Welcome to Mr. Van Voorhis's Technology Education/Engineering web page. This page will help to show what happens in the Tech Ed classroom and list resources related to activities.
The goal of Technology Education/Engineering
is to develop Technological Literacy. The first step is to create a
heightened awareness of our technological society. This
will inspire students to take an active role in utilizing current technology
(tools, products, and processes) to help make their lives better. In
addition students develop an understanding (with the engineering
design process) of how they can identify opportunities to adapt
or create technologies to advance our technological society in a positive
direction, resulting in better lives for all of us.
The content for our studies is based on Strand 4 of the Massachusetts
Science and Technology Engineering Curriculum Framework. To view this document please
go to the Frameworks page. The learning
standards we engage are Materials, Tools, and Machines; Engineering Design;
Communication Technologies; Manufacturing Technologies; Construction
Technologies; Transportation Technologies; and Bioengineering Technologies.
This class directly prepares students for the Science and Technology
Engineering MCAS in which students will participate in the spring of
the 5th and 8th grade.
Please use the menu on the left side of the page to learn more about the class and the East Bridgewater Public Schools.
