In the first week of EM203, I have learned that social media and technology have a large impact on many things in society, and especially our learning. It has taught me different styles of learning and about connectivism, which is a very interesting concept to me. #EM203Robin
@em203chiggins An issue I find with the cost of education is that teachers' salaries don't increase with the rate of inflation. This leads them to strike which negatively impacts students' education. #EM203problems
@em203jpoag I also learned about connectivism and found it captivating how learning is done through making connections within one's# own brain. In addition, learning about the impact that social media and technology have on society was very interesting. #EM203Robin
@EM203MHaggith I have also found myself applying what we have learned so far in my everyday life. Finding out how much more efficient I am when I am focused versus with some distractions was eye-opening for me as well. #EM203Robin
@EM203MBrown Yes, this course has been a blast do far. I agree that it was super interesting to learn about the different ways we can use technology for learning and collaboration. #EM203Robin

@EM203Arkend I totally agree that using Twitter for the first time has been a lot of fun. The module I found most interesting was about the different learning theories, and how they can all be used for teaching different content. #EM203Robin
So far in EM203, we have acknowledged that people may learn differently in an online environment and that this generation of students is very connected to the internet. I also found it very interesting to study the learning theory of connectivism. #EM203Robin
