@ItsDCamps As a graduate who has done research on the topic of poverty in Canada, do you think this problem is significant enough for the government to take action and directly support the low-income households?

EM203 has shown me how powerful Digital Literacy can be. It explores less traditional ways of learning, and the ability to combine learning styles. This allows for greater connectivism across students. #EM203Robin

@HopeEM203 Digital literacy has definitely had a strong impact on all learners. We can now benefit from all sorts of media, technology, and interactions to feed our minds with knowledge. This sets up opportunities for learners who aren't the most effective with traditional learning.

There is an emphasis on a new wave of digital literacy that is impacting the way we learn! Using non-traditional modes of learning is beneficial to more visual learners, but the combination of materials can be somewhat confusing. #EM203Robin

@EM203DevonWeese The different learning styles we've read about in EM203 are extremely eye-opening because by using them, we can identify the type of learning style that we enjoy the most and more importantly, is the most effective.

So far in EM203, I have continued to learn the different strategies and tools for different learning styles. Each person will have their own method and every method won’t work for certain people. #EM203Robin

@em203escott Moving to the digital age, connectivism is incredibly effective as the exposure to technology and media can grasp the learner's attention in a variety of ways and also in a way that sparks their interest.

@JennaWi67841679 Performing the multi-tasking memory task really helped me get a sense of how I can get distracted while trying to learn. Having other sources of media in the background lead me to having poor results compared to the test I conducted without any distractions.

In my EM203 course I have been learning about various theories of learning, which are specific to learning in the digital age. This week my class discussed many multi-media learning methods and completed a multi-tasking memory task! #EM203Robin

@em203aknoop Connectivism has definitely taken on a huge role on students learning in this age. Having resources such as the internet and other technologies available for us to use has exposed us to new ways of comprehending different concepts.

In EM203, I've gotten a very interactive experience on the topics we've discussed. After reading about learning theories such as Constructivism, Learning By Doing, and Cognitivism, I am more aware of these concepts and can observe them in my own learning #EM203Robin
