Very important post that aims to inform individuals regarding the myths of self harming, and what you can do to help yourself and others struggling #EM203Research #EM203Robin

While there are many websites and articles that discuss common misconceptions regarding mental health, this is the first website I’ve come across that dismantles the mental health myths by providing the truth. #EM203Research #EM203Robin mentalhealth.gov/basics/mental-…

Balancing all aspects of wellness at a singular time is a problem currently associated within the wellness category @em203lflatt #EM203problems

Hey @em203Csprout,a problem I identified regarding your concept map is the fact that mental health isn’t deemed as important as physical health. Individuals are able take a sick day due to a physical illness, however taking a mental health day is not as acceptable #EM203problems

@EM203AMorris Hi Ava. Great idea to use a poll to see what our other classmates were doing! I decided to learn how to make origami. While it seemed to be easy enough in theory, I had to utilize experimental learning in order to be successful. How was learning how to tango?

@ZemelmanJessie I believe it’s important to reflect on our past educational experiences and how having access to technology has helped us learn. We have so much information at our fingertips!

During the first 3 classes of EM203, I learnt the various methods of using social media and how individuals can learn through the media. #EM203Robin

@EM203BGoodfello I found it interesting to see that multitasking while using technology truly impacts our ability to learn - after doing the experiment of listening to music while attempting to remember a list of words, I realized how simple distractions negatively impact our learning abilities.

I have really enjoyed the first few weeks of this class! It is very interesting to see how much of an impact technology use has had on our generation compared to learning in the past! looking forward to the rest of the term #EM203Robin

@EM203MNovokmet I believe that learning by doing is an effective way for many individuals to learn a new task. It incorporates trial and error and allows students to learn from their experiences. The one thing I really like about this learning theory is that it focuses on real life scenarios!

@EM203AbbyL Hi Abby! I agree completely agree with you. This class has made me realize how much technology can positively enhance our ability to learn, however, at times it can also be extremely distracting, thereby hindering our ability to learn efficiently and effectively.

The first few weeks of EM203 have been very fun and interactive, showing me the power of learning through media in the digital age. It demonstrates just how complex technology is, and the way it affects our everyday lives! #EM203Robin

We are only on our third week and I have already learned so much about how individuals learn, the importance of hands-on/experimental learning, and how multi-tasking impacts our ability to retain information. I am so excited for all the lessons to come!! #EM203Robin
