A very interesting interview with Johns Hopkins Professor, Paul Ferraro, discussing how the human psyche might actually be one of our largest barriers when it comes to combatting climate change. Check it out! phys.org/news/2019-09-e…

@laurenbarnesz I'm inspired by all that you do to reduce your carbon footprint and lead a more sustainable life! What are some small changes that students can make in their lives to reduce their carbon footprint? #EM203

@LaurierGreen has some excellent initiatives to help reduce Laurier's carbon footprint! Do you have any suggestions of some changes that students can make in their own lives to reduce their carbon footprint? #EM203

#ClimateChange impacts #FoodProduction. #Agriculture needs to: 1) adapt crop growing practices to water scarcity/excess, 2) ‘decarbonize’ through #ClimateMitigation measures that reduce GHG emissions & enhance water availability. #WWDR 2020 bit.ly/wwdr2020

Regenerative agriculture can be a key tool for fighting climate change, but do we have the tools to measure the impact of individual farms? Read here: cfs.center/2UudG9U.

Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change—partly because it is already struggling to feed its fast-growing population econ.st/2UyAC89

Interesting perspective on how the potential mass death from COVID19 might help us live more intelligently and be better prepared to tackle climate change catastrophes.

@em203_dylanf Wow, what an informative infographic you have created! I really enjoyed reading your solutions, thanks for sharing Dylan :)

I have created an infographic to visualize solutions for sustainable policy development as suggested by this article: 2030spotlight.org/sites/default/… This infographic highlights the article's key points. Hopefully you will gain insights into some possible solutions! #SpreadTheWord

Reducing our emissions is essential to combatting climate change. Check out this infographic created by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) for some more details!

Check out this website from NASA on climate change. There's a lot of great information on this pressing issue: climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

I admire Greta's ability to not let threats stop her! Their desperation only shows that they're scared

@Em203_THoogaars Hey Thomas! I'm glad that this course has led you to multiple self reflections of your learning experience. It is important to evaluate our own learning so that we can become better!

The first few weeks have been interesting. It has led me to multiple self-reflections of my learning experiences throughout completion of the course content! I am a fan of a #connectivist approach to learning. I look forward to learning a new skill this week #EM203Robin

@em203_dylanf Me too Dylan! I have learned so much already and can't wait to see what else there is to learn about the digital age and its impact on society :)

I have loved my EM203 course so far! I really enjoyed exploring different learning theories, as well as, the various forms of digital learning! Can't wait for what's in store next 😀 #EM203Robin

@OnkarJ1 I agree that the digital age has changed the way we gather information! It is more readily available than ever, and people are able to learn about everything. We must also consider the negative impacts of unverified information on the internet!

In the first couple of lessons in EM203, I’ve learned the understanding on how Social Media has impacted our society today. The digital age has changed tremendously in a way to gather information. I also completed a activity to analyze my learning. #EM203Robin

@EM203JTait I enjoyed learning about that too! Distractions definitely have a big impact on learning. Learning about this is helpful in developing our own study habits as well

In EM203, we have evaluated our learning styles and took a deeper look into the impact of distractions as well as different styles of learning in terms of studying! Looking forward to dive into this deeper... #EM203Robin

@em203madikaiser I agree that social media allows us to do many things that we weren't able to before! Learning what is going on in the world is especially important as globalization increases and we are all impacted by each other.

So far in this course, I have learned the impact that social media has on all our lives. Social media platforms like Twitter allow us to communicate across time and space, learn what is going on in the world and express ourselves in ways we were not able to before. #EM203Robin
