@EM203Areingold I wasn't expecting any pictures when I was going through classmates to respond to, so it made me laugh a little. My 3 courses, 2 jobs, and I get this feeling!!! Keep pushing through, but take care while doing so... Self-check-ins are important!

@EM203NJeong I completely agree. I let myself enjoy a game of Sudoku without any guilt or pressure to be studying, and I still felt like I was learning in the process. I’d absolutely recommend this course to anyone who hasn’t taken it yet!

#EM203Robin I'm enjoying the class so far and content is easy to follow. I like the little activities we have to do as well. I'm not used to profs asking students to knit but I'm also not opposed to it!

@em203Jadyn Definitely an interesting fact, but I can't say I'm surprised. I would like to know the rankings of each province on that scale. Any guesses which would be first and which would be last?

Completing week 3 of EM203, I loved learning that Canadian adults are some of the largest internet users in the world, at an average of 41.3 hours per month! #EM203Robin

@em203kfiolleau Hi! I'm not a Matcha lover but I really want to be. Any recommendations for what might help? I love a good Blonde Vanilla Latte from Starbucks. Let me know what you think!

Today I learned how to make my Matcha Latte at home, where I spend $40 on the Matcha, $30 on a bamboo whisk, and $10 on my sifter.... That'll really help me save on the $5 Matcha Latte.... #EM203Robin

@7372Maddy Thanks for sharing Maddy! It’s cool to see how learning has shifted over the years. I agree that engagement is key, but finding a balance between on and offline is essential.

This we we discovered how learning has evolved from behaviourism to connectivism, where knowledge is built through networks and digital connections on and offline. Engaging with content in multiple ways boosts learning, while tech multitasking can reduce focus. #EM203Robin

'Fun' was my initial thought to describe the first three classes of this EM 203 course. I look forward to continuing with this course and developing new skills! #EM203Robin
