7th Grade Technology Education

            Over the next few weeks we will be looking at several areas of technology.  We will be looking at lab safety, wood working, robotics, and problem solving process.   In doing this, we will have some paper work, some hands on work, and a lot of fun!

             All assignments done in this class will be assigned points. At the end of the term, all points will be totaled up and graded according to the percentage scale in Skyward.  Mr. Dorn reserves the right to alter any grades as necessary to ensure that safety and morale are rewarded.

Each student is expected to participate and treat each other and shop materials with respect.  Attendance is crucial to succeed, as hands on activities will be a bulk of your grade. There is zero tolerance for cheating.  If there is a lack of respect or a discipline problem, parents will be contacted and further consequences will occur, as well as Mr. Dorn reserves the right to do whatever is needed to ensure the safety of the student or other students to ensure the safety of everyone.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
