Part 5 🧵: For anyone who is interested in reading further into the topics that I have spoken about today, I've included the following references! This is the research that I used to define the problem and create a solution.

Part 4 🧵: The answer to the poll is option D, all of the above! As stated in the videos, moving more and eating less is the historic narrow view of obesity. We now know that this problem is much more complex! #EM203robin

Around 1 in 10 premature deaths in Canada between the ages 20 to 64 is directly attributable to obesity. The majority of this stems from childhood obesity. Please watch the videos in this thread 🧵to better understand the problem, and how we can solve it. #EM203robin #obesity

@EM203LComeau This link provides some very valuable insights into climate change and why it must be addressed!!

Climate Change is an urgent global problem which must be addressed before it's too late un.org/en/climatechan….

@EM203LComeau I think that it must be with utmost urgency as we near our planet's natural limits!

Do you consider climate change a critical global problem that must be addressed?

@EM203LComeau I completely agree, this is something that we need to look to address urgently. Thanks for sharing this Luke!

Climate Change is the most prominent issue facing our global society today and must be urgently addressed with innovative solutions!

Obesity in general is a huge issue worldwide, and is a problem that's pervasiveness is significantly influenced by childhood obesity. Here are some facts and statistics to give a global perspective on global obesity. #obesity #EM203robin #problem

I see that you've spoken about how a sedentary lifestyle is ruining people's health. What do you think we can do to encourage children to be more active and avoid this? @DrRSheth11

Hi there @ShreyaShah22 ! I'm currently studying at Wilfrid Laurier University, and I'm looking into the issue of sedentary lifestyles for children. What do you think are the impacts of the sedentary lifestyles that children have on their overall health?

Rising inflation is impacting the cost of living for Canadians across the country. This article discusses many methods the government can use to control inflation. investopedia.com/ask/answers/11….

@Yodadiagnostics This is an interesting tweet that outlines some of the causes and misunderstandings around obesity! #EM203robin #EM203Research

Obesity, caused by a combination of factors like an unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, genetics, and environment, has complex causes and significant consequences. It increases the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

This website mentions the health benefits of leading an active lifestyle, as well as how to do so, like aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity a day. #EM203Research #1.-Take-it-slow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">healthline.com/health/womens-…

@EM203EWing Great concept map! I love that you highlighted the problem of obesity can be associated with the lack of education and misinformation regarding nutrition #EM203problems

@em203vla I just looked over your concept map from lesson 5, it looks great! One problem that I associated with it was the fact that the curriculum needs to be designed to stay up to date with changing topics such as sex education. #EM203problems

@EM203EthanChan This is something that I never really thought about either. After learning this, it's interesting to see how much multimedia plays a role in our daily learning. On top of this, it's interesting to see how important technology is in facilitating this multimedia approach!

I didn't realize the influence that multimedia has not just based on the information that is being provided but by the way it is delivered could complete change the way that the topic is presented! #EM203Robin

@EM203GPanlaqui Hi Gabriel, I agree, these last 3 weeks have been quite insightful! The digital era and the use of technology in our learning has been something I've really enjoyed. I'm curious to see how technology will continue to impact our learning as we continue to innovate.

These last three weeks have been very insightful, learning about the digital era and it’s impact on how we learn . I further enjoyed diving deeper into the concept of constructivism and it’s emphasis on consciousness/free will #EM203Robin
