Addressing homelessness – a growing issue in our communities. It's more than lack of shelter; it's about social inequality, mental health, and dignity. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Let's find solutions together. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

Check out the infographic I made on the pressing issue of homelessness in our world. #EM203Problem

I would love to see if someone can retweet this post!

#EM203Robin #EM203problem The problem that I have identified is social media addiction. Here is a very compelling article about Dr. Anna Lembke's novel "Dopamine Nation" (2021). Lembke discusses how a social media is affecting through with overabundance npr.org/sections/healt…

Important reminder for midterm season #EM203Robin

I have never really thought about how I was learning. Reading how people learn really put into perspective how much information I am consuming on a day-to-day basis and how I react to the information. So cool! #EM203Robin

The course EM203 has taught me what it means to learn and be a learner in a digital age, especially as a digital native. The impact technology has on society has been one of the topics thus far. Overall, technology continues to be influential to its users and society #EM203Robin

@EM203VeronicaD I definitely agree with you! But I always wonder if the advantages of technology will constantly outweigh the disadvantages? Or will we sooner or later regret how influential we allowed it to be?

@em203anto I totally second you on that!! Multi-media helps deepen my understanding of complicated concepts :)

I’ve really enjoyed Em203 so far! Multi-media has been my favourite learning style so far because it is what I personally use to help me understand better. Also learned how to tango this week! #EM203Robin

@EM203vmacchiusi Honestly, props to you for giving knitting a shot. Congrats on learning to solve sudoku, I'm still working on it :)

📚 Just finished the first 3 lessons of EM203 at Laurier: My learning so far: 1️⃣ Explored technologies impacts on learning for Gen Z 2️⃣ Dived into Constructivism theory 3️⃣ Tried knitting (a failed attempt😅) but aced sudoku using YouTube Excited for more! 🧩📖 #EM203Robin

@mene7950 I also found the first three weeks so interesting! It made me think about how different learning in the past was and how different it will be in the future!!

@_KaranGoel Congrats on learning how to solve sudoku puzzles! How long did it take you?

In the first few weeks of EM203 I learned about the media and how it affects us on a day to day basis. I also learned about the benefits of the internet which made me appreciate it more. Alongside all this, I solved sudoku for the first time. #EM203Robin

I must admit although I am a math and science person, I am enjoying learning the EM203 course. Learning about multi-media, multi-tasking, and the way we use them daily is so interesting! #EM203Robin
