Technology in education has had a great impact on teaching. Using this technology has allowed the teacher to become versatile and attend to students with different learning styles.
While preparing this video we observed that many persons are not aware of the importance of safety and do not adhere to construction safety rules and regulations. As a result this will make the student aware of the dangers that can occur during constructional activities. However while observing sites we came across a site with a safety officer. This site was educational; we were able to speak to this officer and learnt several reasons why it is necessary to be safe on the construction site. Also this was the only site which contained each worker with approved safety gear. On entering this site were signs stating the rules and regulations before site visit.
The sites that were not safety friendly were sites for domestic purpose. The hard hat protects you from damaging your head, the safety glasses protect your eyes, the ear muffs protects your ears , the nozzle prevents you from inhaling chemicals that are hazardous to your body, the steel boots protect your feet from sharp objects on the floor and the overall is made up of material that does not catch on fire quickly.
Showing the students the dangers of not using the following gears was essential. Highlighting each ones hazard this will create awareness to the learner.
The process of creating the video was fun and educational as well. This video is not only essential to grade 9 learners but can be used by contractor who is preparing to construct a building on a construction site.
