A1: It depends on how socially distant you have to be, for us right now we have to "stay at home". So for Grade 1 we have the world as our zoo. We look out the window or door and draw the environment we see. We look closely for connections and interconnections. #EnviroEd

a2: It's like the absence makes the heart go fonder. My imaginative hope is that people here like being outside more. There is this fear of the heat and the sun here, like people don't know where we are. I hope that we can embrace where we are and enjoy being outside #enviroed

A3: Videos, blogs, youtube and sharing stories. The more we share what we love, hopefully the more people will join into that love #enviroed

A4: I like the whole idea of slowing down, watching and thinking from a systems perspective. We often think what we are doing is important, but if we look what the world is doing just by being, we get a "healthier" perspective Seeing things differently can be relieving #enviroed

A5: Just to show how connected and interwoven everything is. All of our actions have positive and negative consequences and it doesn't take too long for things to go back for the way the system intends #EnviroEd

#enviroed thanks everyone, get catching up with you all

#enviroed hey team, not sure how long I can be present, in class, but Joe from Singapore. I am I guess a place based education coordinator, not sure how to define my role.

A1: #Enviroed our government here is talking more about the benefits of being outside. We can work from here to get our kids out more. Already our recess and unstructured time are longer, now we can focus on slowing down & building relationships with the more than human world.

A2: most of my practice had me going to public places, at the moment we aren't allowed out anymore, this has me rethinking what opportunities exist. So the idea of being alone or "socially distant with people" is pretty interesting. #enviroed

A3: Greenwood's "The best of both worlds: A critical pedagogy of place" has really helped me wrap my head around this concept, like social construction helps define a place so we have to work at decolonizing places to bring love back in. #enviroed

#enviroed thanks team, got me thinking, glad I had a chance to spot in, I miss these discussions.

A1: learning about what the place means to them? How do we acknowledge other cultures, especially migrant ones? #enviroed

a4: I read this article about who has access to nature, and how it is systemically reinforced through privilege. I suppose creating equal access and equitable access could be antiracist? #enviroed

a3: Greenwood talks a lot about this I think, when he talks about critical sense of place, he tries to get us to address the colonising aspects and share those stories. #enviroed

a5: by putting other stories first? By dismantling the stories we share about place and work from other cultures or diverse cultures narratives? #enviroed

a6: teaching in an international school is always a different experience, yesterday we were looking at artifacts and looking at how our biases shape our perspectives of use #enviroed

a7: listen, read, assume your worldview isn't correct? #enviroed

We are in the woods now. I’ll catch up later love that we’re back chatting #EnviroEd
