  2. Problem Of Practice Incorporating technology into a ktichen that is traditionally hands; very little technology is included into the classroom learning. Using tools such as Voicethread, Posterous, and Google documents as a new form of collaborative learning. Other than the traditional video, the use of new technologies as an alternate way to participate in group work/class discussions. Utilizing technologies enables students to be knowledgeable in a variety of cooking techniques to increase their individual skill sets. Concept of this assignment is to aid in students learning or reinforce previously learned knowledge. Students must spend time at home continuing to build their skills. This type of assignment will guarantee that each works on techniques outside of the classroom setting. Student collaboration post assignment will add toa students learning through constructive feedback from peers and teacher input. Incorporating new technologies will help students discover new ideas, cooking techniques and an increased skill set.

  3. Course Description Students of Cafeteria Training can apply their skills in their homes as well as in public food-service facilities. They often choose to use their training to secure entry-level employment in the growing hospitality industry or to pursue careers in the food industry. Students gain an understanding of the scientific and aesthetic principles of quantity food preparation that lead to desired product standards. They apply these principles by adapting recipes to a variety of culinary needs. Students observe and practice a wide variety of quantity food-preparation methods and learn to prepare tasty, attractive and nutritious foods in a cost and time effective manner.

  4. Learning Outcomes 1. Demonstrate skills necessary to prepare foods in a hot-food station. 2. Use effective time-management principles while preparing food. 3. Develop a range of menus based on social trends, dietary needs and cultural influences. 4. Demonstrate techniques required in protein, starch, vegetable and sauce cooking. 5. Develop a food plan for preparing and plating a full meal. 6. Student will apply different technologies tools to aid in food preparation. 7. Students will demonstrate and reflect on their understanding of technologies used in this assignment.

  5. Project Overview This is a multi tiered project: 1) Students will log on to Posterous or Voicethread and review assignment. 2) Students must watch Voicethreadand comment on what they have viewed. 3) Students must come up with a plan and email the plan to instructor for approval. 4) Once the ‘Take Home Cooking Assignment’ is completed, each student must upload the picture to Posterousand describe their final plate. 5) Students will be asked a series of question on a Google document, commenting on what they’ve learned and what they thought of doing such an extensive project.

  6. Voicethread ⇨ Use Voicethreadto introduce the cooking assignment, include assignment description and reference video. ⇨ Students must participate in the Voicethread. Each student has to make comments or ask questions throughout the presentation. ⇨ Studentcomments/ questions in the Voicethreadwill serve as evidence that the students reviewed the material. ⇨ Student questions will also benefit the group as others generally have the same questions and comments.

  7. Posterous √ Students will need to log on to Posterous and create an account. √ Students are expected to post pictures or create a video of their final plate presentation. √ Students must comment on exactly what they have created and how they produced the food, including cooking techniques and garnishes. √ Students need to analyze peers work by viewing plates on Posterous. www.straumford-s-kitchen@posterous.com

  8. Google Doc • Students will respond to a series of questions set up by instructor (me). • The questions will be geared to what worked and what didn’t work. • Discussion will be encouraged; such as ways to improve learning and increase skill sets. • Focus will be on helping peers out with their final plate assignments. Commenting on what they think worked well and possible ways of improving plate presentations and cooking techniques. • I can monitor and guide students contribution to the assignment in terms of time spent, quality of input, and collaboration with their partners. • https://docs.google.com/?authuser=0#home

  9. Conclusion Students use a variety of technology tools to plan, evaluate and reflect on their own work as well as others. Students will learn new technologies as well as develop personal skill sets. Students will evaluate their own work as well as their peers. Instructor will provide feedback on all aspects of assignment. Hopefully this assignment encourages students to work on their skills and further their learning outside of the classroom.
