Hi @EdWeekOpinion ! I am a 4th year student at WLU researching barriers to students learning. Do you view having access to technological resources as a necessity to a student’s success? Do you think inaccessibility to these resources plays a negative role on a student’s learning?

Hi @CarolCampbell4 ! I am a 4th year student at WLU, I am researching barriers to students’ learning. What is something within the education system that you think could be modified and/or changed to help students strive towards more effective learning?

Tidal energy is a type of renewable energy created to reduce GHG emissions. Although expensive to initially set up, tidal energy can create a large amount of power. However, along with all other renewable energy sources, there are disadvantages that come along with it as well.

Lack of funding within the education system plays a huge role in many different aspects of a student's learning, such as programming, support, and especially access to technology as seen in this cartoon #inequality #EM203Robin

This website discusses ways for students to overcome learning barriers that may be present in the educational setting, ideas about lesson planning and scaffolding are mentioned. #EM203Robin https://t.co/B1wHakGNEj

[Canadian Museum for Human Rights @CMHR_News]

Most years, the Museum lights the tower red to celebrate #CanadaDay. That won’t happen this year. The Museum is leaving the tower orange to honour the survivors of Indian residential schools, their families and the children who did not return home.

It is so important to create an environment where teachers can relieve stress as their stress can easily trickle down and have a negative impact on students #EM203Research #EM203Robin

[Education Week @educationweek]

Teaching was already a high-stress job before the pandemic, but this school year has compounded the problem.

Now, 78 percent of teachers said they experience frequent job-related stress, a new survey found. https://t.co/gVtV4HwCHJ

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

It is so important that a student's overall well-being is taken into account when addressing their learning, being aware of different factors and individualizing students can help to remove possible barriers https://t.co/Am0IiMcb7B #EM203Research

@EM203MMorris One issue you could look at is the gender inequality in girls education that takes place in third world countries. There are 132 million girls out of school. #EM203problems

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

Connecting to your idea of mental health in education, I think that students may sometimes also feel like a number rather than a person, which makes it difficult to succeed, more one-on-one teaching and check-ins are often lacking! @EM203jnegri #EM203problems

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

Connecting to your ideas climate change also has major impacts on glaciers melting due to greenhouse gas emissions @KhushiChugh15 #EM203problems

COVID-19 & the loss of jobs has also played a huge role in making housing unaffordable in the GTA... with the housing market prices on the rise, the increase in the unemployment rate definitely hasn't helped @EM203BDosanjh #EM203problems

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

@Hal34162888 I definitely think that classes like this, where we are doing things differently than the norm, are the ones that will stick with us!

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

@EM203AKocher Love this! A great way to get your brain thinking & continue to expand your learning/skills.

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

@stephenham_ I think that the combination of different mediums and contexts definitely has the strongest effect in education, as all learners take different approaches and it’s awesome that those options are available!

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

@BellaEM203 The learning activity was super fun & nice to experience something different from the norm! Kudos to you for choosing this challenging one, not sure how well my take would go haha!

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

@Em203Khan I couldn’t agree more! What a pleasant surprise it has been & I cannot wait to continue learning!

[Mackenzie Morris @EM203MMorris]

I find this class so interesting and different from the norm, doing tasks such as tweeting makes it so engaging and I find it to be a very modern take on education! #EM203Robin
