@hubermanlab What are the best methods these education systems can use to limit distractions and developmental issues caused by the implementation of social platforms to aid learning?

Hello Dr. Huberman, Can you please provide some insight on how a student's brain is impacted by education systems that utilize social platforms to reinforce/accelerate? #EM203 @hubermanlab

This is an image that shows different barriers to learning.

This infographic described the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the use of social platforms in the learning of students. The disadvantages seemingly outweigh the advantages.

The attached link discusses barriers to student learning and ways to overcome them: educationadvanced.com/resources/blog…

This is an example of a tweet that interests me. This tweet relates to my identified problem of digital platforms being echo chambers for useless or brain-rotting material. This tweet does not fit that category as it is more motivational/inspirational. #EM203Robin

Learning in a digital age means taking a class about learning in 280 characters or less. Definitely teaches me that learning shouldn't be confined to textbooks and lessons! #EM203Robin

@EM203ABOW Agreed! The theories and topics that have been taught in the first three lessons are super interesting. It is cool to see how the digital age is warping the way people learn nowadays.

The first 3 classes of EM203 has showcased some many thought provoking topics. From evolving thoeries and multi-modal envvironments, it is evident how the digital age is transforming learning . I'm excited to delve deeper into more subjects over the coming weeks. #EM203Robin

@EM203craeside Totally agree Cam! Learning has changed so much over the past two decades thanks to technology and social media. It's interesting to learn about it in this course.

The first few weeks of classes of EM203 have been very interesting and knowledgeable. It has been very interesting getting to learn about how the digital age has transformed learners given the access to various digital resources and evolving theories. #EM203Robin

@EM203Jason Good point Jason! It is hard not to multitask nowadays but by keeping this in mind we can optimize the way we do work!

#EM203Robin has been an interesting course so far! With easy access to digital resources it allows us to multitask. I always thought it makes us more efficient but I have learned from the lessons that it makes us more distracted and not as efficient.

@SanyaM0203 Great insight Sanya! I also found this interesting. Understanding things like this can help us a lot as students!

An interesting fact I've learnt in #EM203Robin is that Moreno and Mayer's research (2007) shows that learning is more effective when verbal information is presented audibly and non-verbal information visually, aligning with our cognitive processing channels.

@em203aaidaj Well said Aaida! I totally agree. More courses should look to break away from traditional forms of teaching.

Currently loving EM203! The first three weeks of this course have shown me the importance of incorporating engaging and interactive tasks in the learning process to cater to all types of learning styles. Looking forward to the coming lessons #EM203Robin
