@CK12Foundation In the #EM203 course at Wilfrid Laurier University I identified the issue of re-opening of grade schools in the USA, and would like an opinion from an expert.

Do you believe opening schools for students to attend is a plausible scenario in the coming school-year?

Ontario is still reporting new cases of COVID-19 https://t.co/p5TRZdJVQA
Solution: follow social distancing guidelines to reduce the spread of COVID-19

[Manav Desai @em203_manavd]

Solution? One can easily reduce their addiction to social media and their phones in general to live a fuller and a better life. https://t.co/TXrN2ZVpws

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

Solution: Students need to brace and better prepare themselves for online learning, reopening may not be possible at the time due to the upward trend of COVID-19 across the United States. Some students may find this info graphic useful for e-learning.

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

Problem: The United States is looking to reopen whole school districts due to "terrible" student results and threatening to cut funding of districts refusing to open during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reopening can have catastrophic results.

Interesting, promoting locally produced goods is great for the economy! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

If you’re looking for the best, shop Ontario-made products!

As our economy continues to reopen, let’s work together to rebuild our local business communities.

We are stronger together.

Digital technology has drastically changed the way people learn; while we benefit from easy access to quality academic resources, we are also burdened with overstimulation- possibilities for multitasking online are endless and damaging! #EM203Robin

@EM203Kashif Learning using multi media it incorporates multiple learning theories. This can be useful when teaching in a classroom setting where you may have learners that learn in different ways, exposing them to text, visualizations and audio. It's very interesting.

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

@EM203hamdan I agree Hamdan. Learning by doing has worked out for me as well, as I believe I learn a lot better when I am exposed to the situation. Learning how to do something by doing research and actually accomplishing that task can be super satisfying which in turn can be rewarding.

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

@em203_manavd Hey Manav. I agree that the internet helps a lot with spreading information and knowledge. A great example is using wikipedia to research topics you may not know about.

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

@EM203RyanP Yes, I also believe EM203 has been helpful in introducing new ideas, like for me it was the 'learning by doing' for example doing internships. After researching further I learnt more about cognitive learning theory and how learners focus more on connections.

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

@EM203CengizS I agree that this course encourages well versed discussions between classmates. I have found it helpful in understanding how my fellow peers think about topics from a different perspective and reading their responses in the discussion posts

[Basil Z @EM203_basil]

These past 3 weeks in EM203 I have learnt a lot about how people learn and how to teach people, in particular researching about how students "learn by doing" and why it's a very important aspect when it comes to even certain university-related programs. #EM203Robin
