1. Unit 1 Question:
To What Extent Does our Health Depend on Technology?
Area of Interaction (AOI):
Health and Social Education
Significant Concept:
Our health is only as good as our health service
Introduction
State the problem:
I have to create a video or animation that educates a certain type of people on one technology
(machine) that benefits our health.
Ideas on a type of technology that helps you health:
-pacemaker
-Machine that cures cancer
-x-rays
-kidney machine
-Tapis roulant
These machines help to cure or prevent problems that damage your body and health.
Things I have to achieve:
-I have to create a video or animation
-I have to educate people
- my animation has to be interesting
-my animation has to be attractive
During the first unit of grade 11 I will have to choose a type of technology that improves our health and
make a video related to it. This video or animation will be created for a certain age group to educate
them on the technology that I chose.
The technology that I chose to create the video is the pacemaker. I chose It because it affects me in a
good way. My grandfather was in hospital during all the summer holidays, he wasn’t feeling well and

some doctors thought that he couldn’t make it. His heart had a beat that was too slow. Fortunately they
had the idea of putting a pacemaker to fasten up the beat of the heart when needed.
This technology helps the society in which I live in. it may be that there are many people that suffer
heart diseases and consequently they need the pacemaker to improve their health. If this technology
didn’t exist many people would have died for health (heart) problems.
This health technology is related to the area of interaction. The AOI that the unit is related to is “Health
and social education”. If we divide the AOI in two parts we can clearly understand why it is related to
the technology that I chose:
Health: because thanks to this technology the health of individuals improve.
Social education: because I have to create a video or animation that educate people on this technology.
