Use as directed
This is a recent series on TVNZ6. Worth browsing through as there is great material here for you to use with your students. Everything from developing cleaning products to investigating food safety.

This link is to the programme from 27th March. It begins with a discussion about how safe food is in your fridge. The findings might surprise you. http://tvnz.co.nz/use-as-directed/video

WikiHow
Basic food preparation videos and instructions

Well it's been a long time, but i just found these videos that are 'just what we all need'. the first one is "How to boil water" Yes, that's right. someone has made a video about that, and provided written instructions to go with it. :) Seriously, WikiHow contains a video for almost every basic cooking skill you'll need and I think these may actually be useful for developing planning concepts with juniors. Watch them with your students then identify the steps, resources required, safety issues, techniques that need to be learnt, etc. perhaps adapt the basics from this quick demonstration by asking students about nutrition, reducing fat, alternative cooking methods, allergy alternatives etc. media type="youtube" key="pwaVYEQp9y8" height="344" width="425"

 This is a really useful site that would be useful to belong to. There is a link to it on the left side of the wiki. One of their [|focus stories] at the moment is about future foods, in particular lifestyle foods. They are developing a new snack bar so it fits with topics a lot of you are doing right now (it's popular, believe me). I've just found a very short clip in it about [|sensory testing] that would be useful to introduce the idea with your students. Enjoy! Heather

Xmas food
This is just a promotional video but think what your students could do with this type of idea. Develop a Christmas menu (or anything else for that matter) and produce a short cideo to promote the range. Then upload it to Youtube and put it online. I'd love these to be put on this wiki, if anyone is interested I'll give you a hand. It would certainly engage the students, and they probably already know how to do it so you could sit back and watch! Hint: They could use their cellphones for this one - can you break the rules and let them? Are **you** up to it?

Check out the Maori and Pasifika site. There is a link to NZ food safety site with a fantastic resource about preparing a hangi that could engage your Maori students and help connect their own knowledge to whatever you want to create with them.

Video [|Healthy Hot Chips] (3:30mins) This year is the international year of the potato and hot chips are by far the most popular takeaway food item in the country.  [|Healthy Ice Cream] developed by Massey. This links to a TV3 Campbell Live video done on 14th July. Could be a useful discussion starter for your students. 
 * Video (7mins): Massey develops ice-cream that is good for you**
 * Here are some sites that contain useful material for food technology teachers. **

ETA Foods
Want to find information such as manufacturing process, ingredients or nutritional information of common snack foods our students eat? Have a look at this site. http://www.eta.co.nz/Eta/ Here’s an example of ingredients and nutrition (Munchos) http://www.eta.co.nz/Eta/products/NutritionalInfo.aspx?id=443 Or try this for manufacturing process (potato chips) http://www.eta.co.nz/Eta/FunZone/HowWeManufactureChips/

Massey’s food technology site
Food technology is all about using science to 'add value' to commodity foods such as dairy products, meat, fruit, vegetables and grains. Food technologists need to have an in-depth knowledge of raw foods and how they can be handled, processed and/or packaged to provide consumers with safe, convenient, nutritious end products. Your local supermarket is full of food technology - from the muesli bars in the snack section to salami sticks in the delicatessen section. You'll also find food technology at work in bakeries and wineries. People will always need food. The food industry will always need food technologists. http://foodtech.massey.ac.nz/WhatIsFoodTechnology/

Massey’s Food Awards
The Massey University Food Awards celebrate new initiatives in New Zealand food and beverage production and manufacturing, recognising clear company leaders who inspire others to meet their standards of excellence.

http://foodawards.massey.ac.nz/default.asp if you click on the history tab you can have a look at past winners from the last 22 years, great motivation for students to be able to see the history of innovation and suggest some questions about what has happened since the product won the award.
