@kjacksonatwlu @morricemike Awesome. I really appreciate the insight. It has been interesting to do more research into this issue, the more I learn, the more I want to get involved.

@em203michcest @morricemike Finally, there are short-term actions you can take. Get involved with organizations both on and off-campus looking to reduce inequality - see what works and what doesn’t. Get involved in student government and advocate for changes you would like to see. 4/4

Hey @kjacksonatwlu, is there anything we as students can do to contribute to reducing economic inequality in Canada? Often, these kinds of issues can feel out of our hands, but I was wondering if you have any advice to offer on this.

The issue I have decided to focus on is Screen Time and its relationship with Mental Health in young people, check out this article from the Yale School of Medicine for more: m.yale.edu/bnsz via @yalemed

Excess stress among University students is known to have a significant impact on Mental Health. How can educational institutions better support students in managing stress, and what strategies can we as students adopt to maintain their mental well-being? @andrewpain1974 🧠😀

My issue was economic inequality. I found this article from UC Berkeley quite interesting on the topic. belonging.berkeley.edu/six-policies-r…

This is one of my favourite quotes of all time. It really is true. Creativity is like a muscle, and the more it is used, the stronger and more effective it becomes. #em203research

hey Michael! I liked the aesthetic of your concept map! I think similar to gender; there may be inequality based of someone's sex or what kind of people they're attracted. #EM203problems @em203michcest

@Gavin71166702 a problem being faced in the education world in Ontario right now is a lack of mental health resources in schools. This involves educators being unequipped as well. #EM203problems

@EM203NPatel right now we are seeing the adverse affects of climate change and the impact on health through the smoke travelling across Ontario. This has made it more difficult to see and breathe. #EM203problems

@EM203llevitt on the topic of health, a problem that I identified is a smoking and vaping crisis in Ontario, and all across Canada. This fits into your concept map under "smoking" and the health risks associated with it. #EM203problems

@MTersigni9 Hey Matt, it's awesome you were able to learn a new skill! The power of the brain is truly fascinating. All it takes is a quick Google search and you have access to unlimited learning tools. Go Celtics!

Just completed my first ever 16x16 Sudoku. My brain feels numb but I’ve also never felt so smart. EM203 has really opened up my eyes to new perspectives on the world and different accessible media outlets. Looking forward to the rest of the class. #EM203Robin

@EM203NFerdman Hey Noah, I have noticed these perspectives as well. I also find it interesting being able to apply these new concepts to other aspects of my life, outside of the course context.

In the first three lessons of the course, I’ve been fascinated by the diverse perspectives my classmates regarding various topics. Exploring topics, such as the three M’s, through digital media has been beneficial. Excited for what’s to come in the rest of the course!#EM203Robin

@EM203MSvetlov Hi Michelle, it's great you've been able to learn in a collaborative way, seeing new perspectives and viewpoints of classmates.

Hi everyone! I have enjoyed increasing my knowledge threw the past few lessons. I have been captivated by the varied viewpoints shared by my classmates on different subjects. Utilizing digital media to delve into topics like the three M's has proven advantageous. #EM203Robin

@EM203RNeal Hey Ryan, it really is a crazy statistic to think about, and I wonder how it will impact future generations as technology develops. I don't think it's healthy, so the unknown generates a lot of questions.

Hi All! Through my first few weeks in EM203, I have learned about the overuse of technology (40 percent of the youth population sleeps with their phone)! I have also learned about technology's importance in everyday life and how crucial it is to be digitally literate #EM203Robin

@EM203HANLEW Agreed Hansel, it's great you've been able to reflect and grow your own understanding of the power of technology in learning and daily use.

Just finished my first couple weeks of #EM203Robin and I have to say this course is amazing. It really sheds light on how impactful technology and media can be on our daily lives. I can't wait to learn more!

Just learned my first words in German. The national anthem might need to be added to the playlist. I didn't think learning a new language (even through music) would be this enjoyable, the process is actually mentally calming. #EM203Robin
