Hi! @nanditabasu2 I am a student from Wilfrid Laurier University. In your expert opinion, how can local communities come together to protect and preserve water resources? Are you aware of any successful community-based water conservation initiatives?

Shoreline or beach cleanups can be effective in combatting water pollution #EM203Robin

Water pollution continues to negatively impact wildlife and other aspects of the environment. Visit shorelinecleanup.org to learn about the Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup program and Canadian efforts to combat water pollution! #EM203Robin

Historic milestone here: Nations have reached agreement to protect the world's oceans. Human activity has altered 66% of marine environment. Action to protect our oceans, marine biodiversity & livelihoods must now be immediate. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

The train derailment in Ohio has exposed residents to harmful chemicals, causing various health issues. This incident can be explored further in my final summative assignment, where I will address environmental issues like air and water pollution. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@EM203MBrown It's nice to see someone else doing an environmental issues concept map. Something you could have included was ground polution such as the effects of harmful chemicals and pesticides on the environment #em203problems

@EM203ABodalia Your concept map on health was well organized! Outlining the specific causes and effects may be helpful to connect the sections. Eg. for nutrition you can consider intake of foods, effects on the body and how this impacts mental and physical health. #EM203problems

@EM203ASilva Your concept map on poverty was very well designed. One section that I believe would be beneficial to add is location/geography. This can have a significant impact on poverty when considering cost of living and access to fundamental services. #EM203problems

@EM203FGranieri You included many important issues relating to health. I thought that your section on mental health issues was very essential to include! In this section you could also add specific mental health issues (bipolar, depression, anxiety, etc.) #EM203problems

@EM203ATse Your mind map included many important environmental issues within Canada! The set up of your map was very intuitive, outlining specific effects, causes, solutions, and oversights. An additional issue that you can add is air and water pollution. #EM203problems

@EM203EFletcher It is very interesting to learn about the impacts and various of technology and and social media. I look forward to the rest of the term, where we further explore these uses and impacts!

Over the last three weeks I have gained an understanding of Twitter more. I have also gained a better understanding of what the Digital age is and how impactful it is on our generation. I now understand exactly how hard multi-tasking was and how ineffective it is. #EM203Robin

@EM203AWalker I agree, I have really enjoyed the content of this course so far! It was interesting to learn about the multi-media, multi-modal, and multi-tasking last week. Through last week's task, I also learned that I am not the best at multi-tasking! Something to work on this year :)

3 weeks down, 9 to go! I have really enjoyed this course so far. Something that has stuck with me is how terrible I am at multitasking, haha! I am excited for next week to learn about the impact that digital learning has had on the time and place of learning. #EM203Robin

@em203digiallon I agree, this course has been very interactive and informative! I also learned how to complete a sudoku puzzle and have been enjoying the various weekly tasks.

My first three weeks of #EM203Robin have been super fun! This course is super interactive and incredibly informative on the learning theories for our digital age. This week I learned how to complete a Sudoku puzzle! I can’t wait to expand my knowledge the remainder of this term!

@EM203Kthamber I also found it very interesting to see the different learning theories and how different one's can apply to social media platforms like Twitter.

#EM203Robin The first three weeks of #EM203Robin have been great! It has been interesting understanding the different ways people learn and the importance of how learning (overall) is evolving and changing in our digital age. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester.

@EM203Arkend I have never used Twitter as one of my primary social media platforms either, so this course is very interesting. Excited to see what the rest of the semester is like!

I am finding the modules in this class to be quite interesting. As someone who has never had a twitter account I am especially enjoying using twitter for the first time. #EM203Robin

Currently in the third week of EM203 and have been loving the course so far! Learning the ways in which various digital technologies and social media platforms can be of use for collaborative and creative learning. Excited for the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin
