It is estimated that 29 million metric tonnes of plastic will enter the ocean in 2040. Plastics can't decompose, thus, they stick around in our oceans forever. Animals then interact with this plastic, causing severe damage to their health and ecosystem. #Em203robin #EM203problem

Hi @Macomabalthica, I have a couple questions I was hoping to get an expert’s perspective on: 1)What are the main ways plastics enter oceans? 2)Are there any environmentally friendly ways to discard plastics long-term, or should we shift to using other materials? Thank you!!

Here is an article explaining the effects of climate change: nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

"The Cloud of Sea is designed to hook onto the boat using ropes and contains a rotating, helix-shaped internal filter that captures microplastics from the water."

The following link relates to the issue I have outlined of micro plastics in the ocean: education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/micro…

Truly a philosophical genius. Reminds me of another popular saying, "it is what it is" - unknown.

@EM203aKhandke the problem that I highlighted in my concept map was the environmental issues in the ocean right now. One being the proliferation of micro plastics in our oceans. #em203problems

@EM203sgodse the problem that I highlighted in my concept map was the environmental issues in the ocean right now. One being overfishing. #em203problems

Hey, @EM203AndrewL740 A problem related to your concept map about obesity is: A lack of education about what makes foods healthy and what makes foods unhealthy #em203problems

I learned an incredible amount of information in the first three weeks of class. One specific aspect I learned more about is the learning theory, connectivism. I also learned how to solve sudoku puzzles. #EM203Robin

@em203brandon Connectivism sounds very interesting! I am going to look into it on my own time. I can see how using online networks would be very effective and important for learning for students.

After the first three lessons of EM203, a new concept that stood out to me is the learning theory called connectivism. This learning theory puts an emphasis on online networks, such as a discussion board. I'm looking forward to learning more throughout the semester! #EM203Robin

@Em203CWong The topic of perception has always intrigued me. Such a nuanced and complex topic that is very important to be conscious of.

The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been a blast. I've learned about different learning methods and theories on how people learn. I also most recently learned about the different modes of perception and how they pair best to support learning. #EM203Robin

@EM203aKhandke I for sure agree! What learning style did you study? Mine was learning by doing.

The first few weeks of EM203 have been rather enjoyable and relaxed. I have always been curious about my learning styles and habits and want to learn more. #EM203Robin

@EM203sgodse Learning sudoku puzzles was definitely a lot of fun! Lots of trial and error haha.

@EM203HAli Great stuff, Halima! I too found the various learning types quite eye opening. I never thought about it in that way before.

The first 3 lessons of EM203 have introduced me to various learning types and have exposed me to media and learning in the 21st century. I also finally learned how to solve a sudoku puzzle. #EM203Robin

Throughout my first 3 weeks in #EM203Robin, I've learned about the importance of learning by doing as a learning theory, how technology and the digital age impact the way we learn, and how to navigate Twitter!
