How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Students use this tool regularly and they felt comfortable and at easy using it. Great idea - provided realism to their learning.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Made me really think about my understanding of racisim and maybe I need to adjust some of my teaching on this. Which I have.
My students loved using the resources, they like hands on and the presentation of the resources. The topic is very pertinent for what is happening globally.

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? As per the above comment by recognising first that we all have some type of unconscious bias and how this relates in no small part to racism.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice As stated above, several of my students chose not to interact in this way but to run campaigns in the school to raise awareness.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I did not use the journal in its entirety but it did help me to understand the view point of others both teaching colleagues and students.
I found the kit well structured, well planned and easy to follow from one step to the next. I also found that I was able to modify the kit to my needs. E.g., I have modified the Social Media Campaign to include Community Action Campaigns that do not require students to interact in a virtual environment but within their actual communities. They will be running campaigns against stereotypes, and unconscious bias, while also allowing students to bring their culture and who they are into the classroom. We will start with an awareness campaign in the school and then move it to the community.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? It allowed me to tackle challenging ideas such as white prejudice in a structured and safe way.
When talking about such emotive issues in social studies it can be a fine line between building understanding, challenging our own prejudices or lack of knowledge and crowd control. These resources provided learning contexts that could be used and adjusted according to the students in my class and led to some insightful, inquisitive and respectful class discussion.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice we actually didn't use the social media part last term, but I am very keen to try something with that idea this term or in the future!
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I had already embarked on some anti-racism learning, but this was effective in helping me make these conversations more deliberate in my classes... with my students... and with other teachers! This was a bit harder than I expected and the journal helped e

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice The use of Instagram as a context was awesome, just about all of our students are on Instagram so it was engaging, motivating, thought provoking and challenging for them. We definitely saw an increase in engagement. This unit fitted perfectly within one o
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Did not use this resource sadly, a little bit time strapped currently!!
Myself and my Department thought the kits were inspiring. They challenged us in our own practice and allowed us to reflect on what we were teaching and how we could improve our practice. The kit was so effective that we decided to order another one.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Ok, I'm not a frequent user of instagram so have probably not used this as much as I could.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? It was a good reflective tool and allowed me to reflect in action for action. I received the resources purposely as I am currently teaching human rights to my tauira.
I found the resources user friendly . The in class posters were effective at stimulating conversations. I have enjoyed the online component although I haven't completed them all, it has taken my learning on the context to racism in Aotearoa in new directions
