Hi @WhySharksMatter - I'm doing a university project on plastic pollution & its effects on marine ecosystems. What are some effective solutions to help combat this issue?

Hi @abbyeleyele - I'm doing a university project on plastic pollution & its effects on marine ecosystems. I'd love to hear more about your techniques to monitor aquatic pollution!

Hi @BiologyMarine - I'm doing a university project on plastic pollution & its effects on marine ecosystems. What do you think is the best solution to combat this issue?

Check out my presentation about the plastic pollution crisis and my proposed solution to reduce plastic waste in our oceans! docs.google.com/presentation/d…

A simple yet impactful solution to help reduce pollution in our oceans is to participate in community clean ups.

This innovative solution removes plastic waste from marinas in Ontario. barrie.ctvnews.ca/floating-trash…

The US and UK produce more plastic waste per person than any other major countries, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Choose reusable. Choose secondhand. Borrow and share. Repair. It’s time to rethink the way we consume. 🌎🌱 theguardian.com/environment/20…

A very creative solution! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

The National Geographic article informs readers about the impact of plastic pollution and recent developments enacted by many governments to curb single-use packaging. #EM203Robin #EM203Research #close" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nationalgeographic.com/environment/20…

Hi @EM203acook, your concept map was very interesting! A problem you could consider is the media's effect on body image and eating disorders. #EM203problems

Hey @ElizabethEM203, your concept map is very detailed and covers many topics! In regards to substance abuse, the harmful effects of cigarettes on an individual's mind and body can be an interesting topic to research! #EM203problems

Hey @Sorr6270_Em203, great concept map! The melting of ice sheets in Antarctica is a serious environmental issue, one that ties into one of the points in your map, the rising of sea levels. #EM203problems

@DYunesEm203 Great concept map! Deforestation causes a lot of environmental impacts such as climate change and soil erosions. I believe that deforestation impacts the environment the most which results in the effects of humans, causing a domino effect. #EM203problems

@ColeHayward1 Hey Cole, I also found constructivism very interesting! Being aware of this theory, do you find yourself applying this method when learning new concepts and information?

@EM203_kgroh Hey Karlie, the lesson about the 3 M's was definitely eye-opening. What stood out to you about this lesson?

@EM203EMaclean I agree, Emma! Digital literacy definitely plays an important role in one's learning, especially during the present times. When social distancing and online classrooms become the new norm, being able to effectively use digital resources becomes very beneficial.

so far in #em203Robin I have learnt how the importance of navigating the digital world and developing digital literacy positively effects ones learning

@ChalmersEm203 I agree! Especially in our current situation, where we are learning remotely, these topics have definitely shed new light on how we can improve the way we learn information.

I have enjoyed the first lessons of EM203! Learning about the ways technology has evolved and how it keeps evolving when it comes to education has been very eye opening. Given how we are learning this school year makes these topics relatable and helps me stay engaged #EM203Robin

@EM203eboyle Great point, Emma! Which learning theory do you find yourself using most often in the digital age?

We are learning in the digital age, which allows us to access any information through a simple search! These past weeks, I have learned the multiple theories for learning online and the modes of accessing & comprehending information (3M's). #EM203Robin

In the past three weeks, I have gained a better understanding of various learning theories. More specifically, constructivism is an interesting learning approach in which a majority of the teaching process is self-directed. #EM203Robin
