@CAMHnews How often do you encounter calls about social media addiction? Do you think people tend to overlook it because it’s so common? What strategies would you suggest for using social media in moderation, and could approaches used for other addictions work too?

[Omar E.B @EM203OmarEB]

@AMHOnt What do you think about social media addiction? Should we treat it as seriously as substance or gambling addiction? And do you think there should be age-based restrictions to help reduce its impact?

wicked phenomenon, yes? but, you know, it’s not any more “evil” than, say… fire. it all depends on your point of view. try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement.

So far I am enjoying #EM203Robin I love learning about many teaching methods and this has been the most unique class I have taken so far in university. I find the learning-by-doing method very effective!

[Omar E.B @EM203OmarEB]

@EM203AgshayaB I agree with how lucky we are to have easy access to information, at this point you can learn an introductory level to almost anything with a quick Youtube search.

[Omar E.B @EM203OmarEB]

@Anthony3379285 I think at this point social media and x have become our modern day newspaper, and I think that's why the courses emphasis on it is actually so critical.

[Omar E.B @EM203OmarEB]

@Elizabethsbonil When it comes to social media technology, I hate that the unfortunate reality is that it is owned by companies that are paid to keep us online. Which comes with the consequences of it being tailored to what attracts our attention the most, making it so addictive.

[Omar E.B @EM203OmarEB]

@AkhilBhuta16429 I agree, I find learning by reading alone to be quite difficult, I find what helps me best is images with examples, videos with step by step instructions, and most importantly a person who can answer my questions. I like to learn the course material with a text to speech plugin.

@light_x0101 For week 3 I tried to learn how to do the poker chip/coin roll across your knuckles, easier than singing a song in a different language for sure, got a new desk fidget though!

While learning in #EM203Robin I started thinking more about the impact of technologies on how we learn. Two of my thoughts are how amazing and underappreciated immediate access of knowledge is, and how destructive short form information can be to our attention span.
