<DIV>Hi to Design & Technology Teachers:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Technology Education Association of Victoria (TEAV) website shows

<DIV><A
href="http://www.teav.vic.edu.au/prof_dev">www.teav.vic.edu.au/prof_dev</A></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><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>

Waverley (Wendy van Megchelen )

equipping participants with enough skills to run Glass Materials in
their school for middle school and senior classes. </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. Participants will
take away a glass project that will also be useful as a teaching model.
All materials will be provided for a range of fascinating
projects.</FONT></DIV>
