The problem I have identified is the issue of climate change. Specifically, I will be researching textile waste and how it affects the world. Textile waste and fast fashion is the second-largest polluter in the world.

In order to reduce plastic water bottles polluting our oceans, @adidas is recycling plastic beach waste into shoes! #EM203research

Textile waste is one of the top contributors to pollution. North Americans send 9.5 tonnes of clothing to landfills each year. This could be prevented with recycling. advancedwastesolutions.ca/dressing-the-p… #EM203 #EM203problem

In Canada, we are lucky to have access to clean drinking water. Therefore, it is difficult to believe that 1 in 3 people around the world do not have the same resources. #EM203

Amazing to see women continuing to make significant progressions in society. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@EM203nzelinski The foods we put into our bodies impacts our health (both physical and mental) drastically. #EM203problems

@SamanShafiq6 The fact that global leaders deny climate change allows for global warming to continue being a serious issue. #EM203problems

@Em203Ved Hi Ved, I totally agree the activities that have been provided in this course have been extremely engaging and interesting. My favourite has definitely been learning a new task.

@ShayleneLangil1 Hi Shaylene, I completely agree that it has been interesting learning about the digital world and how it relates to our everyday lives!

The past 3 weeks have been very interesting, especially in understanding learning in a digital world and information retention as a result of multi-tasking! Looking forward to future lessons! #EM203Robin

@em203edenblack Hi Eden, since I did not get to explore Connectivism, it is so interesting to learn from you what it is about. It is so interesting to see that there are an abundance of learning styles that are used in the classroom, to appeal to a wide range of students.

@em203karliealt Through this course, I have also expanded my knowledge on Learning by Doing! We use learning by doing in classrooms settings all the time through case studies and labs. Thank you for sharing!

Throughout the first three weeks of EM203, I have expanded my knowledge on Learning by Doing and have discovered the many ways in which it can be implemented in the teaching styles of today. #EM203Robin

@Em203Meagan Hi Meagan! Thank you for sharing. I relate to the idea that technology plays a large role in education. In classrooms, we all use laptops as a note-taking device instead of paper and pen. For so many people, including myself, it is so helpful and efficient.

During the first three classes, I've learned a lot about the different techniques used to teach and what one of those relates to me the most. Also, that technology can play a big role in education and be beneficial in most ways! #EM203Robin

The past 3 weeks has been an extremely educational experience. I have enjoyed learning about Learning by Doing. The main goal of this learning style is to have students learn in an unstructured way as they get to have hands on experiences. Can't wait to keep learning! #EM203Robin
