we get students involved in #climatechange? We need to focus on deepening students’ understanding of our physical/social world, give them the chance to get involved in community & value Indigenous knowledge as a way of learning to live more #sustainably. #UoNTeach
