@wrdsb how will classrooms be moving away from standardized testing to honing in more on life skills like collaboration, creativity, communication, and problem-solving? At what age will students start to incorporate AI learning?

@CTVKitchener What if anything is being done about the decline in math scores from the EQAO post-pandemic? theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Over the semester, I have explored the issue of people relying on social media to self-diagnose their mental health symptoms. I am excited to share my final findings & suggested solutions. A thread:🧵

What an insightful article on the fairness of standardized testing and the disparities among students who are advantaged and disadvantaged by this system #EM203Research ulethbridge.ca/teachingcentre…

@EM203cbuganan I'm glad you're enjoying your time in the course as much as I am Chloe! I also agree how eye opening the range of topics this course teaches us.

Hi Allison, your mind map on access to education looks great! A key issue relevant to educational access is the lack of infrastructure and resources in marginalized communities, which may be something interesting to focus on @EM203AWeiner #EM203problems

Hey Mackenzie, I enjoyed your mind map on wildfire causes & effects. A trend I've seen recently with the Canadian fires is that there's a lot of political influence with fire rescue and climate change incentives so this might be something to look into! @smschuler06 #EM203problems

Hey Ciarra! I was impressed by your mind map on mental health. A new trend I've seen with social media, especially TikTok, are many younger generation users trying to self-diagnose mental health issues. #EM203problems @EM203CCollison

I enjoyed learning about multi-modal media. I personally prefer visual and interactive modes when learning a new task or concept. #EM203Robin

I didn't realize the influence that multimedia has not just based on the information that is being provided but by the way it is delivered could complete change the way that the topic is presented! #EM203Robin

@EM203EWing So interesting to understand the impact of the internet on learning - the more personalized teaching approach it provides to individuals and the multiple ways in which learning can be delivered.

The first 3 classes have shown me how much the internet has changed how we learn, what method of teaching should be used based on the person and the task, as well as the different ways that learning can take place and be delivered. It has all been very informative! #EM203Robin

@EM203RPereira EM203 has been a great experience for me as well! It's interesting learning about the importance of digital learning in our generation. The exploration of connectivism really highlighted how networks and connections play a vital role in the learning process.

#EM203Robin I have appreciated my experience with Em203 thus far. The course has been captivating as it provided insights into the significance of digital learning in today's generation. The exploration of connectivism has emphasized the role of networks/connections in learning.

@EM203HarshanC I also feel that I'm gaining valuable insights into learning approaches and technology!

The first three lessons of EM203 really opened my mind to the changing landscape of education, driven by the increasing influence of technology. I also gained a better understanding of the topics covered as well as the purpose behind the Twitter challenge. #em203Robin

@em203ddoshi Same here! Visual and interactive modes add that extra level of engagement and make grasping new concepts a breeze. It's amazing how these modes enhance understanding and make learning enjoyable.

@EM203EthanChan Couldn't agree more! I'm continuing to learn about the impacts of multimedia and its impacts on relaying information.

Having a fantastic time in EM203! 🎓 Learning about the benefits of experiential learning + realizing how multi-tasking impacts memory & focus has been eye-opening. Excited to apply these insights in my academic journey and beyond! #EM203Robin
