@educationweek Given all the supports for students, are their any tips and support for educators who have struggled with online teaching?

Shoutout to @RobinPersadWL! Dr. Persad truly goes above and beyond for his students, and everyone needs to take a course with him!! He mainly teaches in the Education department, and it was a pleasure taking a course with him this fall!

@educationweek As COVID cases rise, what do you think about schools remaining open? How does this effect the work of educators in the classroom?

This picture is from April 2019, when Ford eliminated over 3,000 teaching positions.

In addition to the challenges in place within the Ontario education system, growing class sizes and a decrease of teachers is not beneficial to anyone and needs to be addressed. flare.com/news/ontario-e…

Well that was shameful... There is no coming back from that, this will be in the history book #TrumpMeltdown

So many issues in the public education system, it's so nice to see people who care and are trying to change it #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Really great job explaining connectivism!

@EM203meezan I also found it interesting learning about the learning theories! I found it interesting to learn how I have used them in my life before and how effective they were without even knowing.

@Prerna_EM203 I feel the same Prerna, although we face struggles of being fully online this year, this course is helping me to see how we can benefit from it as well.

So far, EM203 has taught me so many more facts about digital media that I previously had no clue about. With the current pandemic and everything shifting online, I feel that this course had helped me a lot in understanding how learning digitally can also be effective.#EM203Robin

@merna_em203 I agree with you Merna! Learning how to use technology to our advantage will become increasingly important in the years to come!

@ElizabethEM203 Yes Elizabeth, I have also come to realize how much social media has impacted our lives, especially our learning enviornments!

@EM203TaiaG I agree with you Taia! I have also learned how much impact multitasking has on our learning and the importance of our environment.

In the course #EM203Robin, I have learned about Constructivism and the key points within the learning theory and how effective this theory can be in the classroom. I have also learned about the 3M's Multi-media, Multi-modal, and Multitasking.
