This Technology Learning Activity (TLA) for agriculture education in grades 6-10 is designed to help students learn the basic terminology of a farm system while they experience the responsibility of keeping a profitable farm in operation through use of the interactive SimFarm software. Introductory materials provide an overview of technology education and information on using the two parts of the TLA: the instructor's guide and the student guide. The instructor's section provides the following: an overview of technology education, a list of high priority academic student skills specific to the TLA, a summary of activities and supplies needed for students to complete the TLA, a resource list, an instructional sequence (daily lesson plans with suggested daily assignments; equipment, tools, and supplies needed for each student; and facility requirements or modifications), a supplies and materials worksheet, pretest and posttest, written exam answer sheets, and evaluation summary for the TLA. The student's section provides daily activities for each of the 8 days. Within the daily activity pages are these components common to all TLAs: summary of activities, pretest instructions, list of assignments to turn in, goal, glossary, list of priority academic students skills reinforced by this TLA, list of objectives, related Technology Student Association competitive event(s), and academic and workplace applications.
