Introduce Construction Technology through Home Inspection
Wiggins, Enrique R.
Tech Directions, v66 n10 p26-28 May 2007
Introducing technology education students to the field of home inspection gives them a great opportunity to learn about and apply construction technology content. In working with his 8th-grade students, the author covers the purpose of a home inspection, the dynamic of home inspections, the process involved in inspecting schools and homes and writing assessment reports. In addition to informing students about a valuable profession, his class prepares them for identifying problems when they eventually purchase a home. This activity increases the knowledge students need to protect themselves as future buyers and gives them valuable skills and knowledge regarding home buying. (Contains 1 table.)
