Teaching SDGs

I got an excellent list of resources the other day and will just share the DM I received:

THANK YOU for your ongoing support of our mission: to engage and empower every classroom on earth with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Many of you have asked for the best resources to help you get started.

Here are our suggestions… and they’re all free!
  • Best #TeachSDGs course: 1 hour lesson from @MicrosoftEdu https://education.microsoft.com/courses-and-resources/courses/SDG …
  • Best K-12 #TeachSDGs lesson plans: @TheWorldsLesson & @Participate http://worldslargestlesson.globalgoals.org/  https://www.participate.com/marketplace
  • Easiest way to #SparkEmpathy through a class-to-class video match: @EmpaticoOrg https://empatico.org/  #SparkEmpathy
  • Best #TeachSDGs "hook" videos: @TheGlobalGoals' YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRfuAYy7MesZmgOi1Ezy0ng …

Please continue to share and celebrate how you #TeachSDGs and, again, THANK YOU!! Wishing you a wonderful and well deserved summer break, The #TeachSDGs team http://www.teachsdgs.org 

Google Slides

The amazing Alice Keeler has put together a great set of videos on how to get the most out of Google Slides. Check out her post here.

Data Literacy

I was happy to catch Michelle Luhtala's webinar a week or so ago on Data and Data Literacy.  I was kind of thinking that this was going to be more fake news kind of material, but she really took it in a different direction which I hadn't looked at in a while.  Those of you who teach middle and high school social studies or science, probably know these sites, but if not- check them out. Even if you teach elementary students, some of the basics are also highlighted- check the scale of the graph, etc.  I simply find Hans Rosling and his data visualizations to be pretty amazing.

This site was new to me- Social Explorer. As you might expect-lots of maps and data visualization. There's also a youtube video to demonstrate how to add your own data.  She also shared some of Mark Liddell's work on statistics.
The other two links that I really liked were Lea Gaslowitz' How to spot a misleading graph- which can easily be used across both grade levels and disciplines, and  David McCandless' Information is Beautiful site. Check out his visualization of Snake Oil Supplements and so many more!
Please check out Michelle's webinar recording on edweb.net or her Pearltrees links.  If you have never explored Gapminder... check it out either link.  I couldn't decide on my favorite Hans Rosling video... but put one below.  The world certainly misses Hans, but we are so fortunate to have so many videos available to view and review.
