Engaging Topics


http://www.engagingscience.eu/en/
While this may be a science based website the topics that are discussed and used within learning could be relevant if viewed through a different lens (That of the Technologist) for example:

Design Ergonomics -  Case study: Text neck

 

Processing Technologies or Sustainable Practice - Case Study: Eating Insects


Lovely Grub - Ted talk

Processing Technologies or Sustainable Practice - Case Study: The Chocolate Crisis

 


Other than the three above there are pieces of work around Hydrogen Cars, Sugar in Coke and genetically Modified food. Regardless of wether you sign up and use the resources or just peruse for inspiration I am sure that there is plenty of rich technology practice that could be explored with your students.

Reflection: I am finishing this blog post with a request for you to view the profile of a modern teacher below and reflect on what characteristics you embody.
 or perhaps this piece of work by John Hattie depicts your professional Identity better.
