Canada’s Indigenous population accounts for 4.9% of the population. Despite representing such a small percentage of the population, they suffer from a range of health problems at a disproportionately higher rate than the general Canadian population. #EM203

Absolutely love these tips about things people can do that will positively impact their mental health :)

I highly recommend taking an in-depth read of this paper put out by UNESCO that addresses the topic of climate change. #EM203 unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0…

Environmental racism: when a particular demographic isn't provided clean drinking water by the governing bodies who promised it to them

very true! appreciate what you have while you have it and be mindful of what you can’t take back #EM203Robin

@AshleyEM203 Hi Ashley, I think its amazing to see how far technology has already come to look forward to where we're going! It feels like just yesterday that smart boards were the newest thing on the block and in the span of a few short years they've been made ancient.

@EM203SGibson great map! You covered a multitude of issues. I think this article would be interesting to use as you further your research on homelessness and what we can do about it: …ingresearchcollaborative.scarp.ubc.ca/files/2019/06/…

@em203dottysimoo Great concept map! Another environmental issue that you could include is poor governance - many organizations are not fit to deal with environmental and climate issues and there are an abundance of policy constraints government-wise. #EM203problems

@haye6570 I really liked your concept map & totally agree that there is an issue with "dumbing down" education. A problem that I have identified is that the value of education diminishes immensely when there is no accountability or there are no academic penalties. #EM203problems

@em203mlewis Thanks for your reply! I also plan on becoming a teacher and I am curious to see how technology and learning in a digital age will affect us from the teacher’s perspective. :)

@AshleyEM203 Hi Ashley! I agree it is super interesting to be studying about the possible impacts on the education system in the future. These predictions are very relevant to me because I plan to become a teacher so technology in the classroom will influence my day to day life. Great post!

The last 3 lessons of EM203 have been so fun and informative! I have learned so much about learning in a digital age and look forward to the rest of the semester. I am excited to see how technology will further impact education in the future. #EM203Robin

@em203natreusch Hello! Thanks for sharing. I think concept maps are a great resource for studying. I find them very helpful for memorization & making sure I understand everything about a specific idea.

I’ve really enjoyed the first few lessons of EM203! I’ve learned a handful of interesting concepts. One that has stood out to me is how concept maps are used to connect ideas and problem-solve! #EM203Robin

@Em203Komonen Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing! I agree that technology has impacted the way we learn in a classroom. For those of us who wish to become teachers, it’ll be interesting to see how it will affect how we teach in a classroom.

In the first lesson of EM203, I have enjoyed leaning about the new digital age and the impacts technology has had on us. #EM203Robin

@AnnieEM203 Hi Annie! Thanks for sharing. What about constructivism interested you?

The first couple weeks of the EM203 course have been awesome! One of the concepts that I have enjoyed learning about so far is the topic of constructivism. #EM203Robin

@em203aashna Hey Aashna! I agree with your thoughts and I think that the digital age will continue to influence the way we learn. I am excited to see where technology will take education!
