<DIV> Hi Michael,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As all our instructors are full-time D&T or VC&D teachers in schools, we cannot offer these courses (needing 12 hours of instruction) during the day in term time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have let our EO know of your preference. Perhaps we can offer 2 full days during a vacation some time in the future.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>David Fletcher</DIV>

<DIV>Hi to Design & Technology Teachers:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Technology Education Association of Victoria (TEAV) website shows spreadsheet of PD activities for Term 4.</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.teav.vic.edu.au/prof_dev">www.teav.vic.edu.au/prof_dev</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of these are early in the term and bookings will be required soon.</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>PRODESKTOP COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN COURSE (PD No. 6469)</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>SATURDAYS October 22 and 29 Mt Waverley (David Fletcher) $260</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Pro/DESKTOP is high quality 3D CAD software specifically produced for schools. PTC produces high-end "Pro Engineer" CAD software for large corporations but has made this ‘lite’ version available with a 300-site license to teachers free of charge through its Design and Technology in Schools program. To obtain this license, teachers simply undertake a basic two-day training program and complete a small CAD project to demonstrate competency. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Qualified teachers can then burn additional copies to GIVE to students to take home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Several recent exhibited student works in "Top Designs" (D&T and S&T) have used this easy-to-learn software in folios. The program is excellent for metalwork or woodwork toys and furniture design, product design, animated robotics and systems projects</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Further emphasis on CAD and CAD/CAM in the proposed revised course in VCE Design & Technology will make this skill even more valuable for your students.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Construct a SKATE-DECK (Fibreglass Skateboard platform !) PD No. 6470</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>SATURDAY October 29 Mt Waverley (Arthur Bersee) $154 (members) / $165</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This workshop follows on from Arthur Bersee's ''all hands on deck'' session at the 2005 conference. As Arthur says: "I think it is important to stress from the outset that for the people we want to engage through our tech stuff, skating is very serious stuff." The Skate Deck projects have empowered students throughout Arthurs school. Arthur has refined a mould and a manufacturing method which enables his students to construct their own skatedecks. His exhibition last year had students- made decks decorated by famous Australian artists. The session will begin with a brief introduction to the subtle complexities of skate decks. Arthur will then press a deck, after taking a previously pressed deck out of the press. Participants can then see how the blank is cut on the bandsaw and prepared for decorating. Each participant will be taken through the process of making a mould and how to use it to press a deck. There will also be an introduction to a variety ! of methods of decorating the decks.Participants will receive a list of suppliers and detailed and illustrated instructions.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>There will be discussion of the potential of Technology Glass to fulfil many of the VELs requirements, and ways that this can be readily integrated into coursework.There are many ways that the material glass can engage contemporary students. This is an appealing area to develop to help promote gender neutral content in Technology. Glass is a very appealing combination of technical and aesthetic that is achievable for the majority of students.Course participants will be making glass projects that can be applied in the classroom. Each person should be able to make at least one project per day, as well as accessing course notes, resources and curriculum that fulfils CSF requirements.
