Here are some facts about eating disorders. It’s so important to become aware of the causes and signs of disordered eating.

@kjustich11 this is such an interesting point to think about. it’s crazy the amount of pressure women are under to conform to a specific beauty standard. the cycle just continues when those with an audience strive to meet those standards.

crazy to think that the very people we look at as setting these standards are victims of them as well. I've learned so much from the series thus far and hope that you do too ❤️

I launched a @yahoolife franchise called "It Figures" — bringing you unfiltered conversations with celebrities, influencers and experts about body image and the struggles that we all encounter in the face of diet culture & beauty standards

@SenTedCruz So glad this issue is being brought to light. As a father of young girls, have you noticed first-hand the mental impacts that unrealistic beauty standards have on the youth?

Frances Haugen confirmed today what Facebook would not last week: that the company’s research shows Instagram makes body image issues worse for teen girls and is linked to suicidal ideation in British and American users – and the platform did nothing. This is deeply disturbing.

Stigma very negatively impacts individuals battling mental illness, making it hard to get the help they need and can result in isolation, among many other factors. These two images represent the cycle of stigma and what can be done to decrease it.

Social media has amplified self esteem issues among young people, ultimately affecting their health. #EM203Research globalnews.ca/news/8506592/s…

@EM203WadeGenter One problem is the lack of regulations to limit the runoff pollution from farms that is causing the algae blooms. The negative consequences of algae blooms can be prevented if this problem is addressed. #EM203problems

@EM203Mfigueired The main problem surrounding homelessness is the lack of affordable housing supplied in Canada. In order to target this problem, there must be an adequate investment in affordable housing. #EM203problems

@EM203SenadK One problem regarding mental health issues is the lack of funding for mental health care. Many Canadians with mental disorders do not have access to the treatment they need. #EM203problems

@EM203ericam Hey Erica! It has been very intriguing to explore the different learning styles and get a deeper understanding about the technological advances that have been made for us to learn through an online approach, rather than solely just in the classroom. Thanks for sharing😊

@em203ekim Hi Erika! I think it’s great to see that the various learning types are being discussed, rather than assuming that all people operate the same way. I also have found that I have incorporated what we have learned into my daily life!

The first three classes of EM203 has been really relevant to my current daily activities, especially reading about different learning theories. I’ve been able to analyze the way I’ve constantly been taught, and the other learning options that may be more effective.#EM203Robin

@EM203mromeo Hi Maia! I agree that it is essential for education to keep up with the constantly changing technology. I’m looking forward to see how more classes integrate the internet into their course work.

The initial lessons in EM203 were centred on learners in the Digital Age. Learning has been impacted by the internet, and education must follow along with the innovations. Lesson 2 focussed on how we can apply and use various learning theories. #EM203Robin

@EM203jadeS Hi Jade! I completely agree. When thinking about how sparingly technology was used during high school and elementary school, it is crazy to see how far education has progressed!

@EM203cdavidson Hi Chloe! It’s very intriguing to learn about the different methods of learning and their best applications! I find that I have incorporated this new knowledge into my daily routine while in school.

The first few weeks of this course have taught me that there are many different ways in which we can learn and that not everyone has the same learning style. It was interesting to see how much technology has evolved and the many ways it impacts how we learn. #EM203Robin

@EM203jcino Hi Julia! I also found that I discovered my personal learning style during this course. It’s so true that students/teachers are much more connected with the integration of different online platforms.

Throughout the first three weeks of EM203, I have learned a lot about the different approaches to learning and which way works best for me. Also, how technology has a huge impact on education and allows us to collaborate and communicate our creative ideas! #EM203Robin

After the first 3 weeks of EM203, I am really enjoying the course! I found it interesting to learn about the different learning styles as well as exploring the ways in which the internet has transformed education. #EM203Robin
