WARNING IMAGES MAY OFFEND!

So yesterday after I blogged, I took my revised workbook to the copy shop to get a couple of copies bounded together. I had a quick flick through to see what it looked like and spotted about 20 things to be changed HA! I went home and worked on a 2nd revised workbook I also worked on it tonight and am feeling quite happy with how it looks now. Will print a couple of copies off and pass it around to some colleagues for feedback. Yesterday I also had quick chats with KP and CC about using moodle argggghhhhhhhh technology is a necessary evil...........I have decided that i will gather and create my teaching resources before I concentrate on using these online education systems. Doing this will enable me to give my undivided attention to moodle when the time arises.

LETTER BOX

I met with BC this morning to work on the letterbox project. I am hoping to implement this new project into the course. We had a really good session coming up with some concept drawings, discussing different methods of assembling the letter box. We are going to get the technician to whip up a few a pattern jigs on the C&C machine. This will allow the students to have accuracy when they mark out the front of their letterboxes. PE has used auto cad to draw up a rough working drawing for the letter box. Tomorrow I will meet again with BC to work on the application of the letter box and hopefully start building prototype letter boxes.

TABLE

After i finished with BC I went back to my workshop and continued on finishing the table prototypes had a good session taking some neat photos and video footage. JF came in and showed me some neat little tricks with the router and copy router bit.

These pictures are of the workshop that the students use, I have been doing all my practical development work in here and have not been tidying up afterwards HA!
