Eating disorders affect all races and ethnic groups. They are very complicated and anyone who is affected by one is usually in denial. Hearing the experiences of others through media can promote awareness and support for those struggling. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Effective solutions are needed to stop the growing obesity epidemic. Children should be properly educated to prevent obesity in future generations. Policies or programs should be implemented to help adult generations adopt a healthy lifestyle.

This site explains the prevalence of obesity in Canada. It provides important information regarding the impact obesity has on one’s health and ways to reduce your risk of obesity canada.ca/en/health-cana…

Our government’s new Roadmap to Wellness will improve the availability and quality of #mentalhealth and addictions supports and better connect Ontarians with services when and where they need them. #onpoli news.ontario.ca/mohltc/en/2020…

@em203_dylanf Really cool concept map. There's so many areas you can look at with sustainability. Maybe another idea would be to look at healthy lifestyles as well! #EM203problems

@Matthew76104359 Awesome concept map! Managing fitness is really important for so many health related reasons. One issue with fitness is people's general lifestyle in terms of sedentary behaviour, aside from their exercise routine! #EM203problems

@em203mlacasse Really great concept map! Physical inactivity is a big problem in today's society and a root cause of a lot of health conditions. One big issue is a lack of access to physical activity programs for people with disabilities! #EM203Problems

@EM203SupriyaS Great topic for your concept map, you covered a lot of great areas related to obesity. Another problem that I think you should consider adding is preventive measures. Our society is too focused on treating when we should be focused on preventing! #EM203problems

@em203bpeters Great concept map! Bullying really is a prominent issue in schools that needs to be addressed. A problem that you could address is the impact that bullying has on the child's home life and their family. #EM203problems

EM 203 has taught me innovative ways to utilize technology for learning purposes, different types of digital learning theories such as Behaviourism, the way information can be presented through media (audio, video, graphics, texts), and the term ‘digital literacy’. #EM203Robin

@EM203epeckham I enjoyed learning about how there are so many ways to both teach and learn a single topic. I also tried the sudoku for my new skill and found myself having to use various resources and methods to learn the task!

EM203 is a very interesting course. So far, we have talked about different styles of learning, and this week we focused on the three M’s: Multi-media, Multi-modal, Multi-tasking, and we learned a new skill! #HardSudoku #EM203Robin

@EmilyFo91788422 I like how you stated "when used effectively"! There are definitely right and wrong ways to use technology, especially for learning purposes. But I agree that when done right, technology can be very beneficial!

Learning about digital learning makes me realize the many influences and benefits of the internet when used effectively. I am definitely a #constructivistlearner #EM203Robin

@EM203hgraz I have also learnt about ways to use technology to my advantage when learning a new concept. It's crazy how much information technology gives us access to, and how many unique but effective ways information can be presented in the media!

@em203mlacasse I completely agree that technology enhances learning. I think it's great that technology provides us with access to educational resources that benefit everyone, no matter what type of learner you are!

@EM203sgraz Technology has definitely become a big part of our lives, so I agree that it helps to connect to a larger audience. I think students today are more engaged in the learning process when it involves technology!

The first 3 lessons have expanded my perspective on learning in the digital age, as well as the importance of incorporating it into the learning process. It has benefits such connecting to a bigger audience! Connectivism does this as it is associated with technology #EM203Robin
