THECNOLOGY SOLVES THE PROBLEM

Technology:

process sheet :

Is the coordinated application of knowledge and skills, to find

solutions which satisfy our needs and solve our problems.
Es la aplicacin coordinada del conocimiento y habilidades para
encontrar soluciones que satisfagan nuestras necesidades y resuelvan
nuestros problemas

The quantity of each material

calculations and quotationQuotation: We multiply the

Price of each material by the
quantity we will used
then we add the results to
arrive the final cost

individual analysis and solution for the problem
brainstorming and making group decision

verification and evaluation

1. NEEDS: what solutions can you think of?

2. INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION FOR THE
PROBLEM
3. BRAINSTORMING AND MAKING GROUP DECISION
each person presents their proposal :
we choose one of them
we decide the best solution
We think of a solution to this problem and draw a simple
plan for it
4. PLANNING: We finalise the plans of project
working plans

Project
a series of questions and issues about
working procedures, human resources
and timing

CONSTRUCTION:
we may have problems that didnt anticipate,
we can record these problems on an incident sheet
VERIFICATION AND EVALUATION:
to check the object buildings the requirements
verify the impact of our project on

economy
society
environment

ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR TECHNOLOGY

physical tools

we need tools during the construction stage of the project

to
to
to
to

measure, to draw, to mark

cut , to saw, to perforate
nail, to screw
join, to fasten

IT tools
it: information technology

we can use IT at various stages of the project

word processors and spreadsheets: to prepare texts

documents, quotations, tables.
computer graphics program and tools: to make
simple drawings or detailed plans
presentation programs : to present the concept of a
project
database programs: to organise and manage large
quantities of data

ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE WORKSHOP

Workshop:

is a special type of classroom

where we can put technology into practice

Workspace:

Its the place where students work on different tasks

tools : we can organise and identify them using
colour codes
materials: we keep then in small storerooms
projects: we keep them in shelves

ADVERTISING AND CONSUMPTION

Is an area where we keep different types of documents related to

projects

Companies develop products to meet consumer demand.

Companies sell them at higher price than their manufacturing
cost to make a profit
advertising campaigns can be aggressive and the consumer
often buy products that they dont need.
there is a constant demand and usually a stable price for
normal or necessary goods
its very important to be critical when faced with pressure
from advertising

work groups:

IMPACT ON THE ENVIROMENT

students work in groups

each student has a specific role and must assume a
responsibility

Industrial activities derived from technological advances have

caused serious environment problems

Documentation:

pollution: the impact of substances and human activities

that are damaging the environment
exhausting of natural resources and raw materials

social inequalities between countries and regions
