It’s alarming to learn how much sugar is added even in baby food products! This could be a direct cause to childhood obesity as we are getting hooked on sugars at such a young age. #EM203Clarke#EM203Research
Baby food products are too high in sugars. In 3 of the cities studied, 50% + products provided over 30% of the calories from total sugars. A third of the products listed sugar, concentrated fruit juice or other sweetening agents as an ingredient. https://t.co/5Q6acVXVC9

@andreashiva1 I love how twitter is incorporated in the course though! It allows us to apply the learning that we have been doing on such a relevant digital platform. It has already broadened my view of twitter in just a couple of weeks!
@EM203laurenpub1 Thats an interesting thought because even though connectivism has impacted the way we gain knowledge outside of academic institutions, more and more of our schools are using digital platforms as a means to teach students and convey information among them!
@andrew_diiorio All the different learning theories are so relevant in our everyday lives! It also got me thinking about my elementary school teachers and their teaching methods but I also think even how we are learning here, at the university level, that it is still extremely applicable.
