@kcvgd Thank you for your insightful tweet! I appreciate it. I agree that ageism with the younger generation is a topic that is often overlooked and discredited.

@tamaraem203 Hi, my thoughts regarding inequality & ageism per your interest & request relayed by my colleague S. Ensign: ageism is often overlooked & less talked about; though it mostly concerns elders.s welfare, young & middle aged people can face ageism as well sometime (e.g. job search).

Here is the link to a website that discusses my topic of choice, Social Inequality: pachamama.org/social-justice….

The UK economy is on the verge of financial ruin. Rishi Sinuk believes UK government spending must be slashed and taxes must increase. The article below dives into more details: mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

A tweet related to my issue of interest - income inequality: "Income inequality is troubling because, among other things, it means that many people in our society don't have the opportunities to advance themselves." -Ben Bernanke #EM203Robin

@SimonneFlynn16 I have identified plastic pollution in the US as an issue associated with your concept map discussing environmental issues! #em203problems

@EM203ndatsen I defined air pollution and water pollution in Canada as a problem associated with your concept map covering environmental issues! #em203problems

@EM203LPolster I defined deficits in government funding for schools as a problem associated with your concept map that looks at the education system! #em203problems

@tamaraem203 I agree! When I learned more about the different learning styles I also realized how important it is to incorporate different ones when you're teaching. Everyone learns differently after all!

@em203snovillo Hi Sofia! I had the same thought - it's so interesting how everyone learns in different ways. Looking forward to more of these discussions throughout the semester.

I have learned so much over the first 3 weeks of EM203! I found it particularly interesting being able to dive deeper into the different ways individuals learn in the digital age, it's really neat to learn how people grasp concepts in their own unique ways. #Em203robin

@EM203BKorol Hi Ben! What an insightful comment, looking forward to hearing more of your ideas this semester!

Learning about constructivism has been very insightful. Constructivist learning is most effective when the learner consciously wants to become familiar with their external environment and strive for meaningful results. #Em203robin

@EM203HKaur Hi Harman, I'm glad you're enjoying this course as much as I am! Looking forward to more of these discussions during the semester.

I have really enjoyed EM203 thus far. Throughout the first 3 lessons I have learned about the benefits of learning and information sharing in today's digital age. I can't wait to explore the rest of the course! #Em203Robin

@EM203pfrey Hi Phil, hope you're taking away as much as I am from this course!

In the first 3 weeks of #Em203Robin I have learned the different styles of learning in the digital age. I am looking forward to learning more about how the digital age has changed the way we learn.

@EM203MTrif Hi Magda, I noticed you are also on my discussion board - hope you found the lesson on constructivism as beneficial as I did!

I have learned a lot during the first 3 weeks of EM203 and have enjoyed the lessons so far! It is interesting seeing how the digital age has reformed learning and communication. Looking forward to learning more in the course! #EM203Robin

Reading about the different learning theories helped me realize how unique everyone's approach to learning is. I'm having a blast in EM203 with #EM203Robin !
