This article talks about the effects Covid 19 has had on education. It’s a great read! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@JamesYaoWLu1 @NIMHgov Hello James. I believe we can implement more support programs, if there were more counsellors available, I feel students would feel more comfortable to speak about their personal issues.

Hey @NIMHgov, as pandemic has passed and mental health has been brought to the forefront as something we should be taking seriously. The younger demographic seem to struggle with MH. What are some needed things that should be implemented within school systems to ensure good MH.

What are some of the potential approaches to solving gender inequity? How can people get involved and feel they made a difference? @unwomenchief

An issue I saw with my own mind map is the lack of colour variation. I wanted to stick with a neutral colour so it didn't appear messy, but maybe next time it will be better to use a different variety of colours. #EM203problems

@malskaitis Hello Alyssa. I liked your mind map a lot! A problem I identified is different lengths and organization of the subtopics, a very small fix. #EM203problems

@AaronEM203 I really enjoyed learning a new task last week too! I had been wanting to learn to knit for a while, so this challenge was the perfect opportunity to start.. my next goal is to make a sock! Which task did you try?

@shikhaEM203 Hello Shikha, I like how you not only spoke about mental health problems but physical as well. I believe that you could add self-image or body dysmorphia as well! #EM203problems

@EM203czarina The knowledge gained may be more important and rewarding in the future than the completion of the puzzle itself. It appears that it was a challenging task that forced you to think in a different manner. This knowledge will help you next time you encounter a hard task. Great job!

@EdwinSEM203 Having the internet at our disposal is something we as humans definitely take advantage of. We practically have access to any information available in the world, hopefully these teachings remain productive as we analyze the different learning methods of individuals.

@EM203Davin It is great to see how these fairly new theories are beginning to receive real recognition and support. As you said, education and digital medias are combining...meaning we will require effective strategies for learning in the near future.

@Em203Alexia The teachings in this class have been quite informative, I also have been able to apply the learning theories to multiple situations. specifically connectivism.

The first three weeks of EM203 have helped me understand the digital world and its advantages in a learning environment. The learning theories portray how they could be applied in different situations- media, online, technology, classroom, etc. #EM203Robin

@wlu2023kamilla I agree Kamilla! It was difficult at first because i've never taken a class similar to this one. I feel the content has become quite enjoyable now.

So far I have really liked the course "Learn 280 Characters or Less", it definitely took some time to get used to it but now that I figured out how to navigate the course it's more fun! #EM203Robin

This week I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone and complete a new task I was not familiar with. I enjoyed it because I was forced to apply new skills and critical thinking to complete said task. #EM203Robin
