Hello David, thanks for the info regarding upcoming PD courses.
Is there any possibility of ProDesktop PD being available at times other
than weekends? This is a very limiting factor despite being very
interested in the program.

inTerm 4.
Hi to Design & Technology Teachers:
The Technology Education Association of Victoria (TEAV) website shows
spreadsheet of PD activities for Term 4.
www.teav.vic.edu.au/prof_dev
Some of these are early in the term and bookings will be required soon.
PRODESKTOP COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN COURSE (PD No. 6469)
SATURDAYS October 22 and 29 Mt Waverley (David Fletcher)
$260
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.
Qualified teachers can then burn additional copies to GIVE to students
to take home.
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
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.
Construct a SKATE-DECK (Fibreglass Skateboard platform !) PD No. 6470
SATURDAY October 29 Mt Waverley (Arthur Bersee)
$154 (members) / $165
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.
MATERIAL - GLASS WORKSHOP PD No. 6471
SATURDAYS November 12 and 26 Mt Waverley (Wendy van Megchelen )
$275 (2 days)
This is a combined introductory and intermediate course, equipping
participants with enough skills to run Glass Materials in their school
for middle school and senior classes.
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.
