@rose_emerton I agree! Community-based pedagogies allow for place-based learning which incorporates more relatable and relevant resources for students.

@Miss_RTurner Also a great way to incorporate a community-based pedagogies!

Port Macquarie Coastal Warriors is a volunteer organisation with an aim to prevent litter ending up in the sea. Reaching out and involving your students in the community makes a unit of work more realistic and relatable. #UoNteach #educ4750 #SDG14

@rose_emerton Yes it's great! If you follow the link, World's Largest Lesson have some other great resources that are linked to the Sustainable Development Goals and would work great in an interactive classroom.
English
@Miss_RTurner What a great interactive ICT resource for the classroom to learn about #SDG14!
English
A very insightful resource for the classroom that looks at ocean pollution, overfishing, and coral damage as a result of rising sea temperatures. What a great way to involve students in learning about #SDG14

@rose_emerton Coastal Warriors is definitely a great community asset to have for our community! Students can explore their own local area through learning about sustainability.
English
@Miss_RTurner What a great community asset! Involving students in this initiative allows students to learn in a context relevant to them.
English
@rose_emerton There's also some other great videos that look at the other #SDGs which I highly recommend!
English
@Miss_RTurner What a great ICT resource for students to understand in the importance of SDG14!
English
@rose_emerton Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check them out!
English
@Miss_RTurner Such a great resource to introduce the Sustainable Development Practices! There is other videos that focus on other goals that I recommend.
English
@Brook_bailey_98 I agree! Play-based learning is a great way for all students to be hands on and learn in an engaging and fun way.
English
@Miss_RTurner That is so COOL! Lego in the classroom linked to sustainability. Very creative. I'm sure both the boys and girls in the classroom would thrive off this sort of activity.
English
Introducing LEGO into our classroom is a great way for students to learn through play-based activities. Use LEGO to design a model that reduces plastic waste in our oceans and works towards a sustainable future. #sdg14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach
The Ocean Cleanup@TheOceanCleanup
To develop large cleanup systems, you sometimes need to step away from the laptop and visualize things differently. Our team used LEGO to simulate System 003 operations and plan logistics for this first full-scale system (1800m span) that we aim to deploy later this year.
English
@rose_emerton Yes of course. Community-based pedagogies support place-based learning and allows for content to be more relevant and relatable for students.
English
@Miss_RTurner The benefits that community-based pedagogies include are worth incorporating. It definitely will impact positively with those results.
English
I just read an interesting article by Sharkey, J. (2016), which highlights the benefits of community-based pedagogies including; student engagement, motivation, family-school involvement and appreciation of local knowledge. #UoNTeach #educ4750

@bayleighEDUC It would definitely be great for students to investigate the reason behind melting ice caps. The Antarctic plays such a massive role in the Earths ecosystems and they're essential in sustaining life on Earth.
English
@Miss_RTurner A super important topic and an interesting one for students to investigate!
English
Ice shelves serve as a natural buffer, protecting Antarctic glaciers from melting. If these don't exist and the glaciers melt, all the new water could drive a rise in sea level for decades. Let's teach our students about what is happening to our plant! #SDG14 #educ4750 #UoNTeach

The Conger Ice Shelf, a mass of ice spanning approximately 460 square miles, has collapsed. You can help Antarctica by signing on to secure the largest act of ocean protection in history! Visit the link to make your voice heard. l8r.it/uTBu #CallonCCAMLR #ActNow
English
@rose_emerton Yes for sure! I think teaching about waste management, water conservation and growing food could become really fun and engaging lessons.
English
@Miss_RTurner Definitely Rebecca! Would you consider to teach any of these?
English
These sustainable consumption and production ideas need to be apart of our learning in all forms of education. They involve real world-problem solving and innovation to address our current climate. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

Get around these #sustainable consumption & production ideas to support #SDG12 in your school ♻️ 📷 WasteEd
English
@rose_emerton National Geographic have lots of great resources to look at when discussing #SDG14!
English
@Miss_RTurner What a great resource to get students to really think about where rubbish ends up.
English
The National Geographic have some great resources to help us educate students about the importance of cleaning up our oceans and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Do you know where your rubbish ends up? #educ4750 #UoNteach #SDG14

@rose_emerton I totally agree! It's so important for our future generations to learn about the sustainability of our planet and what life on Earth will look like for them as an adult.
English
@Miss_RTurner Education in school needs to take responsibility to incorporate this into the curriculum more than ever.
English
We should encourage students to become aware and interested in learning about our planet. Children are our future and they have a right to take informed action in protecting our world. #EDUC4750 #UoNteach #SDGs #SDG14

@bayleighEDUC Thanks for the fact! I also think asking questions like this could be a great way to begin a student-lead research task.
English
@Miss_RTurner 75.8 million tonnes of rubbish end up in landfills!! A great way to start a discussion around recycling
English
@bayleighEDUC I agree, it's great when students are passionate about what they're learning. It's important for students to feel like their education is meaningful and making a difference in their lives.
English
@Miss_RTurner Such an important point! So many students are already passionate about this topic!
English
@rose_emerton Me too! Solving big issues start with small things like picking up rubbish. Everyone can make a difference!
English
@Miss_RTurner Such an important topic and great initiative. I will definitely be taking home rubbish with me every time I visit the beach!
English
#Take3 is a great initiative to get your class involved in learning about #SDG14 and look at practical ways they can take care of our oceans. I challenge you to take 3 pieces of rubbish with you next time you visit the beach. #EDUC4750 #UoNteach

@bayleighEDUC I agree, it makes such a difference to the engagement of learning when students are able to connect their ideas with relatable experiences!
English
@rose_emerton Thanks for your input! What a great idea for a cross-curricular activity.
English
@Miss_RTurner I would apply this in a geography lesson for students to explore the impacts of climate change. Students could come up with solutions to the climate issue.
English
Here's a link to a great visual resource you can use with your students for #SDG14. It's an interactive climate timeline and you can see the ice caps melting and our planet heating over years. How would you use this resource in a lesson?

@bayleighEDUC What a great idea to get students out and about while learning about sustainability. Place-based learning is a great way to engage students in real-world experiences!
English
@rose_emerton A great list that you could hang in the classroom! Personally, I love making my own wrapping paper and taking my reusable bags to do my groceries.
English
Some great ideas for reducing negative patterns of consumption! They can easily be incorporated into schools for students to take responsibility in living sustainably. How many do you already practice? #reallifelearning #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12
English
@bayleighEDUC What a great way to bring a community asset into the school and engage students in interactive learning! A community garden would open up lots of opportunities for learning in different KLA's.
