@MHCC_ There is a noticeable incline of mental health challenges among students who are not given adequate support within the school system. Do you agree that teachers should receive more training on how to approach students who may be struggling with their well-being?

Overcrowded classrooms in schools are a rising concern. This image reflects some of the negative impacts from overcrowded classes such as a stressful learning environment and limited one-on-one assistance for students who need extra support.

The lack of mental health support for students within schools is a growing concern. This photo shows two important statistics to express that adolescents are being impacted and lack the appropriate resources as they are unable to reach out for guidance.

My problem examines the lack of mental health support within schools. This website shows a report that explains the need for professional help to address mental health concerns as students' stress levels continue to increase. thestar.com/news/gta/the-k…

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This website includes a study where researchers explore teachers' views on mental health management and training within schools which discover that educators feel inadequately prepared to manage the mental health needs of their students. #EM203Research

@Em203PrabhnoorG Hello! Thank you for your response regarding my concept map. I think that it is important for teachers to be trained adequately which is why I added a section about this to discuss mental health support within the education system. Thank you for sharing!

@EM203HannahM Access to comprehensive mental health resources and training for educators is critical to address the growing mental health needs of students in Ontario schools. #EM203problems

@em203snardi A problem that I can identify is that there could be negative mental health outcomes that arise for students with learning disabilities as they may feel isolated within the education system. #EM203problems

@EM203LRotstein A problem that I can identify is that there is a shortage of educational assistants in Ontario who provide additional support within special education for the students and teachers. #EM203problems

@EM203AKirsh A problem that I can identify is that there is a shortage of healthcare professionals in Ontario such as doctors and nurses which makes it difficult to address the needs of patients in a timely matter. #EM203problems

@EM203sandrade A problem I can identify associated with your concept is that there is a lack of awareness spread on social media about water scarcity and quality so individuals may not think about the impacts that surround them. #EM203problems

@Em203PrabhnoorG A problem I can identify is that there is a lack of funding available to act against climate change and to put these policies into practice. #EM203problems

@EM203RabeeT A problem that I can identify within the concept you chose is that it can be difficult to promote an engaging learning environment during online classes as students have less opportunity to work with peers and lack motivation. #EM203problems

@Sara_Wingle26 A problem I can identify is the frequent issues involved with plagiarism as students may copy and paste exact information from another persons source which can cause academic misconduct amongst many students. #EM203problems

@em203shall A problem I can identify is that individuals who experience poverty in Ontario may be impacted more often by the rising costs in the food industry as they lack the financial stability to obtain resources. #EM203problems

@EM203EKush Hi, I have also found the lessons to be very interactive so far. I am excited to see what we do next in the course and what other group activities we are able to do during an online class!

The first couple of lessons in EM 203 have been super fun and interactive! I look forward for the rest of the semester. #EM203Robin

@EM203_oscar Hi Olivia! I also enjoyed learning about the different theories, my group focused on constructivism - the idea that we build on existing knowledge to process new information! Thanks for sharing!

My first lesson in EM203 was super interesting! I learned about different learning theories, with a focus on behaviourism - the theory that behaviour can be controlled and predicted using rewards and punishments. I’m excited to learn more in this course! #EM203Robin

@EM203ABilodeau Hi Anastasia, thanks for sharing! I found the three M's interesting to learn about as it shows the different ways we are able to process information. I agree that we have redefined who learners are and I believe we will continue to do so as we move through the course!

The first three lessons discussed the digital age's effect on learning. It has redefined who learners are & modified how consumers of info learn! Further, it explains how technological advances promote the accessibility of both communication and information - 3 M’s. #EM203Robin

@EM203MayaL Hi Maya! I am also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the semester looks like and how we can apply our learnings about digital media into the real world! It is important to know as technology advances and it is interesting to learn how people are impacted.
