Here is a sneak peak into my journey of spreading the news on water pollution #EM203Problem

The problem that I have been investigating in my online class is water pollution and it's harmful impact on the environment, wildlife and humankind #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

@drianwright I am located in Canada and this is something that we have been trying to pursue. Here is a website I have found canada.constructconnect.com/dcn/news/Proje… Do you have anything similar in Australia?

@drianwright This is an extremely interesting point Ian! I am doing research on water pollution for an online class and this is the first time I have come across info about road run-off. I was wondering if you have ever heard of the Atlantic Stormwater Initiative and what are your thoughts?

The wetlands and streams of the Blue Mountains are environmentally fragile. Runoff from urban areas and roads is a major source of water pollution. Did you know that its concrete infrastructure is gradually dissolving and impairing downstream World Heritage Area wetland water?

@brianrmitchell4 This is a great step towards tackling the great problem of water pollution! What else can we do as citizens to help this issue?

Quebec has completed truly massive water pollution infrastructure investments in Montréal, yet challenges continue! Montreal ends boil-water advisory for large portion of West Island | The Star thestar.com/news/canada/20…

@equalityAlec I am studying water pollution for my online class, and I think you have raised an extremely valid point. What IF the effects of water pollution was broadcasted to us citizens similar to the way crime is? Do you think that this in turn, would bring about more activism?

Much of deadly U.S. air and water pollution is also criminal, but “law enforcement” chooses to ignore it, and thus so do most journalists. twitter.com/equalityAlec/s…

This is a thread about how journalists decide what is “news” and what isn’t. Anyone shaping the news and anyone consuming the news should understand who decides what counts as news, how they decide it, and what determines what they say about it. Here, I ask a few questions:

further action!

Today, on #IndigenousVeteransDay, we remember and honour the First Nations, Métis and Inuit men and women in uniform who sacrificed so much, for the peace and freedom we enjoy today. Today and every day we are in their debt. To them, we say thank you. #CanadaRemembers

Education is so very important in gaining traction and understanding on this issue that will ultimately impact every single one of us! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

davidsuzuki.org/action/canadas… This is a wonderful non-profit organization that also collaborated with indigenous communities that is designed to bring attention to the climate crisis, bring awareness to sustainability and draw our attentiveness back to mother nature. #EM203Research

@EM203FChaves Thank you so much for the feedback Felicia!

@asinc1400 Great concept map! Mental health can be a very tough concept but I think you encapsulated it well. I think your main "issue" you were getting at was how each faucet of life can contribute to mental health! #EM203problems

@MegJohnston01 Great Job! I think the main problem you're getting at here is how global warming will ultimately impact every aspect of our lives in the future. It's a very important topic and I actually did my concept map on it as well, if you want to check it out!#EM203problems

@EM203FChaves Great concept map! I think your main "problem" could be about the different faucets that affect an individual students success. #EM203problems

@EM203Kiara Hi Kiara, glad you are enjoying the course as much as I am. I cannot wait to learn more about digital media and connect with each other online via twitter!!

Currently in the course EM203! I have made my first twitter account where I can connect with my classmates and professor which is so new to me, and I have read about different learning theories which I find so interesting (relates to psychology so I enjoy it)#EM203Robin

@EM203AKoves Hi Alexis, you made a great point regarding the use of digital media during COVID! It has definitely been an interesting journey. Can't wait to see where this course takes us :)

@EM203JBandi Hi, Phrog! I definitely agree with you that the class content has been super interesting thus far. Cannot wait to learn more and connect with each other via twitter :)

Everyone is different and learning about how they learn is great! With this, you can help others by using a variety of techniques and methods to find the best way to make the content easy and stick! So far, everything I've learned in EM203 has been awesome😁 #EM203Robin

@wueb1300 Hi, Kayla! I am also excited to dig into more knowledge about the crazy digital world we live in. It is also exciting to connect via twitter along the way :)
