@ryanewaskiw In today’s society, social media use is increasing. Unfortunately, with this, the negative impacts on mental health such as feelings of isolation and anxiety are becoming more prominent. What do you believe is the best path forward to minimize such impacts?

I find this tweet very interesting, because sleep is something we all need, and determines how you start each day. These tips can ensure everyone gets the quality sleep they deserve. #EM203Robin

This source provided me with insight into several impacts social media has on our mental health. It lists 6 of the countless effects social media has on us and explains each of them in detail. #EM203Research forbes.com/sites/alicegwa…

@Em203Khan The economy was thoroughly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and took a great amount of time to recover. This led people to feel as though the pandemic was still happening even once restrictions were lifted. #EM203problems

In the first week of EM203, I have learned that social media and technology have a large impact on many things in society, and especially our learning. It has taught me different styles of learning and about connectivism, which is a very interesting concept to me. #EM203Robin

@em203chiggins An issue I find with the cost of education is that teachers' salaries don't increase with the rate of inflation. This leads them to strike which negatively impacts students' education. #EM203problems

@em203jpoag I also learned about connectivism and found it captivating how learning is done through making connections within one's# own brain. In addition, learning about the impact that social media and technology have on society was very interesting. #EM203Robin

@EM203MHaggith I have also found myself applying what we have learned so far in my everyday life. Finding out how much more efficient I am when I am focused versus with some distractions was eye-opening for me as well. #EM203Robin

The first few lessons were very intriguing and I have found myself applying what I have learned to everyday situations. This week's lesson was particularly interesting as we learned about the cross-over between efficiency when learning and multi-tasking. #EM203Robin

@EM203MBrown Yes, this course has been a blast do far. I agree that it was super interesting to learn about the different ways we can use technology for learning and collaboration. #EM203Robin

Currently in the third week of EM203 and have been loving the course so far! Learning the ways in which various digital technologies and social media platforms can be of use for collaborative and creative learning. Excited for the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin

@em203digiallon I totally agree, the first three weeks were super informative and it has been great to be able to interact with other students and learn more that way. #EM203Robin

My first three weeks of #EM203Robin have been super fun! This course is super interactive and incredibly informative on the learning theories for our digital age. This week I learned how to complete a Sudoku puzzle! I can’t wait to expand my knowledge the remainder of this term!

@EM203Arkend I totally agree that using Twitter for the first time has been a lot of fun. The module I found most interesting was about the different learning theories, and how they can all be used for teaching different content. #EM203Robin

I am finding the modules in this class to be quite interesting. As someone who has never had a twitter account I am especially enjoying using twitter for the first time. #EM203Robin

So far in EM203, we have acknowledged that people may learn differently in an online environment and that this generation of students is very connected to the internet. I also found it very interesting to study the learning theory of connectivism. #EM203Robin
