What is Industrial Technology and Technology Education?
Industrial Technology classes provide students with an opportunity to explore many of the new technologies that will effect them in their daily lives. Students work individually and in pairs in learning modules that are self-directed. Computers, and a Smart Board are used as tools for group instruction and interactive learning. Computers are used for receiving instructions and students work cooperatively in completing the assigned task. The Itech computer lab is set up so the students use the equipment provided, reference materials, and the text, Technology Interactions to complete each of the learning modules. The fabrication lab includes hand and power tools as well as welding equipment to offer the students a variety of hands on experience. Each module culminates with a student constructed activity which may be a print out, drawing, model, or project made of wood, plastic or metal. The modules may last from five to fifteen days.
