Here is an infographic that I made explaining how sexism impacts us throughout our lives.

@IvonaHideg What do you think students at universities such as Laurier can do to help with inequalities such as sexism, to make the biggest difference at the school?

This map is a great visual representation of the percentage of people living in extreme poverty in each population. Dark blue being the least and dark red being the most. #EM203Robin

In order for us to make a change and work together to stop sexism, we need to realize that even if we aren't going through it, if you see someone who is you need to say something and help them. By not saying anything, you're becoming part of this problem that needs to be stopped.

Below is a link that explains how sexism impacts younger women's mental health and the long-lasting effects. youngwomenstrust.org/assets/0001/26…

Minneapolis restaurateur Rashad West, the owner of Dragon Wok, released surveillance camera footage from outside his restaurant disproving Derek Chauvin’s claims that George Floyd resisted arrest. West felt it was his duty to make his findings public. read.medium.com/8pfIRPO

Today, when students are done school, they typically feel as if they have no idea what to do with their money, for example, how to save or do taxes. With this new curriculum, students will be taught from a young age how to handle their money. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Nice mind map @nikrakas8, I think something that you should consider is how environmental issues start and from here see if there are similarities that can be stopped to help solve this problem. #EM203Problems

@Jess05491276 I liked your mind map, one thing I would consider doing is going more in-depth on how someone is discriminated against and show if there are differences on how the different groups of people get discriminated against. #EM203Problems

Great mind map @EM203ASheth, I think one thing you should consider for your mind map is how addiction is developed and if there are certain key aspects that may lead a person to addiction. #EM203Problems

@EM203azegarac Health is something we need to focus on every day in our lives. Using your mind map, it made me realize one key problem people forget about when they think of health is that that mental, emotional, financial, and physical health all go hand in hand. #EM203Problems

@EM203svisser Before this course, I knew there were different learning styles, but I can now see how many different ways of learning there really are. I think this idea is crucial as everyone learns and interprets differently and this should be something that we all keep in mind.

@EM203MakaylaD I also got to read about Connectivism and how it is being used today and it has allowed me to see how relevant this theory is in today's society.

In the first 3 weeks of EM203, I have been able to analyze through online group discussions how we as a learners can benefit from social platforms through connective learning. With that being said, I am looking forward to further pursuing this educational journey! #EM203Robin

@EM203priyankak I think that it is so important that we have gotten to learn so much relevant information in this course such as the different ways of learning. With this information, we will not only be able to teach others better, but also help us improve our daily interactions.

The first three lessons in this course have taught me a lot about the way people learn, specifically how perceptions and ideas are shaped through one's experiences, also known as constructivism. I also taught myself how to solve a sudoku puzzle! #EM203Robin

@EM203oranney I agree that reading and learning about the different learning theories was very interesting as we got to see different ways to approach teaching and how students may react to these approaches.

The first 3 lessons have provided me insight on learning within a digital age and the effects that follow. Additionally, I looked deeper into the learning type behaviourism and found it intriguing how reinforcements can help shape a person. #EM203Robin

@EM203NNielsen Hi Nick, I agree that it's great that this course is allowing us to see how we can learn today with these new advancements while also allowing us to learn new skills such as how to do sudoku.

In the past three weeks of EM203, I have learned about how people understand knowledge in the new digital age that we live in today. As well I had the opportunity to read about the cognitivism theory, along with learning new skills like how to complete a hard sudoku. #EM203Robin

The first 3 Weeks in EM203 have allowed me to see how different people learn and how learning has changed in this new digital age. Specifically, I got to read about Conectivism which uses the mass networks online to make connections and encourage continuous learning. #EM203Robin
