Title: Product Technology Course
Overview: Students selected their own client and the product they wanted to develop. Teacher Steve Ronowicz introduced the class to case studies of successful products and the development process the technologists had worked through. Time was spent in the ICT suite to enable students to effectively manage their process and more easily provide evidence for NCEA assessment.
Focus Points:
- Skill progression through Years 9 - 13
- Developing a scaffold of practical skills and domain knowledge to support practice
- Considering case studies of the product development process
- Selecting a client and product opportunity
- Creating socially and environmentally responsible, technologically literate people
- Using ICT for efficient collection of evidence
