Hi Emma! Great post! #EM203Robin

#EM203Robin These past three lessons have been extremely insightful, as topics deal with the current and future of our attention spans and learnings. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the course pans out!

@EM203rjobby Hi Ryan! It is so interesting how easy it is to transfer knowledge into developing solutions in a digital age.

Learning a lot in my lessons in EM203, but my biggest takeaways so far come from Module 2 - problem-solving in the digital age is all about co-creating solutions! Education is shifting from knowledge transfer to building solutions together using digital tools. #EM203Robin

@EM203JJohnson1 Hi Jada! I am glad to hear you are also enjoying the course. I know we will learn so much more and gain such a fresh perspective on many things.

Loving the first 3 lessons of EM203! Exploring who learners are and how we learn in the digital age has been eye-opening. The 3 M's—Multi-Media, Multi-Modal, and Multi-Tasking—gave me a fresh look at how tech shapes education. Can’t wait to dive deeper! #EM203Robin

@EM203OmarEB Hi Omar! I also think we take for granted how much access we have to things because of technology and how easy it is to learn. Of course there are downsides to technology but I think sometimes the positives are overlooked.

While learning in #EM203Robin I started thinking more about the impact of technologies on how we learn. Two of my thoughts are how amazing and underappreciated immediate access of knowledge is, and how destructive short form information can be to our attention span.

@em203edeblois Hi Emma! I also struggle a lot to multi-task which is so interesting considering our generation seems to be better at it than other generations.

I have found the first 3 lessons of this course very interesting, especially the portion of the most recent one focused on multi-tasking. Although digital natives are supposedly efficient multitaskers, I find it very difficult to multi-task personally. #EM203Robin

@EM203AALTOSAAR Hi Abigail, I am so happy to hear that you are also enjoying what we learn in tis class. I look forward to seeing what more we end up learning.

I have really enjoyed learning about the digital age in this course. I have learned about the different kinds of media, how people that grew up in the digital era are good at multi tasking and the different learning theories. I have really enjoyed this course so far. #EM203Robin
