The issue I have chosen is Youth Unemployment. This picture I think best represents the sad truth upon graduation, and this should be fixed!

Here is an article that I found interesting surrounding academic stress! https://t.co/bHNGO1mrsN

Potentially thousands of cruise passengers in Doha are facing uncertainty after regional airspace closures linked to escalating tensions between Israel, Iran and the US grounded flights across the Middle East, disrupting travel plans and extending what was meant to be the end of a holiday.

A tweet that I found interesting was from @JDunk12 saying that "Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma accepts invite to 2026 NFL Combine". I found this interesting because he is a former player at Laurier and he is getting a second chance at proving himself for the NFL. #EM203Robin

One problem in @calvinwfraser concept map on digital inequality in education is the unequal access to technology, where unreliable internet and limited device availability can cause missed assignments, high stress, and lower academic success. #EM203problems

A problem is @EM203TDhadda concept map on digital media use and mental health is late night screen use, where spending more time on screens late at night can make it harder to sleep, which may lead to more anxiety, worse mood, and lower performance in school. #EM203problems

A problem that stood out to me in @EM203kassikot concept map is the risk to personal privacy in digital spaces, where data breaches can expose people’s sensitive information. #EM203problems

@EM203AshdinH Hi Ashdin, I also found that the multitasking activity showed how distractions can hurt focus and memory. I also liked the comic strip intro and thought it was a creative way to engage with the material and learn about everyone.

@EM203ConorJ Hi Conor, I have also learned a lot so far in EM203. It is important to know how the digital age, 3M's, and constructivism has evolved how we learn.

@EM203WBrewer Hi will! I agree a lot that the internet has changed the way we learn today, and I can't wait to see that influence through this course!

[Ben Valenciano @EM203BVALENCIAN]

@EM203MThompson Hi Magregor, great post! I can relate to your view about working at your own pace, it is definitely a positive aspect of this course!

[Ben Valenciano @EM203BVALENCIAN]

@EM203LMULCAHY Hi Liam, I am also having fun in this course! I also enjoyed the multi-tasking experiement! Looking forward to see what is next!

[Ben Valenciano @EM203BVALENCIAN]

These first couple weeks of EM203 have been lots of fun! I have enjoyed the activities we have done so far such as using comic strips to introduce ourselves as well as learning a new skill! I am looking forward to see what else I get to learn from this class #EM203Robin
