@EM203joealto Hi Joe, as studying covid-19 over the years at university, I couldn't agree more with one of the root causes of vaccine hesitancy being misinformation. Information now is so easy to manipulate, and if as a society we can eliminate this we could solve this hesitancy problem.

What I was very shocked to see was that after such a short period of time I had so many impressions. Twitter analytics is something that I have never really used but defiantly will use more in the near future!

I have attached an article highlighting this issue.

When asked to identify a problem regrading the topic of the rising gap between classes. I found it appropriate to take a look at the rising situational issues regarding in this gap. For example the covid-19 pandemic is a perfect example of how job loss affects the lower classes.

This is an interesting image and it shows how the gap between classes are massive and growing every day #EM203Research #EM203Robin

Great concept map @EM203ZMostacci! One area you could go more in depth on is how the pandemic severely effected the wage gap with small businesses forced to shut down.

@EM203AFroment After reviewing your concept map, I have noticed you did not mention the change in rate during the pandemic can you elaborate on that #EM203problems

[Zachary Mostacci @EM203ZMostacci]

@DhesiEm203 I enjoyed reading your concept map. There is just a couple possible problems I could identify. 1. The first one is by doing COVID-19 you are referencing the pandemic effect rather then the virus its self. 2. physical health should include virus effects #EM203problems

@EM203AFung Hi Andrea, I too learned a lot in the first 3 weeks of the course. It is indeed interesting how the theory of connectivism impacts the way instructors teach in a virtual environment. Hope you have a great rest of the course!

@EM203_BRunciman Hi Ben, glad you are enjoying the first weeks of the course. I too find it extremely interesting how the use of massive online networks can be a form of learning. Hope you have a great rest of the term

@EM203AFroment Hi Alyssa, I am glad you enjoyed the topic on connectivism and how it impacts your ability in learning. I also find it interesting the relation that multi tasking has on memorization. I'm glad you learned how to knit! Might have to teach me someday!

@EM203GrantMans Hi Grant, I'm glad you have had a great time with the course so far. I too found the concept of collectivism to be an interesting topic!

[Zachary Mostacci @EM203ZMostacci]

@EM203_JuliaZ Hi Julia, I'm glad you are enjoying the first 3 weeks of the course! I too found interesting how there are various ways/ outlets of learning.

[Zachary Mostacci @EM203ZMostacci]

Weeks 1,2,3 of EM203 have been extremely interesting! Topics such as connectivism and how it is used in our education system has really opened my eyes up to different ways of learning.I also found conducting a memory experiment and learning a new skill mind altering. #EM203Robin
