Completely agree with this. I believe that our internal state is a direct reflection of how we view the world - when we feel happy and confident within ourselves, we think optimistically and are therefore better equipped deal with hardships. Self-control is the key to success! 👏

@EM203Adeeba Hello Adeeba - I completely agree! As someone who is familiar with Twitter as a social media platform, these assignments have definitely helped further my understanding of the class content. I'm also excited to learn more about the use of technology as an educational tool!

@em203rmichael Hello Michael! To add, technology and social media are extremely prevalent in today's climate, so I think it's very beneficial that this class gives us a first-hand look at how to navigate Twitter, a major platform!

Within the first few weeks of EM203, I’ve gotten insight into a variety of different ideologies, as well as the influence of technology. The knowledge is really important in light of how technology is utilized today. #EM203Robin

@Em203Nardin Hi Nardin! I also found the first three weeks of this class to be very fun as the assignments are very hands-on and interactive. I also found it interesting as I learned more about my learning style. I look forward to talking more during the semester!

The first 3 weeks of classes have been really fun and informative! I have learned a lot about social media like Twitter, new terminology (connectivism for example), and unique styles of learning. I love how it is interactive. I am so excited for the rest of the class! #EM203Robin

@em203yasmeen Hi Yasmeen! Knitting a square seems difficult - I probably wouldn't excel in that 🤣. I tried learning to sing the verse of a song in German for last week's activity and had a fun time.

@EM203GrewalJ I feel that I've learned so much about my learning style through this course as well, which involves text and graphics as opposed to audio and videos. I'm excited to learn more about which learning style caters the most to me!

From the first few lessons of EM203, I have learned so much about my learning style and the approaches I take to solve various problems. I am excited to learn more about myself and the impact of digital literacy! #EM203Robin

The first lessons of EM203 opened my eyes to the various existing forms of learning, from audios, videos, graphics, to text. They allowed me to reflect on how each form caters to different individuals. For me, text and graphics help further my understanding of topics! #EM203Robin
