As part of our High School Tech Immersion Program, students will participate in business training sessions to explore the non-technical side of the industry. Today's session with Hasan introduced them to customer success. Thank you, Hasan, for spending time with our students!
For anyone looking to gain further information on the problem I have identified with regards to current secondary school offerings, I developed a slide deck that touches on key issues and potential solutions which is attached below.

These schools and educators provide in-demand career tech skills that lead to great jobs for high school grads — high paying jobs without college debt.
Key Identified Problem:
The relevance of the academic courses currently mandated in secondary schools, specifically in terms of the preparation that they provide students with in order to have successful careers in emerging fields/sectors. #EM203Robin#EM203Problem
@TeachSecondary It would be great to hear your thoughts on the relevance of current secondary school courses, specifically in terms of preparing students for career pathways in emerging fields
When conducting further research on the courses offered in secondary schools, I found an interesting article outlining a project based in North Carolina that could contribute to addressing the problem I have identified. Below is a link to the article:

When conducting a Google search on areas related to the problem I identified in Lesson 6(courses offered in secondary school), I found an interesting article related to the removal of academic and applied streaming options starting this fall.#EM203Research https://t.co/ifG3lj6sW1
"You could look further into how/if technical skills like coding are taught in secondary school. These skills are becoming increasingly important, but many students don't have access to these courses!" - @em203hzakint

Hi @EM203AZYLam ! Your mind map about the impact of social media on mental health is really interesting! One area that you could maybe analyze further is the effect of social media on sleep schedules and how that impacts other areas of someone’s overall lifestyle #EM203problems
Hi @em203hzakint! Thanks for sharing your mind map about education! One area that you could look into further is the future of the teaching environment and the impact that technology may have on teachers’ preferences in terms of the instruction methods being used #EM203problems
Hi @Em203Panganiban thanks for sharing your concept map about video games! An area that you could further examine is how the emergence of video games has impacted the type (and #)of different skills being acquired when individuals play them regularly at a young age #EM203problems
@EM203awingert Hi Alexanne! Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree that the first few lessons of the course have been really interesting and particularly relevant to the emerging digital learning environment.
@EM203fandrew Hi Andrew. Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree that learning new things through hands-on experience can be extremely beneficial and that the first month of the course has been really engaging.
@em203hzakint Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree that learning about the various learning theories as well as the 3 Ms have allowed for a better understanding of different learning preferences, which is especially relevant as we move further into the digital age.
@EM203LucasDef Thanks for sharing! I definitely agree that the lessons in the first month have been really interesting, and that the use of Twitter is particularly interesting and relevant to the emerging digital environment in society.
The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been really interesting! We've had the opportunity to read about different learning theories as well as the 3 M's, which are both particularly relevant to the area of learning in a digital age. Looking forward to the rest of the course! #EM203Robin
