Hi! @CMA_Docs I was interested in the topic of type 2 diabetes, specifically in indigenous communities, and I was wondering if there is current research on programs that have been implemented to try to reduce these rates in indigenous communities? Thanks so much! #EM203Robin
Hi! @DiabetesCanada I was looking at the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in different groups and found that it was significantly higher indigenous communities. I was wondering if you can provide me with some reasons as to why this is the case? Thanks so much! #EM203Robin
To help limit air pollution and become less dependant on the oil industry we need to invest in electric options such as electric public transit in large cities. #EM203Robin

"Putin is now isolated from the world more than he has ever been ... he has no idea what's coming." President Biden addresses the Ukraine crisis, saying the US will close off its air space to Russian flights and seek to seize the assets of Russian oligarchs. #SOTU
This quote resonates with me since oftentimes, we feel as though we are not making enough progress in our work, relationships, etc. however, despite the defeating thoughts we may have, we should be proud of any progress we make in the right direction #EM203Robin#EM203Research
@EM203MRaphael Hey Maria, I certainly agree! During the time of COVID, the digital era has been able to continuously support continous learning. I wonder if there will be other ways online learning can be enhanced in the near future.
Hi Erika, I really liked your concept map! One problem I identified is that homelessness has become more prevalent during COVID-19 since many people were forced to shut down their businesses and lost their source of income or were let go from their jobs @em203ekim#EM203problems
Hi Chloe, I really liked your concept map and thought you included many important topics! One problem I identified is that diabetes is more prevalent among those who live in toxic food environment and don’t have access to nutritious foods @EM203cdavidson#EM203problems
Hi Abigail, I really liked your concept map and thought it was visually appealing! One problem I identified is that airborne diseases can be particularly common among those living in unsafe environments due to their low socioeconomic status @EM203AbigailM#EM203problems
@EM203aguerin Hi Angélique, I also enjoyed learning about the theory of constructivism. I like how this course employs some of its principles such as the importance of interactions in learning. This course has also allowed us to apply this theory through the discussion boards on myls!
@EM203CCOTE Hi Christina, I completely agree, there has been both positive and negative effects caused by technology. I can also relate to spending a lot of time on social media, especially during the pandemic when it felt like there was nothing else I could do sometimes.
@EM203NGottlieb Hi Nyla, I completely agree with you as well! This class has definitely been very engaging and interactive. I like how we’ve had the opportunity to engage in many activities and discuss our thoughts with others. I’m exciting for the rest of this course as well!
@EM203_HYOKICH Hi Hanna, I completely agree with you! A lot of times people focus on the negative impacts of the media however, it has provided many positive impacts in education and has revealed new ways of learning. I also felt like I learned more about which learning approach best suits me!
@EM203YChen Hi Yuxin, I completely agree with you. I think learning by doing, and engaging in interactive activities and discussion has been a very effective learning approach that I have not yet seen being applied in many of my classes thus far. I’m excited to explore this approach more!
Throughout the course so far, the main focus has been on learning in a digital age. I had the opportunity to learn about various learning theories and the ways they can be implemented both in the classroom and in online learning. Looking forward to future lessons! #EM203Robin
