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

@bitesizeSDGs @Uni_Newcastle @SarahPrice720 @Hollie_Segalla @educatewithmeg_ @MrHansen96 @ThinkIncIusion @EllenRae19 @Libertycarrier8 @mrsperkoteaches @AdamRogers2030 Thank YOU! Recognition is key to reaching these goals!

Appreciation tweet to all the student teachers at @Uni_Newcastle who are #TakingActionOnline to engage with & share bite-sized connections made to #SDGs in our global classrooms! Tag @bitesizeSDGs because collaboration is multiplication 💪 #UoNTeach #Innovation #DecadeOfAction

How cute!! Definitely a great idea...

@JaydenGodwin99 @MKnight826 @KHunter2001 I've seen these ones popping up BUT what about making it an activity? Making more age-appropriate video resources about SDG12? Using real-life, even own life, examples of how to achieve SDG12. A lot of prep is involved, but definitely achievable for our older students.

Have you guys found any helpful videos? @MKnight826 @earutherford01 @KHunter2001

This is a great companion resource for teaching responsible production & consumption as it introduces students to the differences between needs & wants to be responsible consumers. What videos have you found for #SDG12 ? #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach youtube.com/watch?v=TPG6E4…

PLACE YOUR VOTES - I DID! It was interesting to see everyone's response... #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

@mgalbraith99 Thank you for the resource, Molly! Simple and straight to the point! I've used De Bono throughout my unit but these summaries below really help you frame your activities around the 6 hats!

De Bono’s Thinking Hats! I love this framework and I can’t wait to implement it throughout my #educ4750 unit! There are so many simple yet effective activities that can done in a classroom that link to #SDG15, 21st Century Learning and the Thinking hats! Who agrees with me?

This is a cute WC activity that has endless lesson opportunities. From recycling to investigating living things! It also is a great opportunity to develop S's responsibility. Definitely something I plan to use! #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

Anne Dolan discusses in their journal article the use of place in learning. Defining place-based learning as being at home, parks, schools and school grounds - a community-based approach. This is an important holistic strategy to involve in your unit planning. #educ4750 #UoNTeach

Teachers could easily integrate this within literacy lesson - focusing on rhyming. Such a gorgeous book!

This AMAZING picture book “breaks down” the composting procedure in an age-appropriate way. I’ve decided to use this in the ‘planning’ stage of my unit, as well many others as a resource! #educ4750 #sdg12

@mgalbraith99 Wow, this says a lot. I agree very powerful. Wouldn’t want to imagine what the next image would look like.

A picture can definitely say 1000 words. This powerful image is a great resource to spark students’ curiosity🤔 Incorporating an imagine into a lesson can effectively be done across all KLAs, especially literacy!📚📸 #educ4750 #SDG15 #UoNTeach

@graceconley121 Agree and relate to these ideas entirely girls! Thanks for inspiring me to highlight this in my unit planning.

'Placed-based curriculum-making: devising a synthesis between primary geography and outdoor learning' by Anne Dolan explores the importance of outdoor learning, promoting interactions with one other and the world. Who else finds they work better outside? Why? #educ4750 #UoNTeach

Did you know that Hunter Water does more than send us bills? Their website provides information and resources to guide us in understanding the best water management. Their community engagement section is definitely worth a look. #educ4750 #sdg12

Using this can help teachers plan for an activity where S create their own ad to gain recognition of #sdg12

I have seen this ReMade campaign advert everywhere over the past few months, its "cut(s) through the clutter" effect immediately turns heads. A great inspiration video for teachers to use when incorporating media arts into lessons. Link and more info below #sdg12 #educ4750

@MissRCoops @KHunter2001 Exactly, I thought when planning you need to change up content and make it engaging however still a meaningful experience!

@KHunter2001 What a great cross-curricular activity! Good links to robotics, visual arts, and SDG12.

Some great tips to introduce the ideas behind #sdg12. Simple ignition resource to start making students think about responsible consumption and production! #educ4750 #UoNTeach

I was just engaging with a post about incorporating research activities in persuasive writing and sustainability with @graceconley121! What a great resource to complete this! Thanks Sam!

@graceconley121 These are such great ideas! You could even go into how your type of persuasive writing is going to be presented like a formal letter or report. You can also make activities that include data analysis, numerical surveys of single use plastic or personal surveys - hearing from S!

Self-regulated learning and independent research increases student engagement and allows one to be part of the learning process. A great way to prepare for persuasive writing, allowing students to establish their own perspective #UoNTeach #educ4750
