Me, a political science major, settling in to hear everyone debate politics over Christmas dinner. Thanks for the sweater @norm 🎄

A new era! Canada will now have a new Commissioner for Modern Treaty Implementation. This will strengthen relationships and ensure lasting accountability.

Today, Prime Minister Trudeau, joined by Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners and Self-Governing Indigenous Governments, announced the creation of the new role of Commissioner for Modern Treaty Implementation. Details: ow.ly/boL650RuX4X

Less than a year after being denied by the Passenger Transportation Board, Uber is once again seeking to acquire a license that would permit it to operate in Victoria and Kelowna. martlet.ca/uber-continues…

@TomKellyShow can’t wait for @OneRepublic at Central Park - love from Canada ❤️❤️ #onerepublicongma

@SpottedLaurier Actually, the Athletic Complex has updated all their policies! You can have a limit of 3 no shows in a week and the policy is that you have to cancel 2 hours in advance! Hope that helps :)

Can the fitness centre please explain why they have a limit for two no-shows and require five-hour cancellation notice. It would encourage people with covid symptoms to potentially go so they don't get banned from booking, and it doesn't even matter since the slots are never full

Congrats ⁦@karleysider⁩ for completing your @Laurier BA ⁦⁦@LaurierPoliSci⁩ and Film Studies! Proud x a million! #ForeverGolden

Which solution to gender equity in girls’ education do you think can make the greatest impact?

Hi @girlsalliance! As an organization that advocates for empowering girls through education, what are the key contributing factors to education inequity and how do we spark a conversation around the barriers that prevent girls from reaching their full potential? #EM203Robin

Hi @dayleythought! I would love to hear your thoughts on potential solutions towards eradicating educational barriers girls and women face around the world, especially with regards to COVID-19! #EM203Robin

The problem I identified is obesity in youth. This article by the Government of Canada explains the health problems of childhood obesity and provides tips for eating healthy and staying physically active. canada.ca/en/public-heal…

Very interesting to examine the ways in which others interact with my tweets and Twitter account. The different ways Twitter shows the info (statistics, bar graphs, visuals) is a great reflection of the course and the different ways we can communicate information! #Em203Robin

One of the solutions for gaining equality for girls' education around the world is the implementation and advocation for improved water, sanitation, and hygiene for girls! #EM203Robin

An interesting link from the WB addressing barriers to girls' education, particularly how COVID-19 is negatively impacting girls' health and well-being! #EM203Robin worldbank.org/en/topic/girls…

An interesting look into the future! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@karleysider Financial issues may affect girl’s education #EM203problems

@em203orlamolloy Hi Orla! One thing I would add to your concept about lack of quality of education is political leadership! Successful education requires good policy design and implementation strategies #EM203problems

@JacklinHunter Hi Hunter! One thing I would look into for your concept map is adding “teacher training” under equity or accessibility (for things like class management skills, etc) #EM203problems

@SophieD30042959 Hi Sophie! Another issue you could add to your concept map is access to mental health resources, like counseling! #EM203problems

@EM203Pirranavan Hi Pirranavan! I agree, I enjoyed diving into the theory of constructivism. I've really appreciated the different approaches to learning even within the course as well (Dr. Persad posting graphs, TedTalks, discussion posts, articles, etc.). It's a great reflection of the content!

@EM203ebraun Hi Erin - I love your enthusiasm! I felt the same way when I learned how to knit a 5x5 square. It was definitely something a little intimidating at first but I loved how it forced me outside my comfort zone and to think outside the box.

I love this class so far and the unique assignments that we're given! Every week is different and allows us to explore different learning strategies. This week I got to tango! #EM203Robin
