I will be linking how I'm going to develop these skills through my selected learning outcome. 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/351950281 Students need to begin developing these skills at a young age so they can develop them as they get older. These skills will become essential as part of every day life in the future. It is important to start developing them now as they will get more complex as they move into senior cycle and even third level education.
The main skills that I will be looking to develop are:
Managing Myself- much of the focus is on development education so students will learn how to become more aware of the effects that they themselves have on the environment and know what they are doing will have an impact.
Communication: to be able to learn from others and receive information in an effective manor
Being Creative: to be able to move out of their comfort zones and express their feeling and emotions in a variety of ways. and to make different knowledge accessible to everyone- visual and kinaesthetic learners
Working with others: vital part of future life as they will have to communicate their emotions and opinions to others in the future.
Managing Information and Thinking- to be able to identify fair and bias information and be aware of cyber threats as they can develop rapidly. important for them to be able to reflect on past experiences and build on them for the future.]]> 2019-04-16 12:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/351950281 Rationale 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/351951389

I was able to relate to it when I was exploring ways of including development education.  It highlighted to me the four main features of development education that I needed to include:
1. Knowledge- I needed to explain to the students what is currently happening- the water and carbon cycles and the chemical reactions involving carbon dioxide etc.
2. Attitudes and values- needed to ask the students their thoughts on the issue and what they thought could be done to counteract this issue.
3. Capabilities and skills- class discussion on what are the effects of changing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Critical thinking on the processes that humans are doing that affect the natural processes on earth.
4. Behaviour Skills and Actions- what decisions can we make now that will help future generations- posters to put up around the school to make people more aware of the effect that their actions are having on the environment.]]> 2019-04-16 16:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/352028581 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/352035943 This article has highlighted to me the link between emotions and learning. 
It also highlighted to me that in order for me to teach about development education, I needed to have a deep contextual understanding of the topic in hand. 'Teachers misconceptions about climate change are problematic not only because scientifically inaccurate ideas may be transferred to their students, but also because their misunderstandings could be related to adverse emotions about the topic'
This article has also highlighted to me the importance of remaining a neutral party in the class discussions on this topic.]]> 2019-04-16 16:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/352035943 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/352801929 2019-04-19 19:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/352801929 Lesson Plan Associated with this LO https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357546743 2019-05-07 10:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357546743 Worksheet given to students https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357547039 2019-05-07 10:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357547039 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357548837 2019-05-07 10:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357548837 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357549945 2019-05-07 10:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357549945 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357551624 Some resources for teachers looking on ways to teach the topic of climate change]]> 2019-05-07 10:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357551624 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357552041 2019-05-07 10:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357552041 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357552574 2019-05-07 10:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357552574 Great topics for walking debate on climate change and template for students to do research on the internet, based on climate change. https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357555584 2019-05-07 11:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357555584 PowerPoint Presentation on Climate Change. 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357731382 2019-05-07 17:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357731382 PowerPoint on the Cycles on Earth 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357733177 2019-05-07 17:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357733177 Resources for teachers on Climate Change and Global Warming https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357971169 2019-05-08 10:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/357971169 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358034202 2019-05-08 13:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358034202 Ways in which I have planned to incorporate the key skills. 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358093246 2019-05-08 15:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358093246 This article helped me to link anthropogenic activities to the disturbance of the nature water cycle and the affects that it is having on it. It illustrates to us how humans are directly having an impact on the natural water cycle process: storage of water, irrigation schemes in Africa etc. by looking at this article, it allowed me to link material within my LO- Earths processes (water cycle) and human activities (water storage/ irrigation) affect Earth's climate. It shows that with increased temperatures, this is going to increase our need for irrigation and water storage. I will ask the students how they think humans affect the water cycle- class discussion. 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358129507 2019-05-08 16:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358129507 Unpacked Learning Outcome 17221749 https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358160199 2019-05-08 17:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/17221749/iphb4hv5rx6v/wish/358160199
