Previously, I was actively engaged in: 511, 512, 520, 530, 532, 540, and 565. I have been mindfully selecting courses applicable for educators. All of these courses continued to pique my interest about learning technologies. This program supported my goal to build a firm academic understanding of emergent issues and insights about technology, pedagogy and education. More specifically, I am interested in the use of New Media such as VR for education. Recently, I am interested in learning about the technological landscape of <a href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/page\/EWK13KXVeZFQ4\/\">emergency responses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Through 533, I hope to continue develop a pedagogical-sounded understanding of technological issues and tools related to math and science. I am curious about designing technological learning experiences. I am hoping to curate tools to support students while engaged in math and science related tasks.<\/p>\n<p>To peers, I am known as a skilful photographer and avid traveller. Given my geological advantage, I am travel frequently throughout Southeast Asia. My recent adventures entail a ride in a hot air balloon in Myanmar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4259\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/files\/2018\/01\/IMG_3633-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/files\/2018\/01\/IMG_3633-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/files\/2018\/01\/IMG_3633-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/files\/2018\/01\/IMG_3633-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/stem2018\/files\/2018\/01\/IMG_3633-620x465.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
