The idea for @onedchat stemmed from a conversation between Allison Fuisz and Amy Bowker in the Spring of 2014. They noticed a gap on Twitter where an Ontario-based education chat was concerned. After several conversations and a vision in mind, @onedchat was created.
Welcome to #ONedchat. We are happy to have you here w/ us tonight for whatever time/effort you can give. It's #GlobalGoalsWeek2018 so our chat is timely. We'd love to know the info below in whatever way you can share via Twitter.
@allison_fuisz is behind the @ONedchat handle tonight. Bare w/ her if mistakes are made. A positive attitude is always a good thing in a Twitter Chat when learning together. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs

Hi everyone! My name is Spencer and I am from Kitchener. Obviously I resonate with the Quality Education #SDG! Looking forward to tonight’s chat! #ONedchat
Q1: Innovation, creativity and changing the world is not defined by a specific age range. The possibility for any student to improve our world is real! All students need to be and feel empowered. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A1: We are all citizens of a global world and can each play a role in making our world a better place. There are so many stories of young people achieving HUGE outcomes! #TeachSDGs#ONedchat
A1: to build empathy we must break down the walls that divide us & celebrate the good of the world & collaborate together & empower our Ss to embrace creative/innovation for a better world. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A1 #teachsdgs#onedchat The world needs everyone! Together we can all promote positive change that has a lasting impact. Our students want to engage.. Let’s help give purpose which offers passion to develop, empathy experienced.. @TeachSDGs
A1 empathy. Id like to think it’s my moral imperative to institute change through my students. In order for students to be social leaders, they must be able to see across borders and think beyond academics #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
It is so important to #TeachSDGs to children of all ages so they can start building the capacity to have empathy for others and empower students to understand they can create change for the betterment of the global community. #ONedchat

Thank you for being here #eduhero Sharon! You bring so much light to the goals & do not let age be a barrier to learning / being a change maker. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
Exactly! I just hope that the number of #SDGs doesn’t overwhelm someone to the point of not working with them in their classroom. We can help make positive changes in our world one #GlobalGoal at a time #ONedchat
A2: shows them to break down borders, examine different perspectives, think like there is no box, opens their eyes, investigate through #inquiry and #socialjustice and become #socialchange agents - they develop a voice! #ONedchat
A2: #SDGs can we interwoven into every curriculum area and give a real life applicable topic to explore. Experiential learning can be achieved through finding avenues to service the #SDGs#ONedchat
Exactly! I just hope that the number of #SDGs doesn’t overwhelm someone to the point of not working with them in their classroom. We can help make positive changes in our world one #GlobalGoal at a time #ONedchat
Q2: When we make our thinking and learning spaces real, we model the importance of what we are doing. Authenticity is the key. We can learn alongside eachother. This is how we grow. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
Demonstrating that many #globalgoals require improvement locally and making connections globally build the idea that we are all connected. When students and colleagues see they can make a difference and help our earth can be empowering. Innately people like doing good #ONedchat
The number of goals to teach the had been daunting. However, I noticed the kids have gravitated towards the goals that are easier for them to empathize with. Such as hunger and education. #ONedchat
A2 #teachsdgs#onedchat Ask your students how they can help others.. help the world.. make someone happy.. Create a list, connect student voices to goals.. Endless opportunities for engagement. 🌏
A2: curriculum expectations mold into every learning opportunity our earth has to offer. It creates authentic learning opportunities that be can differentiated to any learner. It just takes a small leap to shift one's learning space to bring them into play. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A2: the key is integrating the curriculum, teaching Ss to ask good questions and developing an #inquiry stance through big ideas and driving Qs. It can be don! #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
#ONedchat A1. The knowledge and understanding of the #sdgs allows for Ss to connect with the real world and realise what they are in the large global community. It helps them think of themselves as Global and GLOCAL citizens
A2 it builds skills that the education system doesn’t necessarily intend for & opens the door to career paths/passions that haven’t been explored before. The level of self-awareness that can be developed by empathizing and understanding our #GlobalGoals is infinite too #ONedchat
It would be great to start a database to help show educators how to integrate through the various curriculums. #onedchat I think some areas such as Language arts and geography the connections are easily made and to some respects science. But what about numeracy?
A1: It is time for us to stop caring so much about the end of grade scores and more about the impact our students are having in their world. #ONedchat#teachSDGS
They can find things they are passionate about based on connections and inevitably those passions will spark thinking into new areas. #TeachSDGs#ONedchat
#ONedchat A2 studies of #sdgs help students evolve from just classroom learners to life long learners...it pushes them to think out of the box and beyond classroom walls which is what the education is aimed at these days ...looking at change...coming from within first
Numeracy can definitely be integrated; it's a chapter in my book...the last chapter in my book is how to integrate it all...the first 8 chapters takes Ts through the steps in order for this kind of teaching and learning to be successful. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A2: I want students to see the power of their learning! Engagement is the end result of providing real world application of the skills you are teaching. Students should not have to wait until they are older to begin impacting their world! #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A2 #GlobalGoals give us a common ground for taking about the issues that bind us together globally. It is important to allow students the opportunity to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another's experiences of the goals are to be achieved.
A3: I have a list = gotta go find! Connect w/ local communities and Ts globally using @PenpalSchools. I also connect with educators on my travels. #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
A3: Ask the students what they want to become involved in and make it happen! We don’t want students to only see that change is possible but instead we want them to be active contributors to change! Help amplify their voices! #ONedchat#TeachSDGs
We look forward to seeing you in just under a month. Keep using #ONedchat to share what you can of your learning space. Thank you again for your time, energy, & voice.
i know it can be but I think this is an area at least for myself I wonder if I am asking enough rich questions or have the most relevant to provocations to drive both the numeracy and the #globalgoals#ONedchat
