Hi @NAMICommunicate I loved your "Mental Health is a Balancing Act" blog post! I am conducting research on how work-life balance affects our mental health and was wondering what your take on the issue is? #EM203Robin

Hi @Active_Minds I love the mental health resources that you offer online! I'm researching how work from home has impacted work-life balance and therefore mental health and was wondering if you have any resources on this topic? #em203robin

Here is a really interesting article from Forbes about how the pandemic has made work-life balance more difficult and how this has impacted mental health forbes.com/sites/ashleyst… #Em203Robin

SNL's Cecily Strong’s “Goober” was a powerful watch. Bravo. Nearly one in four women in the US will have an abortion by age 45. Keeping them safe, legal, and having the conversation about abortion without stigma, is imperative. #snl #CECILYSTRONG #important

Contrary to pre-pandemic beliefs about work from home, since transitioning to a remote working environment, employees have actually been working more which is negatively affecting work-life balance and mental health theconversation.com/work-life-bala… #EM203Robin #EM203Research

The problem I identified this week involves alcohol abuse in post-secondary students. This source explores the dangers of alcoholism, binge drinking, and the consequences associated with college drinking. Source: alcoholrehabguide.org/resources/coll… #EM203Robin #EM203Research #EM203Problem

@EM203FChaves I really enjoyed the concept map that you shared in our discussion group. One issue that comes to mind when talking about education is a lack of adaptation to meet the needs of different students with different learning styles. #EM203Robin

@EM203jorrico Hi Jacob! I have really enjoyed the experiential learning approach in this course. It’s interesting to experience different approaches to learning and learn more about how technology shapes our learning

The ‘experiential learning’ approach emphasizes the importance of performing the activity and reflecting afterwards on potential improvements. Also, there’s the idea to reduce time from reading instructions, to focus more on going through simulations of the activity. #EM203Robin

@HinspergerLaura Hi Lauren! I had never used Twitter before this class either. I agree that’s it’s interesting how technology, even social media, can be beneficial to our learning.

I have never used twitter before but the past 3 weeks of class has taught me about learning in the digital age including how we can use digital technology to our advantages in education as well as other environments. #EM203Robin

@em203_mariac Hi Maria! I agree that although having information so readily available to us, it can also be overwhelming and sometimes actually harm our learning. Looking forward to learning more about this topic this semester! #EM203Robin

The first 3 weeks of #EM203Robin have taught me that the internet has changed the way people learn. Despite information being readily available and easily access the information overload can be detrimental to our learning. Time to go learn to tango!! 💃

@AlisonEm203 Hi Ali! I have also found learning about how tech has shaped our generation to be very interesting. Looking forward to a great semester :) #EM203Robin

@EM203SAMUELWANG Hi Sam! Sorry to hear you didn’t have a dance partner, but it’s still cool that you got to learn something new :) I agree that technology can definitely positively affect the learning environment #EM203Robin

The first three weeks of EM203 have been great. I really wanted to learn the tango but resorted to sudoku cause I don't have a dance partner 😭. However, I also have a stronger understanding of the digital world and it can benefit me in a learning environment. #EM203Robin

The first three weeks of EM203 have really expanded my understanding of how technology has affected our methods of learning and engagement. I’m looking forward to the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin
