What Next?
Planning for 2007 will begin at the November meeting with L1 technology teachers. Depending on what the meeting reveals, the course may be modified, but Doug intends to retain the functional modelling approach. One thing that will be changed is the format of the students' workbooks. Doug intends to switch from A4 format to the larger A3 size, giving students more space for diagrams and text. He also intends to visit the furniture designer earlier in the course rather than later, as was the case this year, in order to show students a 'real world' application of what they are being asked to do in the classroom.
More guidance for students in their choices of technology courses at year 12.
"As the technology department works through the school's strategic plan we will continue to revise and review this course."
