The site I used to conduct research related to the epidemic of youths mental health is from the American Psychological Association. This is an excellent academic site as the DSM-5 is derived from this source. #EM203Research
The problem that I identified in my concept map, was the increased prevalence of mental disorders within students, particularly those pursuing post secondary education. #EM203problems
@G20aaliya I agree! I am having so much fun engaging in my academics through a different means of communication and expression. Iβm definitely interested to learn more.
@EM203Helena Hi Helena! Iβm really excited to see how the media can influence our learning and act as a means of communication. I think exploring these avenues of learning can enhance student engagement and motivation.
@EM203ABilodeau Hi Anatastia! The point you brought up about technology promoting accessibility was something I havenβt thought much about before! I am glad students with different needs can access this information and knowledge in ways that are more suitable for them.
@arujan_s Hi Arujan! In my opinion I think the way the internet has influenced education has both positive and negative aspects. However something I enjoy is how easy it is to collect information and learn new ideas through the internet, rather than going to a library π
@WLUJaack Hi Jack! Iβm glad you brought up the topic of cognitive overload. While as students we tend to engage in frequent multitasking, it is important to balance time and efforts to enhance productivity and efficiency.
Technology advancements have a lot of implications on the brain, including the way we process new information through our learning. For example, Gen Z grew up with an influx of information at their fingertips through the cell phone, decreasing their attention span! #EM203Robin
