@sarahritchie98 I 100% agree with you @sarahritchie98. After I did some background research on OzHarvest even I started to recognise the positive impacts that I could do to contribute.

@RobdogRodDog96 OzHarvest are so beneficial to local communities. Not only do they help families in need, they also encourage others to do their best to help!
English
OzHarvest is a community based organisation that inspires kids to understand the importance of healthy eating, sustainability and to be change-makers in their local community. I would recommend the FEAST program to any school. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

@MissNelson98 For my unit I will also be focusing on waste management & composting as I feel it’s an important think for children to be educated in as well as being achievable.

@RobdogRodDog96 Love this! For my unit I will be focusing on waste management and composting. What will yours focus on?
English
Some great ideas to help our future generations understand the importance of sustainability. As future teachers we must show them why it’s important not to waste valuable resources and how it impacts our way of everyday living. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12

@MissNelson98 Thanks for your input @MissNelson98. I never thought of that as like I said I’m more of a Gardner’s MI fan but I do see the benefits of using De Bono’s thinking hats for a lesson like that.
English
@RobdogRodDog96 This is great! Using De Bono’s Thinking Hats, you could form the students into groups with different hats to discuss a range of perspectives in Australia’s food production, in relation to SDG 12.

@MissNelson98 @rose_emerton Yes that’s right @MissNelson98. Minecraft is a very underrated ICT tool & I believe it’s most likely because of the lack of training in this area.
English
@RobdogRodDog96 @rose_emerton This looks like so much fun! This could be a great way to get the students thinking about sustainability by having them create something on their farm that links to sustainability each time they play.
English
I have had experience teaching a similar lesson using Minecraft to make sustainable farms. The kids loved it as they got to design their own farms. Could not stress enough how good this ICT resource is. Thanks for Sharing @rose_emerton #SDG12 #UoNTeach #educ4750

What a great way to incorporate an interactive and engaging resource. An ICT resource that allows students to create and design their own vegetable garden. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12 Minecraft - How to make a Garden youtu.be/1gShAjredYs via @YouTube
English
@MissNelson98 Yeah that is a great idea. We could also use the money to expand and build more garden beds.
English
@RobdogRodDog96 This is a great idea! You could then use the money made for future projects related to the #sdgs
English
Return and Earn is a great way to reduce waste. I wonder if we can start having recycling bins located around our playgrounds so that schools can do this and then use the money to help the school with new equipment/essentials. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

@MissNelson98 @ReduceWasteNow_ @MissNelson98 I did not know this! Isn’t there a lot of good life hacks out there to help preserve our foods and reduce the waste.
English
@RobdogRodDog96 @ReduceWasteNow_ Wow, I never knew this! Did you know that if you wash strawberries in a water/vinegar solution, dry them, then store them in a mason jar in the fridge, they can last up to 3 weeks!
English
If you love avocados as much as me then you probably know the pain of leaving one half in the fridge for too long! Here is a simple and effective tip from @ReduceWasteNow_ to reduce the waste of our precious avocados. 🥑🥑🥑 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12
ReduceWasteNow@ReduceWasteNow_
1) Place half an onion at the bottom of a reusable container, cut side down. 2) Place the halved avocado skin side touching the onion, as seen in the picture 3) This prevents the halved avocado from turning brown for 5 days up to a whole week! #ReduceWasteNow

This is a good way of making students and their families aware of waste caused by over-packaging in popular school foods. We could even introduce a PBL where the kids get rewards for bringing waste-free food for lunch. Thanks for sharing @bayleighEDUC #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12
bayleigh@bayleighEDUC
The waste-Free lunch challenge is a great way for students to be more aware of over-packaging in food! Schools could hold a waste fee lunch to reduce litter and unnecessary packaging and encourage healthy eating! #SDG12 #SDG3 #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

For all you critical and creative thinkers out there have a look at this learning continuum. I love using critical and creative thinking skills and this doc really breaks down how to teach it. Thanks for sharing @MrHansen96 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG12
Ryan Hansen@MrHansen96
Looking to integrate #criticalandcreativethinking as a #generalcapability? Check out this doc from @ACARAeduau (australiancurriculum.edu.au/media/1072/gen…)! It breaks down the skills that students can display - I'll be looking at Level 3 skills in my unit on #SDG15. #UoNTeach #educ4750

@MrHansen96 @ACARAeduau Wow this is fantastic @MrHansen96. I love teaching critical and creative thinking & I will definitely be using this in my unit as well but I’ll be using level 4. Thanks for sharing.

What a simple but great way to demonstrate to others how to reduce waste. This shows how easy it can be and if you can do at least 1 of these practices a day then you’re already helping reduce waste. Thanks for sharing @earutherford01 #UoNTeach #educ4750 #sdg12

I’m tweeting “♻️REDUCE WASTE!♻️” because yes, it’s important but I needed to give examples of how to do so! They need pictures not just words - so here are some simple everyday practices we can change to help reduce waste. #educ4750 #sdg12 #UoNTeach

Too good not to share with my fellow teachers! If you get stuck and need some ideas for lesson plans make sure you checkout this website as it has great and up to date lessons and resources. Thanks for sharing @HayleyMaree___.

@HayleyMaree___ Thanks for sharing @HayleyMaree___. Had a quick look and it does contain some good lessons & resources that I could use for my next assignment.
