Growing up I was always told that it was on me and my personal actions to help solve climate change. I wish the education system taught us that 100 corporations make up over 70% of global carbon emissions. What are your thoughts @DrAuroraElmore ?

A great solution to climate change would be energy efficiency–especially given that we live in such a technologically driven society!

3 Simple ways to reduce the effects of climate change are; reducing personal energy consumption, buying local/seasonal foods as well as eating more plant-based meals, and urging leaders to take action towards net-zero emissions!

It's incredibly upsetting to see that climate change–which in and of itself is harmful–disproportionately impacts black communities. This brings to light that this is more than just an environmental issue; it is a social issue! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Hey, @EM203SGibson your concept map on homelessness was great as it reflected the interconnectedness of mental health; anxiety/depression induced by homelessness heightens the risk of substance abuse as a coping mechanism. Hence, this is an issue of importance! #EM203problem

@cassiecarfa Hi Cassie! I definitely think so too. However, while the education system must evolve, so must learners of the digital age. I believe it is equally important for learners to strengthen their digital literacy!

The first few weeks in EM203: Learn 280 Characters or Less have given me the opportunity to learn and understand how our education system, including learning theories and different curriculums, must change to fit and flow more in the "digital age". #EM203Robin

@EM203FrancescoM I agree! Discussion posts enable us to take our existing understanding and contrast it with that of with others. We can really see the constructivist learning style in action through this course's approach!

I’ve learned to understand different sorts of learning styles and to reflect on my own learning strategies in EM203 throughout the last three weeks. I’ve liked how engaging the discussion posts are and I've enjoyed participating in the activities that have been given. #EM203Robin

@em203_czhang EM 203 definitely possesses interesting content! I found the lesson on who learners of the digital age are to be particularly fascinating as I learned that Canadian adults are some of the biggest internet users and video consumers of the world!

So far, I have learned about quite a few different concepts; including who learners of the digital age are, constructivism (what it is and how it is used), and the 3Ms. I am excited to continue learning about interesting concepts in this course! #EM203Robin

@Em203CAdamson I think the course certainly brings to light things I would not have otherwise considered–things like technological disadvantages! It was interesting to learn how technology can induce cognitive overload and the negative impacts of multi-tasking!

In the first three weeks of EM-203, I have learned how the use of technology in todays day and age has become something that we learn from and with, but it can also have its disadvantages. #EM203Robin

@EM203PCanham Constructivism is a highly relevant theory! It’s been interesting to see the theory in action in an online environment (like through breakout rooms), but I’m also excited to experience the constructivist perspective in person!

After week 3 of EM203, not only have I gained an understating of the constructivism theory and how highly it is viewed within classrooms, but also about the 3 M’s and their influences. I’m excited to see be back in class and observe constructivism within classrooms! #EM203Robin

Through EM203, I’ve learned highly relevant concepts like who learners of the digital age are, constructivism which involves learning by interacting with others and comparing perspectives, and how the 3M’s can be implemented to enhance one’s learning experiences! #EM203Robin
