Life as a Rōnin: ETEC 590
​Graduating Project

Picture
Rōnin are masterless Samurai. But life need not be pointless after our service is done. Unbound from duty to a master, a Samurai is free to walk his own path. The free time also affords him the chance to look back upon his own life, his successes and failures, and decide a future that utilises his strengths and minimises his weaknesses. As a Rōnin I reflected on the path that had brought me to where I am and planned the road ahead as an independent warrior. 
The Graduating Project of ETEC 590 was the consolidating course in the MET program. It required me to return to all my past projects and look at them as a complete whole. This website is the result of that coalescence. Upon graduation, like a Rōnin, I will be freed from service and compelled to follow my own path. However, the learning, training, and service of the MET program would help me upon whatever road I choose.
It has been an incredible journey these past two and a half years. I have learned so much that it is hard to quantify. This is compounded by the changes that continue in the realm of technology and education. However, I think the MET program has given me the skills to tackle educational technology issues as they continue to develop. The program was not about the technical skills that will grow obsolete as the technologies they rely on fall out of service. The frameworks, philosophies, and pedagogy we studied will apply to any area where people are being taught or media is being consumed. That being said, I have also gained a level of comfort taking on new technical challenges, an ease that would not exist without the regimen of production activities demanded by this program.
