Fashioning Technology
Wearable technology (Seymour 2008)
Are you interested in technical textiles?
Have you heard of Hussein Chalayan ?
Do you know what an L.E.D is?
Can you create a parallel circuit?
Can you read the tolerance level on a resistor?
Seminar aims:Looking at integrated electron/textiles – called wearable technology : (subject Knowledge)
Discussing the potential for use in schools: (curriculum knowledge)
Considering how the topic can be included in the curriculum: (pedagogic knowledge)
Next steps..
What do we mean by wearable technology?
Colcherster (2007) discusses the future of “materials and prototypes that are so new that we can hardly foresee how the familiar functions of textiles will be transformed in the future”
Wearable technology• Fibre• Fabric• Construction
How will this benefit our curriculum?
Modern textiles
“narrowing the gap between the world of art, design, engineering and science”
Braddock and O’Mahay (1998)
D&T in the National Curriculum Review“The challenge for the D&T curriculum in England is to not be left behind [technology-focused countries such as China and France] and to contribute to preparing young people for future roles in the design, technological, engineering and scientific industries.”

How can we develop this into the curriculum?
Outputs – mechanical or electronic
Lights/visual
Release of sound/music
movement creating texture/change
release of smell/scent
