Vaping is a unique and alarming trend affecting a large amount of youth in today's society. It is causing teens to become addicted to nicotine, and causing severe health issues down the road. #StopYouthVaping #QuitVaping #EM203Research

@OHomelessness do you think that the newly appointed Housing Affordability Task Force will reverse the current housing crisis?

Hi @OHomelessness I am a student at Wilfrid Laurier University. I am currently doing research on homelessness in Ontario and the current housing crisis. Could you speak about your impact on this issue?

Solution for homelessness.

This website addresses homelessness in Ontario. It provides province-funded programs to prevent and end homelessness, which is more important than ever in the current housing crisis. ontario.ca/page/addressin…

"I'm absolutely devastated by what took place last night." buzzfeed.com/natashajokic1/…

With home prices sharply rising in southern-Ontario, the housing market is unaffordable and in turn, homelessness is skyrocketing.

From the past three lessons, I have learned how technology has positive and negative effects in which it aids in our learning, how different learning theories can be applied, and how much cognitive overload is present in millennials. #EM203Robin

@RBarkerEm203 Hi Reilly. I like your point about how much the digital age has advanced how society learns. Learning nowadays is so different than learning 20 years ago because of technology.

I have really enjoyed the first 3 weeks of this course! One thing I have learned so far is how much the digital age has advanced how society learns, and how open source articles have made learning more accessible than ever. #EM203Robin

@EM203Colton Great tweet Colton! I have also enjoyed realizing the impact technology has on my learning, especially after learning online for the past year and a half. I look forward to more posts from you.

@KatherineMusch1 Hey Katherine. I appreciate your insight on the influence of media and I think it's a great idea for people to consider this and re-evaluate their technology usage, especially university students!

@EM203LBalkovec Hi Lucas, I find that the learning by doing style this course offers is a nice change from reading and reiterating the textbook like in other courses. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts this semester.

@Em203ParisJ Hi Paris, I think the distraction of social media has a lot to do with cognitive overload in millennials. Distractions can make it very difficult to process information. I'm glad you mentioned this!

Being a student, the first three weeks in this course has helped me appreciate learning in the digital age. Researching connectivism has shown me how technology has given our generation new opportunitiesto learn. #EM203Robin
