A nationwide survey reveals that between six and ten percent of Canadian children suffer from some form of anxiety. This is the fastest growing mental health concern that is ironically caused by anxiety in parents.
Dr. Brenda Kenyon, director of the University of Guelph’s Center for Psychological Services, suggests:
anxious parents, and to a lesser extent exposure to violent video games, and less tolerance in society for displays of emotion, are largely to blame.
Fortunately, medicating an anxious child is not the answer and instead:
“In all childhood anxiety disorders, there is a 70 per cent success rate for cognitive behavioural therapy,”
While this timeline is not comprehensive and I can think of alternative items to include, it does provide enough of a perspective to help us understand how far we have progressed with online learning.

Edudemic’s Teacher’s Guides to Technology and Learning offer a really good starting point on the following teaching and learning approaches, technologies, resources and social media tools:
- Flipped Classroom
- Copyright and Fair Use
- Google Glass
- Badges in Education
- Library of Congress
- Keeping Students Safe Online
- Choosing the Best Digital Content
- Digital Scavenger Hunts
These guides do have a K-12 focus many of the ideas can be used in higher education. Futhermore, these guides are NOT as comprehenvise as Ann Hart’s Center for Learning and Performance Technologies but they do provide a visually appealing starting point for anyone interested in using technology to enhance the learning environment.
