My Students

My students are amazing. They are constantly coming up with new and innovative ways to create projects. Students work in groups to complete projects and rotate supervisor positions to help manage their individual skills.

My students are eager to explore the world and technologies in the classroom.

In my classroom my students live by the quote, "Design. Build. Transform." We are always looking for new and innovative ways to explore technology and the world around us. I teach middle school Technology Education to all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. We are a public school. There are approximately 120 students in each grade level. Technology Education classes are required for all grades. We also offer two elective classes for 7th and 8th grade students.

My Project

Students will work in groups to use the design process to create new and innovative solutions to problems. When they are in the beginning stages of the design process they usually just draw up ideas. The play doh will allow them to build a model. It will help them explore engineering and design. This will allow them to utilize the design process from beginning to end.

Students do not have much space to explore Technology Education or many resources.

By giving them this opportunity you will be helping them to create and explore engineering and design.
