@CK12Foundation In the #EM203 course at Wilfrid Laurier University I identified the issue of re-opening of grade schools in the USA, and would like an opinion from an expert. Do you believe opening schools for students to attend is a plausible scenario in the coming school-year?

Ontario is still reporting new cases of COVID-19 globalnews.ca/news/7167517/o… Solution: follow social distancing guidelines to reduce the spread of COVID-19

Solution? One can easily reduce their addiction to social media and their phones in general to live a fuller and a better life. bustle.com/articles/14489…

Solution: Students need to brace and better prepare themselves for online learning, reopening may not be possible at the time due to the upward trend of COVID-19 across the United States. Some students may find this info graphic useful for e-learning.

Problem: The United States is looking to reopen whole school districts due to "terrible" student results and threatening to cut funding of districts refusing to open during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reopening can have catastrophic results. nypost.com/2020/07/10/tru…

Interesting, promoting locally produced goods is great for the economy! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Digital technology has drastically changed the way people learn; while we benefit from easy access to quality academic resources, we are also burdened with overstimulation- possibilities for multitasking online are endless and damaging! #EM203Robin

@EM203Kashif Learning using multi media it incorporates multiple learning theories. This can be useful when teaching in a classroom setting where you may have learners that learn in different ways, exposing them to text, visualizations and audio. It's very interesting.

The past few weeks we covered topics about the digital age and how we learn. One of the topics i learned was multi media, i discovered effective ways of learning and understanding new concepts through text and visual explanations. #EM203Robin

@EM203hamdan I agree Hamdan. Learning by doing has worked out for me as well, as I believe I learn a lot better when I am exposed to the situation. Learning how to do something by doing research and actually accomplishing that task can be super satisfying which in turn can be rewarding.

In EM203 we have learned many new concepts such as, learning by doing and learning in a digital age. this week i was given a task to do and i choose to solve a difficult Sudoku puzzle, it was easy to learn because there are so many information about it online. #EM203Robin

@em203_manavd Hey Manav. I agree that the internet helps a lot with spreading information and knowledge. A great example is using wikipedia to research topics you may not know about.

In my experience with first three weeks of EM203, I was able to understand the aspects of the Internet that makes it more fun to learn concepts, Understood different ways of teaching and learning and learnt a little more in-depth about learning #EM203Robin

@EM203RyanP Yes, I also believe EM203 has been helpful in introducing new ideas, like for me it was the 'learning by doing' for example doing internships. After researching further I learnt more about cognitive learning theory and how learners focus more on connections.

The initial weeks of EM203 presented us with many new concepts and ideas regarding learning skills and theories. Last week, I was tasked in researching how cognitivism can be implemented into learning. #EM203Robin

@EM203CengizS I agree that this course encourages well versed discussions between classmates. I have found it helpful in understanding how my fellow peers think about topics from a different perspective and reading their responses in the discussion posts

So far the past 3 classes have been a very good lesson of current digital learning and what methods are present or who the new medium is for. It has also done well to start discussion groups where people have been submitting their interesting points. #EM203Robin

These past 3 weeks in EM203 I have learnt a lot about how people learn and how to teach people, in particular researching about how students "learn by doing" and why it's a very important aspect when it comes to even certain university-related programs. #EM203Robin
