Vaping is a unique and alarming trend affecting a large amount of youth in today's society. It is causing teens to become addicted to nicotine, and causing severe health issues down the road. #StopYouthVaping #QuitVaping #EM203Research

@OHomelessness do you think that the newly appointed Housing Affordability Task Force will reverse the current housing crisis?

[OAEHomelessness @OHomelessness]

While we welcome the appointment of a Housing Affordability Task Force, we are troubled to see a glaring omission of those who understand homelessness, core housing need, or social housing, except one member.

Hi @OHomelessness I am a student at Wilfrid Laurier University. I am currently doing research on homelessness in Ontario and the current housing crisis. Could you speak about your impact on this issue?

Solution for homelessness.

This website addresses homelessness in Ontario. It provides province-funded programs to prevent and end homelessness, which is more important than ever in the current housing crisis.

With home prices sharply rising in southern-Ontario, the housing market is unaffordable and in turn, homelessness is skyrocketing.

Homelessness has dramatically increased over the past three years according to the latest survey conducted by the Region of Waterloo. https://t.co/19cfqPqHvi

From the past three lessons, I have learned how technology has positive and negative effects in which it aids in our learning, how different learning theories can be applied, and how much cognitive overload is present in millennials. #EM203Robin

@RBarkerEm203 Hi Reilly. I like your point about how much the digital age has advanced how society learns. Learning nowadays is so different than learning 20 years ago because of technology.

[Kamryn Sharpin @EM203KSharpin]

@EM203Colton Great tweet Colton! I have also enjoyed realizing the impact technology has on my learning, especially after learning online for the past year and a half. I look forward to more posts from you.

[Kamryn Sharpin @EM203KSharpin]

@KatherineMusch1 Hey Katherine. I appreciate your insight on the influence of media and I think it's a great idea for people to consider this and re-evaluate their technology usage, especially university students!

[Kamryn Sharpin @EM203KSharpin]

@EM203LBalkovec Hi Lucas, I find that the learning by doing style this course offers is a nice change from reading and reiterating the textbook like in other courses. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts this semester.

[Kamryn Sharpin @EM203KSharpin]

@Em203ParisJ Hi Paris, I think the distraction of social media has a lot to do with cognitive overload in millennials. Distractions can make it very difficult to process information. I'm glad you mentioned this!

[Kamryn Sharpin @EM203KSharpin]

Being a student, the first three weeks in this course has helped me appreciate learning in the digital age. Researching connectivism has shown me how technology has given our generation new opportunitiesto learn. #EM203Robin
