If only gambling ads were as honest as gambling industry CEOs giving evidence to Parliamentary inquiries
Here’s Kenny Alexander, boss of GVC which owns Ladbrokes Coral
YouGov, a market research firm in the UK, estimates that 2.7% of adults in Great Britain would be considered 'problem gamblers'. Of these 1.4 million people, less than half are getting the help they need.
It is crucial that we bring awareness to this problem. #EM203Robin
How similar are gambling and drug addictions? Can they really alter many of the same brain circuits?

@EM203DWilson Hey Devon, I really like this tweet! So many things are changing through technology and need. I’ve seen a few ads suggesting learning methods similar to how society watches Netflix or TV. Very interesting topic!
@EM203priyankak When it comes to climate change, the problem I face is how I, myself can make a positive impact. Will my actions contribute to change, or is it only the governments and large corporations that will be able to make a difference? #EM203Problems
Going into EM203 I didn’t know what to expect. I have been following trending topics and I totally understand the appeal. The course itself is very inclusive in discussion. Never before had I felt so apart of an online class. I am excited to see what next week holds. #EM203Robin

@em203sonali@BlainBritt After using Twitter for some years, I seriously can't imagine my life without it! I use it to stay connected with what is happening in the world, to share videos with my friends and family, and also to get a good laugh.
@EM203Mazzatenta Hey Hailey! Platforms such as Twitter allow us to stay connected and access information from all over the world. This can be seen through the protests that are currently taking place, which have presented many learning opportunities for our society.
@EM203BMighton Hey Brittney - I also completed a Sudoku! I ended up watching a YouTube video that gave some great 'tips & tricks' to solving complex puzzles. YouTube has always been one of my favourite sources for learning new tasks.
@KatieMi04011537 Hey Katie! Technology has most definitely presented major opportunities to expand the ways in which we learn. Online courses, such as EM203, have been great for me and my learning style!
@muskanarif10 Hey Muskan! I also believe Twitter is a great platform for educational purposes. I have had an account for many years now, and rely on it to stay connected with what is happening in the world!
Learning in the digital age has presented educators with countless opportunities - many of which may be left untapped if we do not re-examine how people learn. We must continuously strategize to effectively meet the learning styles of various groups #EM203Robin
