Design
             Technology
              in Primary
                 Schools
                      A Presentation by
Sheila (Shai) Coggins, Tiffany Dayman ,
      Rachelle Kennedy, Stacey Cooper
The Idea
The group asked: What are the
different technologies that affect
the way students attend primary
schools over the years?

Favourite answer: The wheel!

(Shoes came second, so we decided
to use shoeboxes for our exhibit.
)
What about the wheel?
•The evolution of the wheel
happened over many years. It is not
a new idea.
•Its use is not confined to a
particular nation or country and it
benefits all genders.
•It affects modes of transportation
and other inventions (spinning
wheels, etc).
•It shows that technology is about
improving the human condition.
Off to school with no wheels…
The Walking
         Solution
        • Without wheels and
 transportation, students need to
         walk to school.


Great              Not-so-Great

Live near school   Live far from
                   school
Fine day           Rainy or too hot

Light bags         Heavy bags
Development of the Functional
            Wheel…
  “This is too heavy…”
 Humans realised that objects
  may be carried easier and
  faster when a round object is
  placed under it and the object
  is rolled over it…
 Discovery of sledge and log
  rollers…
 Humans used several logs or
  rollers in a row, dragging the
  sledge over one roller to the
  next…
If students had to go to school in
      sledge and log rollers…
The Sledge + Log
  Roller Solution
• Not so simple for long journeys.
   •Not a viable transportation
        solution for humans.
  • Humans discovered that with
time, the sledges started to wear
    grooves into the rollers. The
grooved rollers worked better, as
    they carried objects further.
    • Rollers became wheels and
    humans cut away the wood
between the two inner grooves =
  Invention of the first primitive
                axles!
The First Carts…
    Using wheels and
         axles…
 Wooden pegs were used to fix
  the sledge, so that when
  rested on the rollers, they did
  not move, but allowed the
  axles to turn in-between the
  pegs.
 Improvements were made.
 Pegs replaced with holes
  carved in to the cart frame.
  Axles were placed through the
  holes. Wheels were attached
  to both sides of the axle.
Students going to school in
         carts…
The Cart and
  Wheels Solution
  • From the first carts came the
     development of fixed axles.
 •Fixed axle: The axles did not turn
  but solidly connected to the cart
  frame. Only the wheels revolved
 by being fitted on to the axle in a
   way that allowed the wheels to
                rotate.
     •Wheel became a complete
              invention.
•The rest are just improvements to
             the wheel...
Behold, the modern wheel…
Cars and everything else
      that moves…
 Tyres (tires) were developed to fit
  around wheels to protect them and
  enhance their function. They
  enabled better vehicle performance
  by providing traction and load
  support.
 The invention of the wheel has also
  been important for technology in
  general.
 Important applications include:
  water wheel, cogwheel, and
  spinning wheel, etc. More modern
  descendants of the wheel include
  the propeller, the jet engine, and
  the turbine, etc.
How students can go to school
with wheels and transportation…
The Modern
Wheels Solution
 • Enable students to travel
anywhere to learn… by train,
 aeroplane, bicycle, bus, etc.
•Further, faster, easier, more
        convenient…
Shoebox Dioramas and the
        Primary School Classroom
    What are shoebox
      dioramas?
 Diorama comes from Greek
  roots di- quot;throughquot; + orama
  quot;that which is seen, a sight.” It
  means quot;a small-scale replica of a
  scene”. It dates back to 1902.
 They are simple projects that
  may be used in the primary
  school classroom to depict
  various subject matters.
 Sample materials: boxes, sand,
  cardboard, paint, miniature
  toys, paper, sticks, cotton balls,
  found objects, etc.
Design Technology and our
   Shoebox Dioramas
   What we’re trying to say…
                   Hanging Objects –
                    Design(Technology to be
                    reflected in the next diorama.)
                   Moving Matters/People –
                    Critique(Thinking about the
                    current technology.)
                   Background – Make
                    (Creating the technology in the
                    next diorama.)
Shoebox Dioramas and Design
        Technology
 Why introduce shoebox dioramas in design
           technology classes?
                   The three main aspects of design
                      technology is always used when
                      creating shoebox dioramas: Design,
                      Critique, and Make.
                     3D aspects and use of ‘moving
                      matters’ (pulleys, motors, etc)
                     Simple to introduce to all student
                      levels
                     Encourage collaborative learning
                     Ability to use in cross-curricular
                      approach
                     Good teaching/learning tool
Extended Ideas for Teaching
Design Technology
• Study of wheels and different
modes of transportation
• Learn about other technologies
that were based on the invention of
wheels
• Historical study of various
inventions/technologies
• Find different ways to enhance
dioramas through ‘moving matters’
• Create full scale dioramas based on
topics of study

