Empowering female students through digital literacy! Camara Education Ethiopia has been collaborating with the British Council in Ethiopia on a project involving six secondary schools in the Afar region and fourteen in Amhara. Both areas are in northern Ethiopia and were impacted by the recent conflict there. @BritishCouncil #Afar #Amhara ethiopia.britishcouncil.org/programmes/edu…

The digitruck initiative was built on the understanding that digital literacy needed to reach remote, underserved communities. These mobile classrooms are fully powered by solar energy & give youth the opportunity to get digital skills training. bit.ly/3DhGM29

@valeborsotti Hey there! How would you describe the current state of the digital divide in your area of expertise, and what strategies do you believe can be implemented to bridge this gap effectively?

The digital divide now is no longer just about who’s online and offline. It’s now about who is just consuming information, and who is an active participant in a digital society. gdip.ngo/3KfIIvC

I've come across this interesting article about deepfakes within the media. It's scary how easily manipulated content can deceive & harm people. We must stay vigilant & promote digital literacy to protect ourselves and society. #EM203robin #EM203research forbes.com/sites/robtoews…

Digital inclusion aims to bridge the digital divide by ensuring all individuals and communities have equal access to and can effectively use digital technologies!

While the digital divide has been excluding those economically disadvantaged and the elderly for years, it definitely became more prominent during the pandemic. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…

There’s no other social media platform with the comedy level of Twitter. And if there is, let me know, I’ll buy it.

Looking forward to it!! #EM203Robin

@EM203nmalik Hi Namra, I also particularly enjoyed the lesson on learning theories! My parents were both teachers so I've grown up surrounded by people who are passionate about education, and its nice to get a deeper understanding about how education can 'come to life'.

@Em203Mbeck4560 That's great to hear! I thought behaviourism was interesting too, especially how it emphasizes observable behaviours rather than subjective mental processes. Looking forward to upcoming weeks as well!

Week three already! Over the past few weeks, I found behaviourism to be interesting. this theory is based on the idea that behaviours are acquired through conditioning. Excited to learn more! #EM203Robin

@EM203namos I thought the conversations have been really insightful too! With the amount of information and media available now, I'd say it's essential to explore how different forms of media can be utilized to enhance our learning for all aspects of our life!

Throughout the first three weeks of the course #EM203Robin we have considered the implications of learning in a "digital age". There has been an insightful conversation surrounding various learning theories as well as multi-media, multi-modal and multi-tasking strategies.

@EM203CMasciarel I agree Camryn! I definitely think understanding and utilizing various teaching methods can significantly impact the effectiveness of instruction and enhance the learning experience.

I have really enjoyed the first three weeks of EM203, especially exploring the different types of teaching methods! Having spent the first 1.5 years at Laurier fully online, I also appreciated learning about the importance and implications of the 3M’s. 🙂 #EM203Robin

@EM203CynthujaH That's great to hear Cynthuja! Exploring different learning theories can definitely provide a solid foundation for understanding how individuals acquire knowledge and skills in all aspects of their life.

So far, I have been really enjoying the course. I have learned a lot about the different learning theories and have been able to get familiar with the twitter platform! I also got to learn to do sudoku this week and really enjoyed that! #EM203Robin

@EM203raeesareza Hey Raeesa, that's great! Exploring different methods of learning and understanding how we learn in a digital age can be really enlightening. I also attempted a Sudoku puzzle and had a lot of fun!

So far, I’m enjoying learning about methods of learning and how we learn in a digital age. I just attempted to do a difficult Sudoku which was challenging but fun! #EM203Robin

@EM203SNegi That's great to hear! I think connectivism can be really interesting, especially in the context of learning and tech, as it emphasizes the importance of making connections between different ideas, resources and people. Excited for more as well!

The first three weeks of the EM203 course have been very interesting. I enjoyed learning about connectivism and the approach everyone had towards new tasks that they have not completed before. Excited to learn more in this course! #EM203Robin

During the first few weeks of EM203, I've learned more about tech advances and learning theories. They've been really engaging and interactive, looking forward to upcoming lessons! #EM203Robin
