foolfillment: the blog

Last night I talked about alternative tasks for pupils in Craft and Design. I’ve blogged about this before but I want to just pool the three things I mentioned here so they can get aggregated with all the other TeachMeetBorders stuff.

I have a pupil who has been unable to work because he’s been in a sling. He couldn’t draw or write, but he was able to use his left han to control a computer mouse. While the rest of his class were sketching out designs for a wooden box, he was busy drawing the box on the computer, using Autodesk Inventor. He came up with something that looked a little like this:

Then when the class wre in the workshop making their boxes, again he was unable to do this so I gave him a camera and set him the task of documenting the different stages in the manufacture. He was going to put it all together into a ComicLife strip, and hopefully a short Animoto video. Unfortunately he has been absent again and hasn’t had the opportunity to complete these tasks, so I’ve done some examples of the sort of thing he could get done:
