Have you seen this logo?
You are at the forefront
New National initiative
5
The marriage of three projects to form one new
initiative..
Its about our subject in the 21st Century
about giving ownership of learning to our
students

So thats where our 6 Lincolnshire schools fits
into the picture..

• Part of DATAs bid to DCSF was about making
  curriculum projects sustainable if staff members
  leave the school.
• Hence teams of 3 staff from different DT
  backgrounds from each school (in which the
  technician is a key player).

27
The outcomes

• Project called Be Seen and Stay Safe !!!!!!!
• Back to each school work as a team and
  conceptually develop a potential project.
• Back on 27th May to work with decide how we can
  best support the CAD/CAM element.
• Trial the outcome with (maybe) one student.
• Take lots of photographs at every stage.
• Well provide each school with details of a WIKI
  to send work to us.
• Get together on 30th June to share our
  development
• Well develop a website of your outcomes.

28
Lets get our students engaged in exciting DT
that is relevant to the 21st C
29
Links and next steps

• DDT SCs are centres of DT expertise within each
  region and therefore able to support and/or
  collaborate with
• STEMPOINTS
• ASSECs
• Science Learning Centres
• SSAT specialist schools
• ASTs

OfSTED report

• Education for a technologically advanced nation
  - DT in schools 2004-07 OfSTED June 2008
• Design and technology has to be an essential
  part of every pupils learning experience. The
  subject encourages creativity and contributes to
  the personal development of students of all ages.
  More needs to be done to ensure that all schools
  are equally well equipped with the facilities,
  equipment and specialist teachers required to
  keep pace with the advancements in our ever
  changing, hi-tech world.

31
OfSTED report

• Key findings
• Design and technology was popular and contributed
  well to learners personal development. Learners
  were motivated, especially when they had
  opportunities to develop and realise their ideas.
  They behaved well, understood the subjects
  relevance and learnt to use complex and expensive
  equipment effectively.
• Advanced technologies such as computer-aided
  designing and computer-aided manufacturing
  (CAD/CAM), when used effectively, motivated
  learners and raised their productivity. However,
  the gap was growing between schools which used
  such technology well and those which did not the
  latter lacked equipment and the necessary
  expertise.
• Many teachers did not keep sufficiently up to
  date because of a lack of in-service training.
  This restricted the development of teaching and
  learners technological capability.

32
OfSTED report

• Recommendations
• DCSF
• consider how, in the long term, science,
  technology, engineering and mathematics research
  and development might be used to create modern
  design and technology projects, with mathematical
  and scientific content, to enable schools to keep
  pace with technological advances
• QCA
• ensure that GCSE course specifications are
  effective in promoting creativity and
  technological rigour in coursework
• provide guidance on applying rigorous
  technological, mathematical and scientific
  knowledge in designing and making projects
• TDA
• provide training opportunities for primary and
  secondary teachers to update and maintain their
  subject and teaching skills
• Secondary schools
• provide adequate resources for CAD/CAM and ensure
  that at least one teacher is trained to teach it
  throughout the age range

33
.today

• Well start by all making he same project
  (electronics part) and program the PIC in it
  using New Wave Concepts Genie.
• Ill then suggest some ways forward
• look at producing surface mount PCBs
• Look at producing flexible PCBs
• Mike will join us and discuss CAD/CAM

34
Teacher Perceptions
Its a dirty, messy subject
Its only for bright boys
Its too expensive, software etc
Its too hard to teach I can teach anything
except Systems
The projects are really boring!
