Kitchen Safety

(View Complete Item Description)

Many young adults and college students begin transitioning into adulthood with distinct deficiencies in their kitchen skills. Kitchen skills are a daily life component useful in safely preparing nutritionally adequate meals. They can also serve the additional purpose of entertainment as a way to grow a love of cooking. These knowledge gaps affect their culinary performances and their abilities to thrive independently in the adult environment. To help fill these gaps, Chosen Ten Instructional Design has created an interactive digital learning course for incoming college students to learn about cooking and managing a personal kitchen. This interactive learning object intends to provide instruction on critical areas of kitchen safety that are relevant to these learners now and will increase their confidence in the kitchen as they progress through life. Consisting of an interactive PowerPoint with infographics, other interactive elements, and videos, this digital learning object has been uploaded to OER Commons, where it can be accessed by both the target learning group and anyone who feels that their culinary knowledge and skills require refreshing.

Pajama Pants Project

(View Complete Item Description)

Throughout this project, the students will construct a pair of pajama pants. This project will take about seven days (50-minute class periods) for students to complete. Everyday, students will begin with setting up their sewing machines and setting goals for the day. Students will follow the written and video instructions to complete the project. At the end of each day, students will reflect upon what they accomplished and what they hope to improve upon for the following day. As there are written and video instructions, students can move through the project at their own pace.  This project works well for middle school or as a project to refresh students on how to use the sewing machine and construction terminology in high school. (In my classroom, I give students the choice to complete the PJ Pants or the Pillowcase Project.)
