Creativity isn't just for art class, it's crucial factor in solving real world problems like economic inequality. Technology tools like AI can help us present bold, innovative solutions. #StudentCreativity #DigitalLearning #EdTech #EM203 forbes.com/sites/tomaspre…

Economic inequality affects billions, this image shows how wealth stacks benefit only a few, while many are left behind. It's a reminder that collaboration and policy change are essential to bridge the gap. #EM203 #EconomicJustice #Collaboration

Cost of living crunch for Ontario students: inflation spiked 8.1%, tuition rose 2.6%, and the minimum wage only crept up 3.9%. We need bigger fixes fair wages, lower fees, better grants. #EM203Robin

Our Chart of the Week shows that even among low-income countries, growth is diverging. From 2022–24, the more advanced group grew by 5.3%, compared with 3.3% for the poorest and just 2.6% for fragile and conflict-affected states. Read more: imf.org/en/Blogs/Artic…

This trend shows youth unemployment is at a decade high which is very concerning and directly related to my #EM203Research on the economy. #EM203Robin

This @CDHowe Institute report explains how automation is impacting Canada’s workforce and youth employment. Essential information for my #EM203Research on the economy. #EM203Robin cdhowe.org/wp-content/upl…

Finishing up week 3 of EM203, still surprised by the fact that 39% of young people sleep with their phones! Excited to see what else I learn throughout the course! #EM203Robin

@EM203ElizaY Me too. I've definitely been thinking a lot about the ideas surrounding digital learning and how humans process information. As the course progresses, I'm excited to see how everything fits together. #EM203Robin

EM203 has been an insightful course so far! Exploring digital learning, learner types, and theories like cognitivism has deepened my understanding of how we process information. I’ve already gained valuable insights and am excited to continue building on them. #EM203Robin

@ChopraDiya24 Right! It's incredible how #EM203Robin challenges us to consider learning more deeply, particularly in our technologically advanced society. I'm also starting to take on new ways of thinking and questioning old habits!

After just a few weeks of EM203, I've gained knowledge about constructivism, acquired a new skill, and am investigating what it takes to be a student in the age of technology. I'm being pushed to consider, adjust, and reconsider how learning actually occurs. #EM203Robin

@faul8110 Great point Daniel,technology is everywhere, but we rarely take the time to think about how it impacts our learning. #EM203Robin is definitely making me more aware of that too!

#EM203Robin I've enjoyed the content surrounding the first few lessons because the generation of students taking this course are digital natives- we are so used to having access to technology and endless information that we rarely get to reflect on what it means for learning.

@EM203Ved I completely understand what you mean! #EM203Robin really makes you realize how much the definition of literacy has changed. Thinking of all the new tools we have available to us is crazy, but it's also incredibly empowering. Excited for what is coming in the future!

#EM203Robin challenged my idea of literacy today. We’re expected to navigate videos, games, data visualizations, even code. The digital landscape is a new classroom. Can’t wait to test these skills in real projects.

@em203zohaibg Right? The way #EM203Robin integrates digital tools is such a game-changer. It’s amazing to see how learning can be more interactive and engaging than ever before. Can’t wait to see what the next lessons bring!

Wrapped up the first 3 lessons of #EM203Robin and I’m already blown away by how digital tools are flipping teaching/learning on its head compared to the old days. Loving the mix of multimedia activities and fresh perspectives, can’t wait for more!

3 lessons in #EM203Robin and so far it has been an amazing learning opportunity. After exploring the topic of cognitivism and seeing how multi modal tools enhance engagement but may risk overload was extremely interesting. Excited to see what else is to come with this course!
