@_tiffanyny Hi tiffany! I found the topic of 3M’s interesting as well. It is important to realize that presenting information using a variety of media supports active learning in this digital age.
@EM203Erica Hi Erica! I agree that the use of technology makes learning more accessible. As a math undergrad, i clarify some topics using the internet, but it is really important to know where to find useful, valid information.
@KokkorosNick Hi Nick! I really enjoyed the lesson where we had to read about the different types of learning theories especially connectivism. It made me realize how the internet and technologies created various different information sharing methods that we use in our daily lives.
@OliviaGilbert99@KokkorosNick Hi Olivia! I also learned that technology plays a very important role in our daily lives! It gives us the ability of accessing important information about a certain question at a random moment.
@JosieThomson4 Hi Josie! In week 3, i also chose to learn how to play Sudoku. I had a bad start, but by reading the instructions and practicing, i believe i got so much better and faster in it compared to before. Would love to hear about the strategies that you used to develop the new skill!
The first 3 lessons of Em203 helped me learn more about the various learning theories such as connecticism. The course is full of enjoyable activities. This week, i learned about the 3 M’s and really liked the activity of learning a new skill! #EM203Robin
