Hi @YWSToronto I am working on an assignment regarding homelessness for a university course and I was wondering, what are the biggest factors contributing to youth homelessness in the GTA?

Hello @ICHA_Toronto, I am working on an assignment regarding homelessness for a university course and I was wondering, other than donations, what are the best ways for community members to help support shelters?

Hi @cannemarshall, I'm working on an assignment for a university course and I was wondering, in your opinion, what are fundamental changes that need to be made in Canada to end homelessness?

Hi @Alliance_Kay, I am working on an assignment regarding homelessness for a university course and I was wondering, in what ways can I help support shelters and what do you recommend as the best resources to learn more about the subject?

Dismantling homeless encampments in highly visible locations without providing viable alternatives only forces the displaced people into less visible, more dangerous locations where they’ll have less access to resources, help and community. It’s a truly despicable thing to do.

only 9% of people who've been forced out of city parks have moved into temporary or permanent housing https://t.co/8A68jPaQeq

The health industry seeks ways to combat the opioid crisis. Let’s address this together and save our loved ones! #EM203robin #EM203research

Many organizations aim to find solutions to combat increasing rates of homelessness. It's time for us to tackle this problem head on and demand legislative changes to be made! #EM203Robin

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

Homelessness is a widespread issue affecting those all around the globe, including Canada. With rising rates of displaced individuals, it can no longer be ignored. Learn more here: https://t.co/cZmHx03MzC. #EM203Robin

Luka Doncic and Slovenia have qualified to compete in the Olympics for the first time in the nation's history 👏

This is an interesting read that sheds light on the future of learning for those in the workforce. As we look ahead to a post-pandemic world, companies (and the government) must plan for the success of both businesses and workers. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Our future labour force requires rethinking what education is – and who should actually provide it https://t.co/mpAHTjTxP5

After 3 weeks of #em203robin, I’ve learned about the way that digital learning has risen with prominence in our daily lives by maximizing on the benefits of utilizing various forms of media to effectively develop our skills and knowledge!

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

@em203_mmrazovac I feel the same way! The lessons are very engaging and its been a unique experience to use Twitter to interact with classmates. I'm enjoying the digital focus as I can find new ways to connect with others and also further explore my personal learning style

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

@TanviSa77566880 Hi Tanvi! This fact stuck out to me as well and makes sense when I think about my own learning experiences. I often listen to music and check my phone while completing work so I'm used to multi-tasking. But, when it comes to memorization, it doesn't work very well for me

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

@SRanjson The results of the multi-tasking activity were surprising to me. I thought multi-tasking was efficient since I usually listen to music or podcasts while doing work, but it turns out that isn't always the case!

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

@EM203jrotondi Taking a look at different learning theories was definitely interesting! My group focused on constructivism as well. I didn't know much about it before, but the idea that we build knowledge through social interactions should be used to enhance classroom learning

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

@EM203HafsaAhmed I agree! It's been interesting to explore the different forms of media available to us to further our learning. Compared to traditional text methods, I like using audio, video or graphic resources to learn a new concept (like how to solve sudoku puzzles 📝)

[Amna Syed @EM203ASyed]

The first three weeks of EM203 have taught me a lot about learning in the digital age! We've gotten to explore traditional learning theories and developed new skills like solving sudoku puzzles. Looking forward to the rest of the course #EM203Robin
