Hello @snopes, I am student studying critical thinking and misinformation. I am curious, since Snopes is an organization dedicated to fighting misinformation on the internet, what is one tip you have for effectively teaching people to spot misinformation online?
A site that addresses my problem is https://t.co/O9HMZqjFXC. They are an organization dedicated to providing students with the skills they need to be news literate and identify misinformation/disinformation.
It’s #WorldSeagrassDay! Seagrasses are marine plants found in shallow waters that yield many benefits including habitats for fish and good water quality. There’s six species of seagrass in #Canada. It’s crucial to protect these plants due to their value below and above water. 🌊
@EM203JacobMur I agree that the first three lessons have been very informative, Jacob! I also enjoy the interactive discussions as a part of the course, as they allow me to expand further upon my own thoughts while also learning more about what my peers are thinking.
@em203Tmueller Learning about the 3 M's was a very interesting and informative lesson. I personally found the experiment regarding multi-tasking to be beneficial, as I always assumed that I was able to perform tasks at the same level whether or not I was multi-tasking.
@em203hendrulat Hi Hayley! I totally agree that learning how to use X as a part of EM203 has been a fun and engaging experience. I also like how it gives us a new way to connect with our peers and learn with them on a different level.
@EM203_Janeet I agree Janeet! Embracing multi-modal learning seems to be an effective way to support active learning for students. Personally, I have always found that a mix of verbal, written, and visual elements in learning have been beneficial to my comprehension.
@em203jrussell Hey Julia! I agree that the last three weeks have been interesting and taught me a lot about education. Teaching and learning with multi-media being beneficial for students was something I also found very informative.
Within the first few weeks of #EM203Robin, I have already learned plenty about learning theories and processes. Last week, I learned about the constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes that learners construct knowledge through experience and interactions.
