The student measured and marked out wood for a footstool project in class. They used tools like a pencil, ruler, and tri-square to mark the wood, then used saws and clamps to begin cutting. Working with a partner, they finished marking and measuring quickly. While the student made progress cutting the arrow shape, they didn't finish in the allotted time and would continue in the next lesson. The lesson related to the environment through the use of wood from trees.
(A Study of the Book of Ruth) - There are many valuable lessons to be gleaned from this beautiful book. This book is very practical, beneficial and encouraging. This lesson examines many of these lessons and then focusses on the concept of redemption. Boaz “the kinsman redeemer” is a fitting “type” of Christ. Ruth, a Gentile believer redeemed by Boaz, is a fitting “type” of the church.

Hands-On Training Salinas 5-2-12 (Part II)Healthy City
This is a presentation that was given in Salinas on May 2, 2012. Healthy City is an information + action resource. Healthy City is a program of Advancement Project.
The Danger of Procrastination - God presents us with opportunities to obey Him - The devil always strives to make certain that a convenient time to obey the Lord will never come!
Healthy City's Community Research Lab (CRL) shares best practices and methods for community-based organizations interested in supporting their strategies with research that combines community knowledge + Healthy City technology. The CRL is a resource for collaborating, networking, learning, and innovating with community-based organizations to lead and sustain research for social change. Using the Community Based Participatory Action Research framework, we partner with organizations to develop, implement, and disseminate community research projects, tools, and workshops.
Earlier this year, we received a two-year grant to provide our CRL Workshop series throughout California! In these workshops, we provide step-by-step guidance on topics that cover:
• how to develop research questions
• how to create effective community maps
• how to facilitate participatory mapping
• how to share maps and data with local community members
The workshops also include:
• facilitated activities training participants how to collect community feedback for advocacy, organizing and other projects
• sessions on how to develop strategies where community members can give input to telling their community’s story.
We are currently preparing to launch the first round of the workshop series in: Sacramento, Central Valley, and the Inland Empire!
Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities. Whether you are a Youth Organizer, Community Liaison or Direct Service Provider, there are a number of ways you can incorporate and share youth data and stories using a variety of free resources and tools available on HealthyCity.org to build community power.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1) Research and map youth population data to enhance program focus and planning on healthycity.org
2) Upload your own data onto a map
3) Use Wikimaps to better plan, collaborate and share youth outreach strategies and stories
How to Use HealthyCity.org to Influence PolicyHealthy City
These slides are from a webinar designed to demonstrate how to use HealthyCity.org to inform and communicate your advocacy and policy goals. Integrating the data and tools available on HealthyCity.org into your organizational advocacy and policy strategies can broaden efforts to influence decision-making at the local, state, and federal level.
In this training you will learn how to:
- Research relevant resources and data throughout California such as demographic, health, education, and housing to inform your organizational policy proposals.
- Create maps and charts that can visually communicate your advocacy message to impact policy decisions.
- Gather data to enhance on-the-ground knowledge of the community’s perspective and needs in relation to specific policy proposals and decisions.
- Connect communities, advocates, and decision-makers to information and data to stimulate action for policy change.

1. Design Technology Process Journal - Mar. 25th, 2011 - Friday
- Measuring and Marking out
Today’s lesson was quite easy, we measured and marked out our footstools.
We had a practice of it when we are making the doorstop, therefore it was a easy
lesson for me.
Today I used some tools. I used pencil, ruler and a tri-square to mark out
my footstool. Also I used tenon saw and a pull saw to cut my footstool. And a
clamp to tight the piece of wood.
I first worked with my partners, because there are at least 2 people are
using one piece of wood, and then we will cut it apart after we mark and measure
it. My partner and I worked quite well, we finished all the things we need to do in
groups really fast. And then I used the tenon saw to start to cut my arrow shape. I
didn’t finish it, because there wasn’t enough time for me. I will be continue
cutting the arrow shape for the next lesson.
Today’s lesson related to environment, because we are using wood which is
related to the environment, the wood are from trees.
