@zuke19374267 Hi. Was wondering if you had any expertise in the area of Mason Bee Hotels? I've been trying to get a hold of someone who knows how to place/maintain them to ensure the most effectiveness. Let me know. Thanks!

@colinpurrington Hi Colin. Wondering if you could provide some insight into how we, as owners of mason bee houses, can improve their effectiveness (i.e. particular placement, surrounding plants/flowers, or any other general suggestions). I'm having trouble attracting high volumes of bees. Thanks.

Here is a link that describes a cool initiative started by a group of medical experts regarding concussions, brain injuries and PTSD. brainline.org/article/concus…

Innovative solution to the pollinator crisis being done right on our Laurier campus! Members of the Enactus team have created a business focused on tackling the issue of widespread urban sprawl through selling these "Bee Hotels" to provide sanctuary and nesting for pollinators!!

Elizabeth May quits as Green Party leader, but will stay as party's parliamentary leader. Names Jo-Ann Roberts, who lost bid for Halifax-area seat in last month's election, as interim leader. Party to hold leadership vote in PEI Oct., 2020. Previous story: cbc.ca/1.5341351

Thanks to the EU for taking action to ban bee-killing neonic pesticides! Pesticide companies have poisoned the Earth and killed insects at unprecedented rates. The US must follow suit and ban these toxic pesticides. #SaveTheBees reuters.com/article/us-eu-…

@Em203Cameron This is awesome! I'm also very passionate about this area. I would recommend following @CarBombBoom13 . Great former NHL player from my hometown who has some super interesting insights into CTE and how it affected his career.

Found an interesting article that provides a great synopsis of concussions in sports. #EM203Research nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/sp…

Fantastic Laurier venture that is related to my issue of choice. I actually had the privilege to spearhead the enterprise last year and bring a product to market alongside a team of 5 other Laurier students. Check them out here enactuslaurier.ca/pollination! #EM203Clarke #EM203Research

sos-bees.org/causes/ I love this website for diving deep into the pollinator crisis! The site does a fantastic job of explaining each related cause in depth and providing a very comprehendible explanation. #EM203Research

A quote I found interest in was by @mpftwellbeing stating that, "Symptoms of anxiety can mimic symptoms of physical illness and start a chain of catastrophic thoughts", having this photo attached to the tweet: #EM203Research #EM203Robin

@BEm203 Awesome mind map on the issue of Child Obesity! An issue that is related to child obesity is the rising price of healthy foods (produce products in particular). The decreasing supply of fresh food available causes an unfavourable rise in prices. #EM203Problems

@Em203Cameron Thanks Cameron. Looking forward to hearing your takes in the coming weeks!

@DT_EM203 Hi David! I too enjoyed reading about different learning theories. The internet can allow us to learn so many new things, it will be exciting to learn more about learning in our digital age!

EM203 has been fantastic so far. I thoroughly enjoyed studying the different learning theories last week. This evening, I even learned how to sing in German! Looking forward to the remainder of the course and seeing what else it has to offer! #EM203Clarke

@Alexand69274569 Hi Alex. Very good point. This class has been very unique from any other course I have taken in the past. Refreshing is the perfect way of putting it. Looking forward to the reso of the semester!

I have enjoyed EM203 so far for numerous reasons. The unique course structure is refreshing and is more effective in helping me learn and retain content read rather than the traditional lecture style. Reading about behaviourism has been very interesting. #em203clarke

@EM203DanVyTo Hi Dan Vy! I completely agree. So far, I've had a blast. I do have to say, learning German last week was a struggle. I speak 3 languages and can honestly say German was the most challenging yet. What did you decide to learn last week?

The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been very engaging and I have learned lots! Last week we learned about various learning theories. This week, we will learn about the digital age and the impacts of media and multi-tasking. Looking forward to it! #EM203Clarke

@EM203DWood Hi Danielle! I also found connectivism to be an interesting topic covered so far. How did you enjoy the learning activity last week? What did you decide to learn?

During these last three weeks, #EM203Clarke has taught me about the impact that technology has on learning. Specifically, I learned about connectivism - a learning theory stating that we learn through natural networks of information and people.

@Em203Cameron I could not agree more! What has been the most interesting learning theory so far (in your opinion)? Have you noticed any applications to your own educational journey? Looking forward to hearing from you!

So far EM203 has been very interesting. I enjoyed learning about the different learning theories last week. Looking forward to learning more abut learning in our digital age! #EM203Robin
