@clinpsyrob Hi there Dr. O'Flaherty! I'm a Canadian student doing a report on men's mental health and stumbled across your profile. I was wondering if you have any quick thoughts on how men can keep on top of their mental health during the pandemic. Thanks!

@zacseidler Hi there Dr. Seidler! I'm a Canadian student doing a report on men's mental health and stumbled across your profile. I was wondering if you have any quick thoughts on how men can keep on top of their mental health during these strange times. Thanks!

Looking over 9 health risks for men and boys, this graphic highlights some ways to look out for either your own health, or the health of those around you.

ca.movember.com/mens-health/ge… As many of you probably know in this relevant month, The Movember Foundation has done wonders for men's mental health. Their website has resources and support tools for men around the world for everything from suicide prevention to parenting as a father.

We pay tribute to all the heroes who served and sacrificed to protect our freedom. 1/ Captain Bob Davidson leads Turk Broda, Sweeney Schriner and the rest of the Leafs in their military training. #LestWeForget

ontheline.org.au/mental-health-… Sometimes men can turn to destructive coping methods such as drug abuse in a fight or flight response. It is important that we normalize healthier coping methods for men to avoid reliance on harmful alternatives. #EM203Research

@EM203tnguyen Hi Tracy! Love the concept map. One problem within photography is a relation between price and quality and if it is possible for advancement within photography while using beginner lenses #em203problems

@julia_EM203 Hi Julia! I think a problem you could deep dive into is the relation of stress from school/work on cardiovascular health and coping strategies #em203problems

@EM203CPorco Hey Cassidy! I really enjoyed your concept map. One problem I feel you could dive into is a lack of human connections in online learning vs in person #em203problems

@EM203skendellen Hi Sarah! I think you did a great job on your concept map. One issue I think you could talk about is the derived demand that fuels deforestation from our consumer habits such as the use of palm oil in foods #em203problems

@CraigEm203 Far too many people feel their ability to multi-task is a good thing when in reality it is far less productive than focusing on one specific task. That being said, it's definitely getting harder and harder to avoid distractions in an online environment.

So far in EM203 I have learned various skills that I can apply to my life as well as many theories. One thing that I have taken away from the course so far is how important it is to focus on one task rather then multi-tasking in the digital age. #EM203Robin

@EM203eschaefer Good point on highlighting both the positives and negatives that come from online learning. It is easy to show bias if you prefer online learning to traditional, but there are certain aspects of traditional learning that are missing in digital methods.

@EM203Bashar It's amazing to think about how much both schools and workplaces have benefitted from the collaborative tools that we use every day. Everything from Slack and Google Docs to Shared Calendars and Zoom has made collaboration incredibly easy

This course introduces a variety of angles in how learning in the digital age by the use of technology has changed the way we learn. One feature that I relate with is the way we have moved from individual to a more collaborative learning style. eg. Google Docs #EM203Robin

@em203ilyasf Hi there! As we are the first generation to grow up with full access to a wide range of technology from a young age, it is interesting to see how it is slowly being integrated into every aspect of learning. Interesting to see where it expands to in the future.

#em203robin The first few lessons have been very enjoyable! I learned about technologies in the digital world and how we basically use technology for everything that we are trying to learn as well such as multi-media, online resources, books, creating comics using pixton.

@EM203ImanRosta Hi Iman! I think it is going to be incredibly interesting to see how different schools/districts/countries implement tech and the results as to how it affects student performance across.

Bate’s Theories of Learning for a Digital Age, has helped me understand that learning is just as efficient beyond the classroom. As technology evolves, I am curious to see how different aspects of the classroom will be implemented into online learning #EM203Robin

So far in my first three weeks of EM203, what has stuck with me the most was the Connectivism learning theory. I'm always trying to push myself to learn new things, so reading about how we learn provided me with a new outlook on the process of actually doing so. #EM203
