Browsing for Gems

I like to keep tabs on people within the Manaiakalani Cluster who share great resources and materials through their blogs and on google+. Today I checked out Karen Ferguson's post on google+ and was linked to her blog. Her blog is a professional reflections/journal similar to mine in that she puts her thoughts, findings and reflections all in one place. Today I found this fantastic gem we can use in our Design Technology class next term. It's focus is on design language and what students need to be able to use when discussing their design. Language acquisition is an area of focus for our students with many of them being ESOL and unaccustomed to the use of specific design language. This resource will be of great use next term, and we'll add our own slant to this, alligning it with specific language to our projects.
Check out her blog: Stuff and Nonsense

Thanks Karen!
