Technology Post #1

Hi guys, I’m back! I am just starting my 2nd week in my new quarterly at school. The quarterly is technology, and I am so excited for the rest of the quarter! We will be learning about many topics in technology such as electricity, circuits, mechanical movement, and physical computing. Before we start all of these units, we need to learn all of the safety rules! There are 12 safety rules:

  1. Slow down; think before you act.
  2. Dress responsibly; tie back long hair; no baggy clothes and dangling jewelry.
  3. Don’t assume training before tools.
  4. Power tools need concentration; no talking when using machinery.
  5. Protect your eyes; always wear safety glasses.
  6. Before using a machine, get instruction; get permission; inspect machine.
  7. Use all guards when using machines; shut off and unplug before making adjustments.
  8. Power tools are dangerous; never leave a tool running unattended.
  9. Soldering irons are hot; be cautious; soldering irons heat to over 842 degrees fahrenheit.
  10. Xacto knives, saws, and awls, oh my; be careful when handling sharp things.
  11. Walk all the time; never nudge or push someone.
  12. Report all accidents; burns, cuts, scratches, and splinters; no matter how small.

    That’s it for this blog post! If you have any questions then please comment! See you later!
