Teaching Snapshots

This section provides an opportunity for teachers to share ideas they have successfully used in their classroom practice. It includes: strategies for delivering a particular aspect of the Technology curriculum, activities which have engaged student interest, resources used in the classroom, interaction with the wider community, and promotion of Technology education/subject areas.

The Teaching Snapshots are single page items which give a brief description of anything related to Technology education/classroom practice. Snapshots might look at details of a year-long programme, describe a simple strategy which anyone could put into place immediately, explain how a particular piece of equipment was used during a lesson, provide a solution to a specific issue or comment on a successful collaboration.

The aim is to build up a cache of ideas/activities/approaches which teachers can refer to as a knowledge base, that could be adopted or adapted, and which could be used as a point of inspiration for the continued development of their own practice.

Teachers: if you have any good ideas, strategies or examples of good practice that you think other teachers may be interested in, please email the Techlink team Techlink@techlink.org.nz with your contact details and we will arrange to get in touch.
