@youthsportsNCYS @NBA @AOSSM_SportsMed @jrnba @usabasketball @USABYouth @WNBA @NFHS_Org I have been enjoying your posts, they are extremely informative! I was wondering if you would be able to suggest any research papers or other publications regarding the effects of concussions in minor sports that would be useful to use as a resource for a school project?

A 2017 study found @NBA 1st-round draft picks who played multiple sports in high school had longer pro careers. Pro tip: Overuse injuries are real. Find more ways to stay in the game: bit.ly/3IzkoBk @aossm_sportsmed @jrnba @usabasketball @usabyouth @wnba @nfhs_org

@JulieStammPhD This book looks very informative and I am excited to read it as part of my research for a school project. Do you happen to have any suggestions or further research/publications I could find online as supplementary research?

It's Book Release Day! My book "The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future" is now available! amazon.com/Brain-Youth-Sp…

@columbushosp Wow, this looks like a great event! Do you have a website or any resources that you could share about sports injury prevention in youth sports?

We had a great time participating in Youth Activities Sign Up Day on Saturday. We presented on sports injury prevention, concussion management, our VolunTEEN program and our ear, nose and throat services. We had a blast at the event and hope everyone who came out did too!

Here is a link to a great resource discussing what concussions are and how to evaluate them in the context of minor athletics. nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/sp…

A problem associated with addiction and mental health that could be added is social media. Many people’s mental health suffers due to the prevalence of social media. @EM203JennyBui #EM203Problems

Another problem stemming from the psychological issues within substance abuse is many people who abuse substances struggle with anxiety in relation to accessing the substance. @em203bleung #EM203Problems

A problem associated with the COVID19 Pandemic is Vaccine accessibility in developing countries. This is causing a high level of COVID19 related deaths in these countries. @ZachmannWLU #EM203Problems

@EM203adepiero I completely agree Adam. This course has provided an insightful view of today's education system and how it compares to the ever changing digital age.

@bela6650 Thanks for your insight. It is super interesting that you can see your learning theory in practice through the connections made via twitter!

I've learned about connectivism, a specific learning theory. This Twitter account is an excellent way to test this theory by engaging and building learning connections with other classmates. I'm eager to learn from each other in this online environment! #EM203Robin

@KevinCEM203 Hi Kevin, I couldn't agree more. Seeing the theories and how they relate to learning today has been super insightful!

From the first 3 weeks of EM203, I have been introduced to numerous new theories and concepts regarding learning in the modern age, which seem very applicable in the modern world. I am excited to see what other topics this course has in store. #EM203Robin

@EM203ggosling I agree, learning about how digital media can be used in education today has been super insightful!

@ZachmannWLU Wow learning how to sing a song in German sounds like a super cool activity!

EM203 has been awesome so far! Learning how to sing a song in German, breaking down constructivism and discussing with peers was a great way to learn about a new school of thought. Super excited to see what else we will learn in the rest of the course! #EM203Robin

The first three weeks of EM203, have been incredibly insightful. I have learned about constructivism theory of learning and about how this can be applied to mathematical education. I am very excited to see what is coming for this course! #EM203Robin
