=The first image..= Middle School Technology Education is offered at ASB as an exploratory course that is taught in grades K-12. Classroom Activities are taught in a modular format. These modules range in length from 3 days to 2.5weeks. Instruction uses self-paced manuals that the students follow to do their daily activities. Technology students combine skills and knowledge to solve problems, produce products and explore a wide range of subjects that will help them prepare for work in the 21st century. Students work in a modular workstation environment that includes computer programs that aid in solving problems and in the design and drawing of 2 and 3 dimensional objects. Traditional sketching methods are used to draw 2 and 3 dimensional shapes and objects. Students fabricate and build products using hand and power tools in the production area. While exploring how humans and technology interact, students also learn to read and interpret written directions and how to access, manipulate and store electronic information.
