@healthylifeMD Are we underestimating how dangerous excessive screen time is? Feels like our attention spans are getting shorter by the day… constantly scrolling, switching, and consuming. What’s this doing to how we think, learn, and focus long-term?

Misinformation and disinformation online is a major issue in our digital age.

The problem I have identified is misinformation online. Learning to fact-check and evaluate sources is more important than ever. This website explains more!

@EngLiterature_E Very true. You have to put in the work, especially in education. #EM203Robin

The problem identified in my classmate Cameron’s concept map is that attention spans are being affected by technology in a potentially harmful way due to the constant stimulation among many other factors.

@EM203ConorJ Hey Conor, I’ve learned that misinformation on social media is very concerning as it can lead to mass hysteria/fear, potential health risks, and an overall misinformed population. This is an interesting topic, do your best to stay informed online!

[Arman Bhullar @armanbhullar123]

Something I’ve learned from concept maps this week is how social media may lead to misinformation. This is usually caused by lack of fat checking, algorithm bias and speed sharing. It can lead to public hysteria and political polarization, affecting almost everyone in the world.

@EM203_Arman Glad to hear that Arman! I am also enjoying this course so far. How the digital age is promoting a multitasking environment was a very interesting topic.

[EM203ConorJ @EM203ConorJ]

Learning a lot thus far in EM203: Learn 280 Characters Or Less course at WLU. A few topics we have covered so far are the rise of the Digital Age, theories of learning in specifically constructivism for my discussion group and the 3M's #EM203Robin
