@JenniSchaefer, with your knowledge about eating disorders, what can those struggling with an eating disorder do during this time to cope and stay on track during this pandemic?
Our challenge in #EM203 is to receive advice from an expert!
This weeks #EM203 challenge is receive some advice from an expert.
I’m asking @drmuhlheim from #EatingDisorderLA what those struggling with an eating disorder can do to help them to cope during this pandemic? Is it specific to each individual?
There is no universal solution for eating disorders, as they affect each individual differently. They take over the individuals' brain, therefore the solution is changing their own mindset. Here are a variety of healing terms that may help one struggling with an eating disorder.

Stress is at an all time high for students as we wrap up midterms and prepare for the end of the term. No matter what you’re going through, take time to remind yourself you are not alone & use the tools in front of you! #EM203Robin#EM203Research
Eating disorders affect all races and ethnic groups. They are very complicated and anyone who is affected by one is usually in denial. Hearing the experiences of others through media can promote awareness and support for those struggling. #EM203Robin#EM203Research
EM 203 has taught me innovative ways to utilize technology for learning purposes, different types of digital learning theories such as Behaviourism, the way information can be presented through media (audio, video, graphics, texts), and the term ‘digital literacy’. #EM203Robin
@DrobertsEm203 Social media technologies are definitely impacting the ways in which we learn in the digital age. Almost anything we need is available at our fingertips, we can spread important information quickly, and reach a wider audience. This is the connectivist way of learning.
@EM203etaylor I believe the internet has changed the nature of knowledge, primarily because the internet allows us to have an abundance of knowledge at our fingertips. I would have to say that the connectivist approach is my preferred learning style.
@Em203_THoogaars I am also a fan of the connectivist approach. It maintains the connections formed throughout the learning process. This reminds me of discussion posts in online courses because students create connections through commenting on each others posts, and can go back to them whenever.
@EM203hgraz I find it amazing how the same concept can be taught in various ways and that each individual can understand one
way better than the other. When you say 'utilize technology for learning purposes', it reminds me of the ALC and how it aids individuals that need accommodations.
@em203mlacasse I agree with your point that technology has enhanced the learning process. I find it helpful when I am able to see the profs lecture notes online and have that anytime, anywhere learning outside the classroom. #EM203Robin
The first 3 lessons have expanded my perspective on learning in the digital age, as well as the importance of incorporating it into the learning process. It has benefits such connecting to a bigger audience! Connectivism does this as it is associated with technology #EM203Robin
