However, 5 years ago I began to think about technology and its potential to revolutionize education.  One idea lead to another, and ended up with me applying to the MET program. That was then and now I am nearing the end of my journey with UBC.  This is my second last course!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>I have enjoyed all of my courses to date, but I am super curious about this one.
