A problem that is important to me is the impact of school closures in rural areas. This has long lasting effects on communities growth, academic performance, and career opportunities. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

I grew up in a lower-income situation in rural Ontario. Where little was equal, public school helped level the playing field and opened doors for me. Every kid deserves that opportunity. We must protect public education, even and especially now. #onted theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@ParmpreetGarcha Hi Parmpreet! I totally agree. This class is raising some very interesting facts about learning that I believe many people overlook. However, all of this information is very valid and important to be aware of. Especially in this ever changing world!

The first three weeks of #EM203Robin have been very educational and fun! It's a very engaging and interactive course and I've enjoyed learning how the digital world is changing the traditional method of learning.

@em203gbilodeau Hi there, I completely agree! I have never used Twitter before this class so it makes me interested in what other social media platforms can be used to learning and in the learning environment!

So far I have enjoyed EM203 #EM203Robin throughout the last three weeks. As somebody who does not commonly use this social media platform, I have enjoyed exploring the various learning techniques. Everything about this course has been quite different (such as learning German!

@BriannaHaswell Hi Bri! I too have found this class to be very interactive and engaging. I feel it’s a common theme that social media can be used in the classroom but it’s interring to first hand see it’s effectiveness through our use of Twitter!

The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been extremely interactive and engaging, allowing me to better understand, and learn about different learning environments, theories, and techniques within a digital world!! #EM203Robin

@EM203DelAndrews Hi Delaney! I couldn’t agree more! By using different platforms of media and assignments in this class really emphasizes the point of how powerful technology has become and how I can be integrated into the classroom.

These past few weeks of taking EM203 have prompted me to start thinking critically about my own learning styles. I enjoy the interactive online activities and twitter posts, especially as technology has become a significant part of our education and daily lives. #EM203Robin

@dinizhan Hi Dini, I totally agree! This class has been really interesting. For me personally it is open my eyes at the different ways of learning and how this has changed since we were younger and in elemtary school!
