Week 7 post: 30% of Canadian adults have been identified as obese within the past few years. Barriers to healthy food and exercise are beyond the hands of the individual. I believe that it is time to look at how the government’s policies are at play. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

Hi @DrPlantel, based on the statement you have here, I was wondering if you have any insight into Canada's current rise in obesity and any misconceptions that come with this topic for my peers and me.

Telling someone to lose weight without helping them or guiding them on how to do that is like telling someone to build a house without giving them tools, then judging them for being homeless.

Hi @DrPlantel! I was wondering if you could explain some of the misconceptions regarding the causes of rise of obesity in Canada. It would be a great help as I am looking to research more into this trending issue.😀

This was a picture I found on the Government of Canada website relating to the issue of rising obesity rates in Canada by demonstrating how it's increased and how we can bring these numbers down. #EM203

This picture represents an upstream solution to this issue, as Canada has started to provide more recreational/ green spaces in places that have little access to them.

@EM203Nataly Defined Problem: Personal and government factors contribute to rising obesity rates in Canada. This focuses on how social & environmental factors like lack of physical activity infrastructure, marketing of unhealthy food, etc., play a role in obesity. #EM203problems

@EM203AJacob I agree! I find that by being able to discuss with our peers, we discover different perspectives on how content is perceived which enhances our learning!

[Nataly Morales @EM203Nataly]

@AyseAras203 It's kind of crazy how each generation becomes more reliant on technology as time passes. But what this course has taught me so far is how although this is true, technology is a big part of learning strategies now that can further develop thinking skills.

[Nataly Morales @EM203Nataly]

@Gurleen85785511 I think that this is a very important aspect to consider with learning styles. I find that some people like a little noise to study while others require complete silence to focus. Overall it was a very interesting experiment!

[Nataly Morales @EM203Nataly]

@Em203Kavi Hi Kavi! I agree that this class is very interesting as it also brings you to make connections to the content. I find that multi-model learning is very effective as someone who is a visual and kinesthetic learner.

@em203kfiolleau This is so funny! I tried this too and learned that although it is a little pricey, it's worth learning something new. Who knows, maybe now you can master the technique and teach others how to make a matcha latte in the best way!

[Nataly Morales @EM203Nataly]

This class has taught us how technology is not all bad, it enhances creativity and opportunity for collaborating with others!
Constructivism ties into this! Successful learning is based on:
-Personal connection to content 🤔
- Collaboration 👯‍♀️
- Self Reflection 🧐
