Technology Learning Story

                         Technology Learning Story
The first time I started Technology, I thought that it will find it hard for me because there might be dangerous stuff in the rooms and I wouldn’t know what to do.


The group that I was in, is Hard Materials with Mr Pillar. He told us about the rules and how the tools work. Here  are the most important rules about hard materials:
  • Listen carefully to all the instructions
  • No running around
  • Be careful with the tools and know how to use them
  • No tapping on the tables


Mr Piller is a great hard materials teacher because he always helps us when we are stuck on something hard or something dangerous.


The first thing we build was our carving we used this tool called a chisel and a mallet it looks kind of dangerous for us because of the sharp V at the front and the mallet when you try and bang bang it might hurts your fingers.


Me and J.D were very careful with the chisel and the mallet and we tried to help others a little bit. We had to hit it softly and not too hard so that we could keep a straight line.

When I made the whizzer I was drawing a star shape on my skinny board and cut it out with a dangerous machine it made a bad sound like ( zzzzzzzzzz seeeeee ) it very loud and noisy the next thing we did was sand it and make a hole to put the strings in and big holes to put nothing in it. Lastly, we used a burner to engrave our patterns and writing on our whizzer.
