    Welcome to Technology  with Mr Taha. I will be your tech teacher during 2022.

    This term you will be working on Designing and Developing a material/s outcome.

    Please bring your device to class each lesson.

    We will be using MHOL.

    All your Learning Intentions and Success Criteria and weekly tasks will be here on MHO and you will also find some of the activities on Google Classroom.

    We will start the term by learning about different materials and then will write our design brief to make a woodn tealight candle holder for our outside area.



    Firstly we will be looking at What Tech Education is about and learning some of the words and terms that you will come see and hear when working in the Technology rooms. Then we will start exploring diffrent hard materials used to make an outcome.


    * What is Technology and Technology Education ?

    * Technology Language

    * Codes of Practice - Safe use of the Tech rooms and tools and equipment.

    • Resistant materials

    Learning Intentions: 

    We are EXPLORING what Technology is and what Technology Education is about at MHJC.

    We are EXPLORING the terminology used in Technology Education 

    We are EXPLORING the Codes of Practice that we must follow when working in the Tech Workshop.

    Success Criteria: 

    I have participated in a discussion about Technology and Tech Education

    I can recognised the difference between a product from nature and a technological outcome

    I can identify a range of different technologies

    I understand the terms used in Technology Education

    I can identify safe codes of practice to follow in the Tech workshop

    Activities:

    1. Slide show - view this in class with your teacher.

    2. Language of Technology /Terminology 

    3- Technology student website.
