A major problem surrounding my family as well as my friends, was childhood obesity. For multiple reasons, the children in our families were affected by it. For this reason, childhood obesity is something that I am interested to more learn about. #EM203problem #Em203Robin

The attached link is for a website that talks about the concerns surrounding childhood obesity and explains which children are more at risk #Em203Robin childhoodobesityfoundation.ca/what-is-childh…

This reminds me of when I was young and would go watch the players at the Canadian open in the summer, a simple glove or a ball from a player can make a kid happy for a long time and leaves them with memories they will never forget! #EM203Robin

Childhood obesity is a major problem with today's youth for many reasons. The following image helps to show some solutions to deal with this issue. #EM203

Courageous, hard-working and kind. An icon on and off the ice. The Maple Leafs join the hockey world in mourning the loss of Ted Lindsay. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Having been a hockey fan all my life, it was always a pleasure to watch Jarome Iginla play. He made Hockey Night in Canada extra special, and what he did for the game of hockey was unmatched. Congrats on a great career, Iggy. #ThankYouIggy #EM203

@EM203JillMont I definitely agree, Jill! The internet definitely makes things easier for us and allows us to stay connected with others. I am looking forward to how the rest of the course plays out. #EM203Robin

The Internet is a unique learning environment that is universal, accessible and simple to use. EM203 progressively teaches several different ways to use Twitter for learning and education. #EM203Robin

@EM203MFerrari Hey Michael, great insight! I've always felt that the internet and technology are only thought of negatively, but this course has helped to show its positives too. It has especially helped to see how it benefits our learning. #EM203Robin

@EM203JFine Great thinking Julia! I completely agree with you with how multi-tasking and technology as a whole have impacted student's academic success. Looking forward to the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin

Throughout the first 3 classes I have learned about how we as students are learning in the digital age. I've been exposed to the affects that digital technology access, new learning theories and the tendency to multi-task have on student's academic success #EM203Robin

@EM203Shannon great points, Shannon! Technology has given us many new opportunities in terms of learning and is always making things easier as well! #EM203Robin

There is a lot that I have learned so far. One being the use of technology and how those are able to learn today with it. As well as the as this day and age those are able to multi-task for example watching tv & doing homework, or listening to music & going on a run. #EM203Robin

@EM203GNovachis Hey George, I couldn't agree with you more. It's crazy to see how the fundamentals of learning are always changing and are always providing us with new opportunities! #EM203Robin

So far, I’ve learned about how the fundamentals of education are changing. Specifically, I’ve learned that in the digital age we are more focused on experimental learning, which I think is great! #EM203Robin

Through the first few weeks of this course, I have learned quite a bit. I have learned some of the affects that technology has on people's learning and have also learned what multi-tasking can do as well #EM203Robin
