Below I'm displaying a timeline of events which are part of my experience in the MET program at UBC. You can either use the right or left arrows to move the timeline, or you can click and drag the timeline either left or right to view the major events. If you click on an event title, a brief inline pop-up will display which describes the event in more detail.

Quotations

Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think; it is the acquisition of many specialised abilities for thinking about a variety of things

Lev Vygotsky

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Mark Twain

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Jean Piaget

If I know you're very good in music, I can predict with just about zero accuracy whether you're going to be good or bad in other things.

Howard Gardner

Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.

Roger Lewin

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

Socrates

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

Albert Einstein

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.
