@ReciteSocial That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know

@ThinkIncIusion Your tweet was quoted in an article by physorg phys.org/news/2022-07-s…

Australia's Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per day for children aged 5-12 years. What community assets could you use to help your students live physically active lifestyles? #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach

@MissShanRose I am glad you found this information helpful @MissShanRose!

I think this quote is awesome @ThinkIncIusion, I think it hits the nail on the head with realising what we need to be targeting for our students as they are out future!

@MaddyPietras That is great to hear, Maddy! Are there any specific benefits (such as the collaborative aspect of Twitter) that has personally facilitated your professional development on Twitter?

@ThinkIncIusion I have also found Twitter to be a valuable resource for my professional development!

I agree, collaboration is multiplication! In Carpenter & Krutka (2014), the main #PD benefit teachers found from using Twitter was communication. Thanks to my fellow educators on Twitter, I have been able to find a variety of excellent #SDG-focused resources! #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

@Jodie_Mowczko Absolutely! For more information on this unique perspective, here’s a direct link to the article: cambridge.org/core/services/…

@ThinkIncIusion Interesting. I agree to a point, and should read the article if I really want to put my thoughts forward, but my initial thought is that it should be a priority regardless. I don't think good mental health will necessarily solve these issues, but it does help people to cope.

Votruba & Thornicroft (2016) argue that mental health is a priority for global development because it interlinks with other #SDGs that address poverty, universal health coverage, work and economic growth, equity, peace, and justice. Do you agree? #SDG3 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach

@AISNSWWellbeing @BeYouSecondary @BeYouPrimary Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model perfectly encapsulates why it's important to promote good health and well-being in the community. A healthy external environment can lead to a healthy individual! #SDG3

@Hollie_Segalla I really like how this model shows that everyone is aiming towards this common goal! I agree that #foodsecurity is everyone’s business and thanks to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, can say the same for mental health and well-being!

#FoodSecurity. What is it? Whose business is it? Who does it rely on to ensure #zerohunger by 2050? A: Everyone. #FoodSecurity is everyone's business. #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG2 Graph: (Winowiecki et al., 2011)

@Ms_Bambach I love this idea too! The best part about using a check-in station is that it allows students to communicate their feelings in a clear and non-confrontational manner. Thank you very much for sharing @Ms_Bambach!

@SarahPrice720 @bitesizeSDGs No problem Sarah! I’m glad that you find this helpful!

@ThinkIncIusion @bitesizeSDGs This is such a helpful resource, shows what students need to learn and what key information matters. Thanks for sharing!

Global competence is defined in Mansilla & Jackson (2011) as the capacity to understand and act on issues of global significance. With this definition in mind, we can understand why developing global competence is important when targeting the #SDGs. #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

@TeachMrKirton Thanks for sharing @TeachMrKirton! I love how this resource provides activities from Early Childhood Education up to Secondary Education. It shows us that students of all ages can promote the #SDGs!

My first port of call when looking for ideas for classroom activities and potential projects related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Great resource with excellent content. #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG3 en.unesco.org/themes/educati…

@MissWatkins123 Sleeping in is probably number one on my list!

@MaddyPietras Thanks for sharing @MaddyPietras! I’ve read Josh and Christi Straub’s ‘What Am I Feeling?’ before and found it to be an excellent way to help the reader understand their feelings. I will have to check out the other three books you recommended!

Literature can be used across the curriculum. Cross-curricular learning allows students to develop knowledge, understanding and skills through a study of interconnected topics. These engaging children’s books can be used to explore health & wellbeing. #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG3

@MaddyPietras Definitely! Accomodating knowledge from the local community will only expand my pedagogical knowledge, allowing me to grow as a teacher. When I benefit from the local community, the students will benefit too!

A study involving community-based pedagogies found that teachers were surprised at the resources they found in their local community & how easily they aligned with content strands. Will you be taking advantage of local knowledge to support your next topic? #educ4750 #UoNTeach

@MaddyPietras #SDG3 has been an absolutely fantastic hashtag for myself as well! It is awesome to see the variety of relevant resources our fellow educators have shared!

@ThinkIncIusion I have been using these hashtags too, as well as #SDG3. They have allowed me to connect with a range of other educational professionals and share ideas/resources related to my project focus.

Hashtags can be an excellent educational tool for a variety of purposes. The hashtags #EDUC4750 and #UoNTeach give us access to a virtual space where we can share relevant questions, ideas and resources. What are some hashtags that you have used? Have they been helpful for you?

@MaddyPietras @aitsl I agree completely! All of these psychological benefits will lead to better mental health and overall well-being!

@ThinkIncIusion @aitsl I feel comfortable, respected and valued. I believe it also increases self-esteem, self-efficacy, a sense of belonging and motivation - all which promote good health and wellbeing!

Something notable about @aitsl standard 4 is that by creating a safe and supportive learning environment, you are also promoting good health and well-being in your students. How do you feel when you are in a safe and supportive environment? #SDG3 #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

@DanaHolz10 Thanks for sharing @DanaHolz10! On top of it being a great way to map out a unit of work, I have found Bloom’s Taxonomy to be a highly effective tool for differentiation!

@SarahPrice720 I love how this graphic shows the various aspects of project-based learning! Thanks for sharing @SarahPrice720!

Project Based Learning is dynamic pedagogy that promotes deeper learning and engaging lessons for students. Project based learning will be incorporated throughout my unit of work on #SDG14. #SDG14 #UoNTeach #educ4750

@EllenRae19 @MaddyPietras I agree with this and I’d even argue that #SDG1 is a mental health concern as well. More than 80 per cent of people with mental illnesses live in low and middle income countries and roughly 80 per cent of these people receive no mental health treatment (Dybdahl & Lien, 2018).

@MaddyPietras Absolutely! I am focussing on #SDG1 for my unit, while the unit does not have a direct focus on wellbeing, I believe it is essential to support positive mental health, especially when tackling confrontational global issues.

Daily ‘check ins’ are a great way to build emotional awareness & self-regulation strategies. They can provide common language and a compassionate framework to support positive mental health. #educ4750 #SDG3 #UoNTeach How do you check on the emotional wellbeing of your students?
