"In low-income countries, just over half of upper secondary schools have electricity and basic drinking water...only 37% have access to the #internet."
Current efforts to decrease the #educationgap aren't working. Time for a new approach... @HelloWorld_Org @FT @unesco #hellohubs

Hi, @profmphillips! Am currently working on an assignment that discusses how socioeconomic conditions affect academic success- Eager to hear what inspired you to become an advocate for classroom equality. Your passion is incredibly inspiring!

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

hi, @reubenjmiller! Would your insights on this- I am working on an assignment exploring how socioeconomic conditions impact academic success. Curious about any overlooked factors in this realm that don't get talked about enough? #achievementgap

This article by Nasdaq outlines AI and its risks/possible solutions. It also talks about how @elonmusk is concerned with the rise of AI which made me more interested in learning about AI

https://t.co/ZN1jURmzqT This organization discusses the importance of education (specifically for girls) and what is currently being done to push for universal schooling ex. UN's Sustainable Development Goal for Education

https://t.co/lwQUAWeC6p This article discusses the scientific evidence behind how socioeconomic status affects structural brain development. This can impact cognitive and social skills, leading to an influence on academic achievement. Super interesting read!

https://t.co/qidcT7Y9PZ This site discusses how the achievement gap can have a long-term impact on the youth, which is seen particularly in low-income communities. It negatively affects not only the students but their families and society as well. #em203research

@EM203NFerdman Enjoyed reading the concept map you created on education. Online education has created a digital divide which is an issue under your "access" topic. This is seen in countries like India, where many households don't have access to Internet services. #EM203problems

@lauralm168 Hey Laura, I totally agree with you!
The weekly activities offer a different learning approach than traditional university courses. I'm excited for the upcoming weeks and looking forward to making the most of this experience!

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

@EM203BYounker looking at your concept map on education, one issue associated with your sub-topic of "cost" is the funding gap on Indigenous Canadian reserves. Schools in reserves are federally funded, while other Ontario schools are provincially funded. #EM203problems

@EM203cleon39 I agree, the course structure is very unique and engaging! This is not what I expected from a digital-age course 😯😯

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

@EM203CharagB I am with you on that! The Twitter aspect of the course is a very creative approach to teaching students about digital learning, social media, and much more

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

@lang3430 Greetings! I agree, that lesson was very informative and interesting. I wonder how the next lessons will be formatted- hopefully just as fun as the first few

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

@EM203AKehal Haha! I learned I am not so good at multitasking as well! I like how these lessons make us discover the little parts of ourselves

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

@EM203JTu Glad you agree too, the unique learning style makes the course engaging for students! You get to really apply your knowledge and the content in each of the assignments/tasks. #EM203

[Laura Lam @lauralm168]

I did not expect the course content to be this engaging as an online course! I also enjoy completing the weekly activities - they are definitely a different approach to learning compared to most uni courses. Can't wait for the following weeks! #EM203robin #fun
