@PatrickMayers4 Thanks for sharing Pat! @bags2benches have done some very similar projects within schools in Newcastle
English
What a great idea! Perhaps my class will be doing something similar for their garden beds #SDG12 #Educ4750 #UoNTeach

@LachlanMcCabe4 So True Lachlan! I think it really speaks the language of this generation and allows the students to have fun as well!

@PatrickMayers4 Very interesting Patrick! A game based approach could be a super effective way to increase participation and get the class more engaged! Love your work pal!

What better way to educate young people in #sustainability than utilising technology? More specifically #Minecraft, an educational game already used by millions of young people worldwide? #Educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

All gardens are green, so it makes sense that they should be 'green' in the environmental term, right? #GreenLiving insidethemarket.info/zlk23d

What a great resource @MaxSandstrom8! Such an educational video that is fun for the students to watch and learn! What a great way to start a unit of work! #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG12

Thanks for bringing this to my attention @ImogenSlackSmi1 such a cheap alternative to purchasing compost! Another great idea to add to my community garden project #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG12

Wow! Look at the positive impact that #wormfarming can have. The good bacteria in worm juice helps put nitrogen back into the soil. Worm farms have a small set up cost and then they are basically free to run once set up #SDG12

What a great read! It is so true that every little action can make such a big difference! #Educ4750 #sustainability #SDG12 #UoNTeach

@PatrickMayers4 I’m not your friend but I’ll give it a read..
English
To all my #Educ4750 friends exploring #SDG12 give this article a read! It offers so much insight into the importance of arming young students with knowledge of #sustainability #d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DSgQcrYobYTIJ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&…

@ImogenSlackSmi1 Yes certainly! I know that you can create polls through google classrooms
English
@PatrickMayers4 Yes that’s a great idea! I think the opportunity for students to participate in classroom discussions without the anxiety associated with interacting verbally is really important. It gives all students an equal opportunity to be heard. Do you know of any software we could use?

@Benjami49687352 What an awesome idea! Check out this article researchgate.net/publication/32…
It offers great insight into the influences insects have on many ecosystems and the potential insect research and development has in addressing current global challenges.

@Benjami49687352 That is such a scary statistic! Great to see that Australia has these projects underway and some could be completed as early as this year!

@PatrickMayers4 I feel ashamed for the times I've been too lazy to recycle! Did you know that only 2% of our waste is converted to useable energy? Check out these waste-to-energy facilities that Australia could benefit from!

How does this picture make you feel? For me I feel extremely guilty that I haven’t done more in terms of recycling and green waste. Did you know Australia generated 76 million tonnes of waste in the 2018-19 financial year?

@ImogenSlackSmi1 @bags2benches I’ll have to check them out Imogen what a great idea!
English
@PatrickMayers4 I think it’s so important that as educators we lead by example and show students alternatives for plastic use. Have you heard of the Plastic Police? They help schools limit soft plastic use. They even offer a starter pack which you could implement at your school @bags2benches
