Technology Learning Story.

Technology Learning Story.

“Technology is coming up”. “12:30 to 2:30 on Thursday”.”Can’t wait, Yay!!!”.

Every thursdays we go to Brandon Intermediate to learn different activities, we call it ‘Technology’. There is different groups for example Music, Hard Material, Cooking, Sewing and Art.

My first group was Hard materiel. In hard material we have been trying to make a box. We started making them in week 3. The purpose of making a box is to put our belongings in it.

In hard material I was good at asking my peers if they needed help because on Thursday I asked Aria if she needed help with her box because she looked like she was struggling. The K.C skill I used was relating to others.

Things that I found hard was remembering the tools/equipment because the tools had difficult names that I couldn't remember like block plane. In hard material the tool that I was struggling with the most was the block plane. I haven’t used a block plane before but I stepped out of my comfort zone and never gave up.

If your wondering what a block plane. Well a block plane is a small woodworking hand plane which typically has the blade bedded at a lower angle than other planes, with the bevel up. A bevel up allows you to change the angle of attack of your tool by honing a different angle on your cutting edge It is designed to cut end grain and is typically small enough to be used with one hand. A block plane is a hard tool to use but it might not for some people.

In Hard Material I learnt lots of stuff. I learned how to use different equipment for example:

• Sand paper,
• Block plane,
• Set square,
• Marking gage,
• Hammer.

My next step is to try things by myself instead of asking the teacher to do it. For example if I have to use the block plane I should be confident and try doing it instead of asking Mr Pillar which is our teacher to do it.

My advice for those who don’t like using tools is to not be afraid of what your gonna use because your going to learn new things and how to use them.
