Hello @mentalhealthph, I am a student at Wilfrid Laurier University. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your thoughts on ways/strategies that we can use social media to improve our mental health rather than destroy it.

As a fifth year student finishing her undergrad, most of my friends I made in first year graduated and have experienced mental health issues post graduation. I think its important for university students to read before or even after graduating! #EM203

Currently in the third week of EM203 and have been loving the course so far! Learning the ways in which various digital technologies and social media platforms can be of use for collaborative and creative learning. Excited for the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin

#EM203Robin #EM203Research when looking at the effects that social media has on mental health FOMO plays a large role in creating internet addiction, harmful comparison, and disconnect

[Raj's Odyssey @RajOdyssey]

How to treat #FOMO (Fear of missing out)?
This feeling is often associated with the use of #socialmedia, where users are constantly exposed to updates and #information about other people's activities and #experiences which leads to an overuse of electronic devices.

@EM203atse Hi Andrew, that is super impressive that you were able to knit that with chopsticks and I'm glad you included a picture for us to see, well done!

@EM203JHanna Hi! As we are moving through this course I have also enjoyed learning about the different ways we engage with online and digital learning as well as being able to make the connection to the real world

[Simone @EM203sshanks]

@EM203EStransky Hi Erin, it definitely has been interesting to explore the different learning styles and how they differ in an online environment. Like you, I also took interest in the learning theory of connectivism!

@EM203ltomas Hi Lindsay, I agree the first three lessons have been quite fun and I am also enjoying the interactivity of this course!

[Simone @EM203sshanks]

@em203digiallon Hi Erica, I also have been having fun in this course and engaging in the learning theories for our digital age. I also chose to learn how to solve a difficult sudoku puzzle last week which was quite ambitious of me as I haven't even tried an easy puzzle before!

[Simone @EM203sshanks]

These past three weeks in #EM203Robin have been very fun and engaging. I've enjoyed learning about digital natives, the different types of teaching and learning in a digital age, and even exploring how to do a sudoku puzzle! Looking forward to the rest of the semester!
