Youth health status in Canada is on the decline. Not just physically but emotionally and psychologically/mentally as well.

This picture represents a few ways in which we can learn to improve our mental health and work towards a solution.

canada.ca/en/public-heal… This website shows the health status of Canadians as of 2016. It addresses the different types of health I addressed in my infographic including physical, mental and emotional.

A quote by Steven Aitchison relating to mental health is "emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it's first brought out into the open. #em203Robin #EM203Research

So far I have enjoyed learning about various different ways of learning, and what tasks are best suited to those learning styles. I have also enjoyed testing my multi-tasking skills. #EM203Robin

@Em203Waller I also learned about constructivism. This form of learning is particularly interesting as the teacher acts more as a guide rather than just giving students all of the information. I like how this learning style allows people come to their own conclusions.

@EM203ELeBlanc I noticed a predominant theme within your map was a lack of access to resources or lack of knowledge. Whether it was lack of education or lack of proper exercise, many problems revolved around this lack of resources for individuals. #EM203problems

@rensim_em203 That’s so cool that you chose to learn the song in German! It’s crazy that when you learn a new task we can take so many approaches to find which way best works for us!

@EM203Sanna It has been amazing to look at the different ways to learn! Personally I learn best by doing however there were multiple ways to learn that I had never even thought of! I’m also thoroughly excited to see the development of this course!

Thus far EM203 has taught me there are many different styles/ways individuals can learn. Whether you learn best by doing, through straight facts or group discussions. I'm excited to see how technology & the effects of the 21st century’s digital learning has influenced us today.

@EM203OliviaM I think you bring up a really good point! Our generation is so unique in the sense that we are living in a time where technology is consistently evolving. Courses like EM203 are prime examples of how classes have developed within our generation.

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

@FalconerTalia This is such an intersting point. I never thought about how by doing a course such as this, we are reducing our paper waste. We also learn to collaborate in such a unique way that not many other courses allow!

@EM203ELeBlanc The multitasking skills were extremely interesting! It really helps to see how we go about completing these tasks as we all learn and complete tasks differently!

In #EM203Robin, so far I have learned about the different learning theories, and specifically about constructivism. I also learned about how everyone learns differently and there are a multitude of ways in which people best learn including audio, visual and interactive.
