Social media has a huge impact on body image. While we see a diversity of bodies in real life, platforms like Instagram seem to be filled with thin “influencers” who advertise diets, workouts & weight loss aids. These posts are misleading and harmful. #em203robin#em203problems

@EM203IRAY Hi Isabelle! I didn't have a twitter prior to this course but I can see how it is a great platform for active learning. I agree with you about the fact that it enables communication - it's definitely a great way for us to interact with our peers and access information.

@EM203celliott Hi Celina! Although I was somewhat familiar with the concept of learning by doing prior to this course, Bate’s text demonstrated how the theory can be applied in a digital age. Is learning by doing the learning theory you relate to most?
@NathanielMuel20 Hi Nate! Learning about the 3M’s was also my favourite lesson. Like you, I learned how to do a sudoku puzzle and thought it was very fun! I also enjoyed doing the multi-tasking experiment. I found that I was able to perform much better without any distractions. What about you?

When I first enrolled in EM203, I didn't really know what to expect...but the first few weeks of this course have been interesting and informative. I have gained knowledge about learning theories, the 3 M's and particularly how digital media has influenced learning. #em203robin
