@jean_twenge I’m studying for a class on how early phone use and the digital age have affected attention span. Looking for a response from an expert, do you think these issues also lead to long-term attention problems, or do we not know yet?

@GloriaMark_PhD Really enjoyed the interview, Dr. Mark was super insightful. I’m researching how attention spans are changing in the digital age, looking for a response from an expert. From your perspective, what’s the most misunderstood factor driving the drop in sustained focus today?

Digital stimulation is shrinking our attention spans and real world connection rapidly!

How attention spans have shrunk and supporting stats, worth a read!

Media multitasking is associated with weaker memory and poorer attention control. Constant task switching (which I am definitely a victim of) literally reshapes how we focus. #EM203Research https://t.co/EmiNZxw4At

@ASvirac87829 Brain overload from social media is shortening attention spans. What interventions can reduce digital overstimulation in students? #EM203problems

@EM203MKonidis Emotional dysregulation in ADHD can lead to school/work burnout and frustration. How can supports be improved to help with emotional regulation in youth with ADHD? #EM203problems

@EM203EArmstrong Your concept map discusses shortening attention spans, I believe another problem relating to that topic is the constant access to cellphones in everyday life. More so, The ability to scroll infinitely constantly. #EM203Problems

Hi @EM203EArmstrong, I really liked your concept map! A potential issue I see with your problem is how the constant pull of notifications is making it harder to be fully present in face-to-face conversations, weakening social bonds. #EM203Problems

What strategies can schools implement to reduce burnout caused by academic stress and social media pressure? #EM203problems @EM203NickSue

@EM203GraydonE I really enjoyed testing how distractions affect retention. It showed me the value of keeping my study time distraction free.

@em203mbona86981 The hands on style has been a big change from typical lectures. Using tools made the lessons feel more practical, and I think that approach will stick with me beyond this course.

[Ethan Armstrong @EM203EArmstrong]

@Jacobsp1ce Sounds like a solid takeaway, concept maps and problem solving definitely make the material stick better.

[Ethan Armstrong @EM203EArmstrong]

@EM203KPatel1 Great point, we are truly co-constructing knowledge, and it's honestly amazing!

@EM203Keerthi The comic strip was definitely fun and refreshing. Glad you're enjoying the course as much as I am!

Three weeks into #EM203Robin, I'm already loving it, learning things like how we learn best. I’ve been enjoying the social media side of the course too. Most recently, we’ve been exploring new ideas around how we think and learn. It’s been eye opening and a fun change of pace!
