One of the stigma’s around mental health, especially for young adults in university is that people are embarrassed to voice their thoughts and feelings. This infographic provides useful tips on how to try and overcome that idea. #EM203Robin #Em203research

@EM203sheenashah I really like your ideas in your mind map! I think you could look at alternate energy systems like wind energy for heating and cooling systems.

@christinenEM203 I really liked your mind map Christine! I think a good topic to explore that relates to health would be the support universities provide with regards to students mental and physical health.

@EM203_VDasilva Hi Vanessa, I have also learned the importance of the digital age and am looking forward to seeing how it evolves. It’s ability to connect people all over the world is amazing and I’m excited to learn more about it!

@em203alia Great point Alia! I also found that I am not very good at multitasking, even though I catch myself doing it all the time. It's interesting that it's become such a common thing nowadays even though it's proven that we're less productive when we do it!

[EM203 Alex Quirke @Em203Q]

@EM203NRudel Great points Nicole! I completely agree that the world is more connected than ever before. As the evolution of technology continues it will be exciting to see what new ways we will be able to connect in!

Learning new skills like how to Tango or how to sing in German, has become easier and faster than ever. This course has showed us so far how interconnected the world can be thanks to technology and how we can use it to learn, teach and connect with the world around us #EM203Robin
