This Website was created by Spencer Dolloff and is intended as a classroom and community resource for Grandville Technology Education. I created it using HTMLPad for the HTML, and PaintShop Pro for the graphics.
What is TECH ED?
Technology Education is an integrated, experience-based instructional
program designed to prepare students to be knowledgeable about
technology - its evolution, systems, technologies, utilization, and social
and cultural significance. It results in the application of mathematics and
science concepts to technological systems in areas such as, but not
limited to: construction, manufacturing, communications, transportation,
biotechnology, and power and energy. Students are challenged to
discover, create, solve problems, and construct solutions by using a
variety of tools, machines, computer systems, materials, processes and
technological systems.
I teach Technology Education to 10th, 11th, and 12th graders all day long.
My class is called Exploring Technology, and that's exactly what we do.
For those of you wondering what Tech Ed is, read above, and let me just say that it's
a dynamic, hands-on class that teaches problem-solving, communication
skills, career awareness, and teamwork, along with a basic knowledge of
technology. We study technology's past, present, & future.
My job,
essentially, is to expose my students to technology to help open the
doors of opportunity to them.I am very proud of our program,
and of the outstanding students that I've had a chance to teach
& work with.

 Mankind's Greatest Achievement |
We watch the 12-part HBO miniseries 
"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him
safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more
impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of
space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish." |
