This article explores the idea of skill biased technological change and its disproportionate impact on those in poverty. It highlights continual education as a potential solution to increasing inequality. #EM203Research

The 80's War on Drugs still has an impact on people today https://t.co/J0RIlJvTLd

SOLUTION: a push for more media coverage.

Although media coverage of women in sports has improved more needs to be done. #EM203Robin #EM203Problems

A great read that discusses why sexism is still a problem in sports, specifically at the Olympics. We need to build a better future in sport and beyond, there is no place for sexism. #EM203Robin #EM203Problems

“A girl should hear, ‘You play like a girl’ and beam with pride, knowing that she played with whole-hearted passion and tenacity”.

Let’s educate ourselves to create an environment where girls are comfortable and engaged in sports at all ages. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Advocating for gender equality means pushing for oppurtunities both in and outside the classroom. Despite progress, stereotypes around women and girls in sports persist today.

@EM203ASawchuk I really liked your concept map! I think another issue in sports is that male athletes don't view female coaches as "real" coaches. #EM203problems

Thank you for your concept map Alexa! Your insights clearly explained how gender biases in sport can affect sexualization & pay inequality. A problem you touched on is athletic sponsorship deals between the sexes and how that affects the media. @EM203ASawchuk #EM203problems

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@EM203carleebann In response to your concept map, “Children & Participation in Sports” a problem you could examine is why is the sports dropout rate for girls much higher than boys? What are the factors influencing girls participation in sports? #EM203problems

If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn. #EM203Robin

How do YOU learn?

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@kashifasaeed5 This is awesome, congrats!

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@em203PatrickBjr I definitely agree! Technology is such a great resource for our learning. It provides us with easy to access information and makes learning more fun and engaging.

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@MouldsEthan Hey Ethan, I totally agree! This course has already shown me how useful technology is for learning!

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

Today, I learned how to sing a song in German. The pronunciation was challenging, but with help from YouTube videos I got it! #EM203Robin

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@evan_ramji Woohoo, way to challenge yourself!

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

@PsychZey Great job! I learned how to sing in german and it was frustrating at first too!

[Alexa Sawchuk @EM203ASawchuk]

The opening lessons in EM203 have further educated me on how useful technology is within, and outside the classroom. Technology enhances learning through stronger engagement, provides flexibility and promotes collaboration. #EM203Robin
