Week 1 - Technology Definition

This term, while continuing our Inquiry work, we are also going to be focusing on technology and how it helps us out.

On Monday, we worked on defining technology.  There were lots of different examples that we looked at and sorted in our define map (see below). We made decisions based on whether an object is an example of technology or not.  Once we had sorted all of these we then made statements about what technology is.  Most of our statements decided that technology has some sort of wire or power or runs off a battery.



We are prepared for our thinking to change as Mr Riceman challenged us to think of how a tap is a technology.  Please let us know what you think technology is by posting a positive, thoughtful or helpful comment below.

    Did you know I like your pictures that you added because they were about the topic.
    Next time, you could try adding a background that matched your topic.
    Why did you add so many pictures?

  13. Hi Manukau team! What an interesting question. Like you I thought of technology as things with batteries and power. Now I think it could be anything that helps to solve a problem or provide a service. I wonder what the first piece of technology was? Maybe something like an axe or the wheel?

  14. Kia ora team Manukau,
    Mmm you have got me thinking Mr Riceman. I also wonder what the first piece of technology was. I'm also wondering how you defined technology as it seems to be much BIGGER than just having power or wires. It will be interesting to see how your thinking has changed. I look forward to reading more on your blog.