Design Technology in Primary Classrooms

  • 1. Design Technology in Primary Schools A Presentation by Sheila (Shai) Coggins, Tiffany Dayman , Rachelle Kennedy, Stacey Cooper
  • 2. The Idea The group asked: What are the different technologies that affect the way students attend primary schools over the years? Favourite answer: The wheel! (Shoes came second, so we decided to use shoeboxes for our exhibit. )
  • 3. What about the wheel? •The evolution of the wheel happened over many years. It is not a new idea. •Its use is not confined to a particular nation or country and it benefits all genders. •It affects modes of transportation and other inventions (spinning wheels, etc). •It shows that technology is about improving the human condition.
  • 4. Off to school with no wheels…
  • 5. The Walking Solution • Without wheels and transportation, students need to walk to school. Great Not-so-Great Live near school Live far from school Fine day Rainy or too hot Light bags Heavy bags
  • 6. Development of the Functional Wheel… “This is too heavy…”  Humans realised that objects may be carried easier and faster when a round object is placed under it and the object is rolled over it…  Discovery of sledge and log rollers…  Humans used several logs or rollers in a row, dragging the sledge over one roller to the next…
  • 7. If students had to go to school in sledge and log rollers…
  • 8. The Sledge + Log Roller Solution • Not so simple for long journeys. •Not a viable transportation solution for humans. • Humans discovered that with time, the sledges started to wear grooves into the rollers. The grooved rollers worked better, as they carried objects further. • Rollers became wheels and humans cut away the wood between the two inner grooves = Invention of the first primitive axles!
  • 9. The First Carts… Using wheels and axles…  Wooden pegs were used to fix the sledge, so that when rested on the rollers, they did not move, but allowed the axles to turn in-between the pegs.  Improvements were made.  Pegs replaced with holes carved in to the cart frame. Axles were placed through the holes. Wheels were attached to both sides of the axle.
  • 10. Students going to school in carts…
  • 11. The Cart and Wheels Solution • From the first carts came the development of fixed axles. •Fixed axle: The axles did not turn but solidly connected to the cart frame. Only the wheels revolved by being fitted on to the axle in a way that allowed the wheels to rotate. •Wheel became a complete invention. •The rest are just improvements to the wheel...
  • 12. Behold, the modern wheel… Cars and everything else that moves…  Tyres (tires) were developed to fit around wheels to protect them and enhance their function. They enabled better vehicle performance by providing traction and load support.  The invention of the wheel has also been important for technology in general.  Important applications include: water wheel, cogwheel, and spinning wheel, etc. More modern descendants of the wheel include the propeller, the jet engine, and the turbine, etc.
  • 13. How students can go to school with wheels and transportation…
  • 14. The Modern Wheels Solution • Enable students to travel anywhere to learn… by train, aeroplane, bicycle, bus, etc. •Further, faster, easier, more convenient…
  • 15. Shoebox Dioramas and the Primary School Classroom What are shoebox dioramas?  Diorama comes from Greek roots di- quot;throughquot; + orama quot;that which is seen, a sight.” It means quot;a small-scale replica of a scene”. It dates back to 1902.  They are simple projects that may be used in the primary school classroom to depict various subject matters.  Sample materials: boxes, sand, cardboard, paint, miniature toys, paper, sticks, cotton balls, found objects, etc.
  • 16. Design Technology and our Shoebox Dioramas What we’re trying to say…  Hanging Objects – Design(Technology to be reflected in the next diorama.)  Moving Matters/People – Critique(Thinking about the current technology.)  Background – Make (Creating the technology in the next diorama.)
  • 17. Shoebox Dioramas and Design Technology Why introduce shoebox dioramas in design technology classes?  The three main aspects of design technology is always used when creating shoebox dioramas: Design, Critique, and Make.  3D aspects and use of ‘moving matters’ (pulleys, motors, etc)  Simple to introduce to all student levels  Encourage collaborative learning  Ability to use in cross-curricular approach  Good teaching/learning tool
  • 18. Extended Ideas for Teaching Design Technology • Study of wheels and different modes of transportation • Learn about other technologies that were based on the invention of wheels • Historical study of various inventions/technologies • Find different ways to enhance dioramas through ‘moving matters’ • Create full scale dioramas based on topics of study
