The network of 5 sites that make up the Multicultural Museums Victoria alliance are a great resource for schools to access within Melbourne CBD. Students can learn about the numerous positive impacts migration has had on Australia. Would be great to see NSW follow suit #UoNTeach

Szelei (et. al, 2019) explains the value of using student voice as a pedagogical tool to craft a deeper understanding of #CulturalDiversity within the classroom. A highly engaging strategy that gifts student's a greater feeling of representation and acceptance #UoNTeach

Through studying #CulturalDiversity, I have looked at a variety of visual literacy examples such as The Rabbits by Shaun Tan. With stunning illustrations and gripping themes, Tan takes a look into Australia's rich cultural history through an engaging and unique lens #UoNTeach

This study of #CulturalDiversity through migration and other aspects of Australian History has led me to flip my project idea to focus on #LocalHistory. This is a late change, however its greater relevance to the children of my chosen school context will be beneficial #UoNTeach

As explored by Payette & Barnes (2017), De Bono's Thinking Hats are a powerful tool for critical thinking. This notion will be implemented throughout my project, particularly when building the field and exploring ideas through group work #UoNTeach

During my preliminary research for my #LocalHistory project, I have discovered and learnt about some amazing resources available to all local residents. The Central Coast library website (centralcoast.nsw.gov.au/libraries/hist…) is a fantastic place for my students to explore and learn #UoNTeach

Wow! You learn something new everyday! A great resource Blaese, this will definitely be integrated into my project. This will be particularly useful for when my students go on their excursion #UoNTeach

As an educator it is important to have a deep understanding of local Aboriginal history to pass on to your students. Did you know the totem of the Darkinjung people native to the Central Coast is a whale? #localhistory #UoNTeach

I'm interested to gauge the knowledge of my fellow pre-service educators in regards to their knowledge of the history of the Central Coast. Would you say you know... #UoNTeach

I personally couldn't agree more Matt. Your comments are insightful and thought provoking and reflect the direction I will be taking with my unit. The power of learning outside of the classroom cannot be overstated #UoNTeach

I think this idea should lie at the heart of any community-based project Jessie-Ellen. Interpersonal learning is always two-way and if this process can benefit both the group of students and their community then that should be seen as a win for all. Lovely thoughts. #UoNTeach

Prior to my study of EDUC4750 I was unfamiliar with Twitter and its mechanics. Over the course of the last 8 weeks, I have come to appreciate it as a useful learning and resource sharing tool that will become a staple of my educational research for years to come #UoNTeach

Having the opportunity to communicate via Twitter with my fellow pre-service teachers has been an invaluable experience. Interacting with like-minded people, all exploring unique topics for their community based project has been inspiring. The future is in good hands #UoNTeach

The platform of Twitter has also helped me shape and mould my ideas by viewing the tweets and thoughts of esteemed Australian historians and history teachers. This has helped guide my lesson content and ensured I am communicating accurate representations to my students #UoNTeach

When reflecting and assessing the effectiveness of Twitter as a tool for student learning in the classroom, I echo the thoughts of Evans (2017). Twitter is an innovative platform that promotes collaboration and creativeness whilst developing digital literacy skills #UoNTeach

Wow, it is amazing to look at how far the Central Coast has come. Too often our #LocalHistory is overlooked and instead explored on a national level. Engaging and relevant resources such as this should be celebrated and embraced by all local educators. #UoNTeach
