This site is meant to show the work that is being done in my Technology Education classes and includes content like classroom resources, activities, assignments, and due dates. The website will be used during class as well for various projects. I'll post information pertaining to non-class related activities like: STEM club, Archery club, Tech & Stage Crew, etc. on the Google Classroom pages. Please use this website to your advantage!

A critical discipline in the delivery of technological literacy, which encourages the use of appropriate technology, develops the ability to solve problems, and creates lifelong learners with 21st century skills.
A systems-based approach utilizing mathematics, science, and technology principles to extend human capabilities.
Essential to STEM education through collaboration with physical and life sciences, engineering principles, and mathematics to ensure that emerging science and technologies are integral to P- 16 education.
A body of knowledge delivered by highly qualified teachers who can work collaboratively with other disciplines in education as well as with business and industry.
A course of study that excites students at all levels to learn about the human-made world and their roles in that world.
An essential part of general education for ALL students appropriate for P-16 levels, exhibiting authentic inquiry into general technological information for all learning abilities, stressing both career and post-secondary education options to diverse populations, providing relevance and rigor to learning, and enabling interconnectedness of thought thus closing the achievement gap.
A disciplined intellectual experience that stresses the comprehension of technology and its associated impacts on and demands for a technologically literate society.
Concrete experiences supporting abstract ideas and concepts to increase not only technological knowledge but also skills and attitudes, creative thinking, and character development.
Recognition of technological development as a driving force that will ensure: - The United States' leadership in technology development - United States citizens will live in a world civilization that understands, assesses, and manages technological systems and devices, and - The United States can participate, compete, and contribute to the global economy.
This materials processing module is designed to offer a generic and broad view of the
way humans change materials. The module differs from a traditional "unit" shop approach
in a specific material as various materials use similar processing techniques. For example,
separating ( cutting) is a generic concept. Ceramic, polymer, wood, metal, and composite materials are all separated, often by similar techniques, such as sawing.
The student will understand the significance of materials used by humankind.
How materials are changed and processed will be discussed and demonstrated.
Laboratory activities will be provided to reinforce the concepts of materials processing.
Student assignments will be found on Google Calendar and entered by students themselves this year. Students and parents should check Google Classroom pages for the most recent updates!
The web counter shows that few people actually visit this website after the first week of school. Future assignments should be found in the student's Google Calendar, Google Classroom page.
