EM203

The rise of social media has led to poor self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. The ability to construct an image of oneself, while often not a true representation of one’s life, has allowed for poor self-evaluation and feelings of insatisfaction. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

Access to clean water in Flint, Michigan and the health problems this has caused due to high lead levels @EM203andrewcox #EM203Problems

@EM203AdamB Great concept map! Living a healthy lifestyle has many aspects to it. As far as nutrition goes, it is difficult for people to gain the proper nutrients they need. Larger systematic issues, such as poverty, will create barriers in accessing these items. #EM203problems

@EM203AndrewH Nice work on your concept map! Mental health is a complex issue that has many barriers in achieving support. Whether this is due to stigma, or a lack of affordable resources, it is a social issue that needs to be further addressed. #EM203problems

@EM203OliviaM Hi Olivia! I’m glad you posted out how surplus of technological resources we are immersed with! It is easy to get overwhelmed with the varying degree of technological resources we have, but luckily we have classes like EM203 to help educate us!

So far I have enjoyed learning about how learners have adapted to the digital age, the different approaches to teaching/learning in such an age and the multi-media, multi-modal and multi-tasking methods that we now use to navigate this surplus of digital resources #EM203Robin

@Em203Moses Hello Moses! It’s interesting how much there is to learn about technology and education! I did not expect to learn so much about how I learn, and all the various techniques this quick! Hope you enjoy the rest of the course!

EM203 has shown me a deep inside look in the use of technology in today's learning field. I can't wait to learn more about the innovative approaches to education through this course! #EM203Robin

@em203pbhangu Hi there! I have never thought back to how often I use audio and video as part of my learning experience, but it has helped me throughout my education! In times when I simply cannot grasp a concept I’ve read about, I turn to online videos to help me figure it out!

@HopeEM203 Hi Hope! The new emphasis on digital learning can be beneficial for visual learners, but also with new multi media platforms we can address various forms of learning! From text, to images, to videos, technology can help give an equal learning opportunity to all types of learners

There is an emphasis on a new wave of digital literacy that is impacting the way we learn! Using non-traditional modes of learning is beneficial to more visual learners, but the combination of materials can be somewhat confusing. #EM203Robin

@Em203Khalid Hi Abdullah! Isn’t it interesting to have a theoretical background to understand how our learning styles have shifted? I too think that technology can be used to create a more inclusive environment in a classroom! Technology has been a game changer for accessibility issues!

In the first few weeks of EM203, I have enjoyed learning about the the newer learning theories and how they compare in effectiveness compared to traditional theories. We have advanced to allow inclusiveness in learning to many more individuals due to the options! #EM203Robin

So far EM203 has been an engaging learning experience! As my first education course i am excited to learn more theories and applications of new information! #EM203Robin
