@EM203_DanVu the past few months have demonstrated the crucial impact that social factors such as a pandemic has on the economy #EM203problems

@em203lauracaru1 Hi Laura, I agree that many benefits can arise when utilizing technology. This is especially prominent today during COVID-19 as we are relying on technology entirely for learning and collaborating with one another. This may not have been feasible prior to the digital age.

@em203lauracaru1 Hey Laura! Great tweet, I think you highlighted some very key learnings we have had over the last couple of weeks. I think that especially during these weird times we have really been able to explore different resources that we can use to communicate, learn, and complete work.

@EM203alexzawora Technology has a huge impact on how we learn today. We are even more immersed with technology during this pandemic through the use of Zoom, online discussions and even e-textbooks due to the social distancing restrictions.

Last week in my EM203 class I learned about constructivism and the importance of group discussion. A lot of the technology we have, like online discussion boards, can help to facilitate this kind of learning especially at a time like this given our social distancing. #EM203Robin

@GreenspoonJenna I totally agree Jenna! This week opened my eyes to recognize the impact that multi tasking has on my learning! I found that I learn better when the room is silent, rather than listening to music.

So far throughout EM203 we have explored multiple learning theories and how they are represented in today's society. This week has been my favourite so far as I really enjoyed learning how to salsa through the use of tutorial videos and practicing learning by doing. #EM203Robin

@casscal7 I agree! Technology has allowed us to have easy access and availability to any information in a variety of ways (photos, charts, articles, videos). Sometimes, we may even have an overload of information which can have an effect on us as well.

EM203 has enlightened me on the benefits of how we learn in a digital age. Digital technologies break down barriers to learning and deliver easy access to information. It expands learning strategies and communication which has been vital during this pandemic. #EM203Robin

@riseleyEM203 It is really important to recognize how much of a positive impact technology has had on our learning during this time. Without these platforms, we would not be able to continue our classes as usual!

@EM203oranney The development of the digital age has broadened the variety of platforms that we can now learn from. The first three lessons opened my eyes to see how impactful technology is on our learning.

The first 3 lessons have provided me insight on learning within a digital age and the effects that follow. Additionally, I looked deeper into the learning type behaviourism and found it intriguing how reinforcements can help shape a person. #EM203Robin

The first three lessons of EM203 have brought to light how the digital age has influenced how we learn. There are many benefits that can arise when we utilize technology- such as the access to resources and the ability to collaborate with one another! #EM203Robin
