This case study outlines a program developed by a group of 6 teachers' college lecturers who volunteered to provide a technology program to year 7 & 8 children (11- and 12-year-olds) for a year. This involved teaching technology once a week. As technology education was a new curriculum area when first introduced to the college, few lecturers had classroom experience of teaching this new subject. Although the lecturers had sound personal constructs of technology education and lectured in the area of technology education, teaching this age group for this extended period was a new experience for all. The lecturers' honest evaluations document the difficulties and emotional times they encountered as they tried to implement the technology curriculum. (Contains 2 figures and 4 tables.)
