Homelessness is usually depicted as the laziness of individuals where in fact it is through systemic flaws that make them more susceptible to poverty. There are better ways to help these individuals and it could be through giving them job opportunities. ted.com/talks/richard_…

Ball game. Raps win!

It’s amazing to have a platform like twitter to share important information like this. You could be helping someone in the future just by sharing this! #EM203Robin

@Em203Lao Hey Samantha, the internet has helped me in a variety of ways. Since it is so readily available, I've been able to learn a vast amount of information at my own time and leisure. Overall, I feel that the internet has made learning simpler and more impactful!

@EM203AndrewG I agree! It’s been so interesting learning about the different types of learning and how the internet has significantly impacted our lives

So far in EM203, I've learned how the internet has influenced the way of how people learn new things and the differing types of multi-media. It was interesting to learn about constructivism as I have noticed that being actively engaged helps me learn. #EM203Robin

@EM203BaileeK It’s interesting how technology has provided us with so many different ways to learn. Doing the activity, I didn’t realize how multi-tasking was so inhibiting to learning.

EM203 has taught me about the approaches to learning & which methods are most useful for certain situations & how technology enhances learning. It has also been shown that you can mix methods together & how multi-tasking may not be as effective as previously thought #EM203Robin

@EM203JHo I agree with you! Everyone has a different learning style and the digital age has helped discover what works for every individual

This week's lesson has taught me how the digital age has changed the way students are learning. One popular learning method includes learning by doing, where you develop motor skills through a hands-on approach. #EM203Robin

@em203lguroodita Great point Latika! I agree that learning is much easier through the Internet’s accessibility. How has the Internet helped you learn?

Technology, digital platforms & the internet have created new opportunities for society to learn & share information in a digital age. This promotes active learning as it allows information to be shared through variety of modes such as graphics, videos and text. #EM203Robin

@GoelSabrina Hey Sabrina, digital platforms have helped me in both school and social setting. The internet has been able to provide me with information through its availability. How has technology made learning easier for you?

@Em203Lao Hey Samantha. I agree that digital platforms are an efficient and powerful way to learn and share knowledge. Personally, I believe technology has made my life and learning substantially easier. How have digital platforms impacted you?

Today’s digital society has created an influential and powerful impact on an individual’s ability to actively learn and share information. Through the internet and a variety of digital platforms, individuals can easily access information anywhere and anytime. #EMRobin203
