The key to combating Obesity in Canada is education!

In the first 3 weeks of this class, I learned that connectivism is a shifting phenomenon of knowledge and this learning theory is beneficial in a setting of “learning by doing” where an individual can actively experiment and conceptualize. #EM203Robin

Is a high number on the scale synonymous with unhealthy?

Turns out it’s complicated.

If we want to understand how obesity is related to health, we need to find reliable sources!

The techniques that can be implemented to combat obesity in North America should be on the level of the community, not exclusively on the level of the individual. Some examples of these solutions can be seen below!

@n_em203 Great concept map! Another important aspect to consider is the lack of education that individuals are receiving about how to combat obesity! Once educated, they could be more successful in making a change. #EM203Problems

[Adena @pers6570]

@EM203RTush great concept map on obesity in Canada! I think including some facts made your ideas more compelling on this issue!

[Avery Teal @EM203ateal]

Great job on your concept map! @EM203RTush Obesity in Canada is definitely a significant issue that's important to address as it effects many people. A problem associated with obesity is adolescences difficulty outgrowing obesity as they get older. #EM203problems

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

Great concept map @pers6570! It is important to consider that the individual dealing with their specific health problem may not know who to reach out to or may not feel comfortable reaching out and feeling vulnerable. #EM203Problems

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

Great concept map @EM203ateal! Pollution around the world comes from so many different sources it is definitely a challenge to control this! #EM203Problems

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

Great concept map @BreDouse! Those living with obesity may not have the resources to educate themselves on how to be healthy or know where to look for these resources! #EM203Problems

@gilmour_shawn I agree! This is a great time to learn about the different ways in which we can use technology to communicate and learn. The use of the different learning theories allows individuals to decide which style allows them to succeed!

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

@mast2580 I completely agree! I have realized that my learning is improved significantly when I practice learning by doing! This will be a very important tool to implement in my future schooling as well as life experiences in general!

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

@EM203dlouizos This was interesting to me as well! It is evident that those who grew up in world with technology and constant multitasking, succeed more in distracting environments compared to those who did not. Potentially this is from being trained to divide our focus?

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

@AmeliaNeo_EM203 I agree, it is very interesting how the flow of communication is constantly moving between different sources. I realize now how important it is for the learner to reflect and analyze each piece of knowledge they encounter!

[EM203RTushingham @EM203RTush]

@HANNAHEM203 This is also fascinating to me! It is really interesting to look at the different learning theories that are present today and how each individual implements a different theory to learn in a way that is best suited to them!
