Say Hello to Our MET Squad!
Hey there, future SEL wizards! We're an awesome team of four graduate students from the Masters of Educational Technology (MET) program at the University of British Columbia and we're so happy you're here!
Our team wishes to acknowledge that MET offices and servers are hosted on the UBC Vancouver campus, and that the land on which this campus is situated is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations. As guests on this beautiful land, MET faculty and staff consider it a privilege to work and learn here.
Together we're on a mission for our ETEC 510 class - Design of Technology-Supported Learning Environments. It's not just a project for us; it's a chance to dream up amazing ways to learn and grow using tech.
We're like a bunch of explorers, discovering cool ways to make learning super fun with technology!
Ready to meet each of us? Together, we're turning ideas into reality, all while having a blast.
Let's go!
