How can we best reshape approaches to educating students on hand drumming? Djembes in schools are great but I can speak from experience in saying that most students aren't taught about the context of traditional Afro-Indigenous drum practice. @judah_lauder

There is so much that we don't consider when looking at drum circles in schools. How can we teach students about traditional Afro-Indigenous drum practice...does that mean changing the curriculum directly? @judah_lauder as an author, I would love to hear your thoughts!

This year I have started studying several drumming styles from around the world. While drumming can have significant cognitive and psychological benefits, 'drumming circles' are often not aware of the cultural significance that many drums hold

@EM203BJordan @RobinPersadWL Hi Ben! I have also really enjoyed the start of the course so far. Learning about the learners of the digital age and the role of technology and the media in education has been very interesting!

@EM203agargiulo I learned how to complete a hard sodoku puzzle as well and found it to be a lot more time-consuming and more challenging than I had expected. I also found it really interesting to explore theories of learning such as connectivism!

@mcdo1080 Hello Tiffany, I am also really enjoying the class layout and the activities we have done to engage with digital media. It feels like a huge breath of fresh air in comparison to other courses!

@EM203VSodoma Hi Victoria! It has been really interesting to explore how information can be presented in the media in so many different ways. Learning to navigate and learn from the ways that technology is used in the modern age has been very interesting!

@EM203JMoffat Hello Jaden! That's great that you learned how to knit! I chose to give Sodoku a try for the first time...knitting has never been my forte. It was definitely much more motivating to learn a new skill for class marks than to give it a try randomly!

The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been interesting. In the course material I have gotten the opportunity to explore the role of technology within digital societies. More importantly, I have enjoyed the emphasis on how these technologies play a role in modern education. #EM203Robin
