Master's In Educational Technology

I recently completed a master’s degree in Educational Technology at the University of British Columbia—a journey that grew out of a long-standing curiosity about the role of technology in teaching and learning. My interest was first sparked during my teacher education program, when I encountered a school that mandated the use of technology in every science lesson. As someone who has always loved tinkering with machines and exploring new tools, I was excited by the possibilities—but also skeptical. Could technology truly enhance learning, or was it just a shiny add-on? I’ve always believed that great teaching is fundamentally human, and no device can substitute for an excellent educator.

This tension between optimism and skepticism shaped my academic path. My early inquiry projects explored how technology choices are made, how their impact can be meaningfully evaluated, and whether digital tools can fundamentally reshape what education looks like. The MET program allowed me to investigate these questions in depth—examining not just how technology is used in classrooms, but how it might transform them. The work featured here reflects that exploration: a blend of critical reflection, practical application, and a continuing search for how technology can genuinely enrich math and science education.

These are some examples of the projects I worked on during the program. They explore a range of situations, applications and formats. Click on the image to be taken to the work itself.

Behaviourism

This group project explored the theory and applicaiton of behaviourist theory in education. Beyond it's historical roots, modern applications persist in areas ranging from the International Baccalaureate methodology to AI model training.

Electronically Assisted Astronomy

Modern technology allows amateur astronomers to achieve astounding results. This page explores how mobile technology has aided this trend, and how astronomy can link with education and citizen science.

3d Printing

I've always enjoyed making things, and 3d printing has brought many interesting new possibilities. This blog post is a meditation on the how and why 3d printers can impact education.

eLearning in Bhutan

Large scale technology initiatives involve objectives, planning and execution. This was analysis of recent eLearning initiatives in Bhutan.

Problem Based Learning

Exploring techniques to bring constructivist methodology into teaching, this page was built as an online, interactive workshop for teachers to explore problem based learning in education.

DIY Learning

In the spirit of life-long learning, we explored how open access to technology and information has empowered independent learning. In ways this can be a supplement, complement or addition to a more traditional education experience.
