Oven Pointer

https://www.instructables.com/id/Oven-Pointer/

This oven pointer will be a great tool for teenagers, young adults and older adults who use a wheelchair. This tools helps reach the oven buttons which are normally found on high reaching points on top of the oven. It’s a tool that can be easily created in about 20 minutes or less. It costs less than $10 at the store and if you don’t want to spend money you can pick up items from home. For example if you do not have the same size sticks you can use clothe hangers, if you don’t have tape you can use hot glue and if you do not have an old rag you can use a sock.

Step 1:

These are the materials needed, I used 3 sticks, one rag, various rubber bands, tape and scissors.

Step 2:

First, you grab two sticks and place them one on top of the other. Next, you grab your first piece of tape and cover the middle point between both sticks. If you think it may be too loosely then go ahead and add a second piece of tape. I added two pieces, but if that is not enough you can continue until you feel the sticks are connected well enough.

Step 3:

Now you want to attach your third stick on the top of your large stick in a horizontal form. You add one piece of tape across your first stick, one end to the other. Then add a second piece of tape across the second stick from one end to the other like so on the pictures.

Step 4:

Now that your three sticks are attach to one another. You want to add the rag on areas in where you may be placing your hands for better grip. If your rag is big enough go ahead and cut it into half. Next use one half for the bottom part of your now flipped L stick. Use your rubber bands to tighten the rag onto the stick. I used about 5 rubber bands to keep it nice and sturdy. Finally, use the second half of the rag to place it on the middle of your flipped L stick because that may be another area where you may be touching constantly with your hands. On this area you want to use two pieces of tape, one on each end of the rag as seen in the pictures.

Last Step:

Now that you have created your Oven Pointer (flipped L stick), it’s time to put it into good use and start baking!

These are all the steps I created and that I posted in the indestructible web page.

I used the app VeeR to visit a new place I probably will never have the money or time to do so.

Virtual Reality Goggles are a great tool for Special Education classrooms because they provide an opportunity for those who are not visually impaired to be able to see and visit things and places that may be out of their abilities. I imagine to work in an environment where it is a low income community because I believe those are the places in where support is the most needed. So in this environment the chances that these students and their families having opportunities to visit other parts of the world are limited. Having access to these goggles provides students to feel a sense of belonging a sense of whatever “normality” may mean to them. It can produce experiences that can last a life time.

These goggles can become a tool for education, so when students are learning history they can visit the white house or when they are learning science they can visit a laboratory. This tool can also create a de-stress environment to the students when utilizing the tool as practice to carry on or visiting daily life tasks. This tool will make for example going to the super market more manageable because they would have practice and become some what prepared on what is expected in a super market.

I had created a 3D name tag back in december in a Dominguez Hills events, and I left the design went pretty quickly what took long was the actual printing process. So when I saw this homework I thought oh this is going to be simple. However! This creation was most definitely not simple! I re watched the video for help and I almost gave up. So I am happy with my little farm. .

NAME: Kathryn (Kate) Carter SOCIAL HISTORY
Prepared by: Winston Cramer
Agency # 04587 Date: 7/10/2014
Presenting Problem Kate, a 47-year-old married woman with one daughter away in college, is requesting help for a depression she states has lasted almost 2 years starting with the death of her mother. At the time her mother was ill, Kate did not follow doctor’s recommendations that she take off work and stay home. She was very involved in caring for her mother, who subsequently died. Kate states she was not aware of being depressed until after the funeral, but grew depressed during the 7-month period she and her husband cleaned out her mother’s house and settled her mother’s affairs. She describes this work as “heart wrenching” and involving several legal difficulties. Currently Kate describes her depression as characterized by hypersomnia, an inability to go to work several days a month, and a loss of interest in social activities and friends. She states she is here in part because her husband insisted she get help. Kate believes she needs medication “to jolt me out of this.” She blames herself for letting it go so long but says she felt it would lift on its own. She also states she didn’t want to disturb her husband with the problem. She is asking for a session with a “doctor” and a prescription. She seems uncertain that she needs therapy, stating “I don’t think there is anything wrong in my life, really.”
Family of Origin Kate’s father died when she was 6 years old, and Kate describes feeling responsible for her mother most of her life. She describes her childhood as a happy one. A number of aunts and uncles took an interest in her, and she grew up with a number of cousins close by. She described happy family gatherings for holidays. She depicts her mother as living from the Social Security that came after her father died and being unable to sustain a consistent work history. She states her mother sought her advice often, and Kate feels that she made many of the important decisions for the family. At present only one aunt remains and is in a nursing home, and the cousins have moved out of the state. Kate has some contact with them at Christmas.
Birth and Childhood Pregnancy and birth were uneventful. In addition to what is noted above, Kate and her mother never had enough money. “That’s why I think my aunts and uncles took an in-terest in me.” She spent weeks away from home in the summer at the homes of her cousins and often went to camp with them. Her mother would come for family picnics and was always warmly received.
Marriages and Significant Relationships Kate has been married to her husband for 25 years. They have one daughter who is 20 years old and currently a student at the University of Minnesota. She is studying en-gineering. Kate remembers the pregnancy as easy, but she suffered severe and incapaci-tating depression immediately following. She was unable to return to work at the end of her maternity leave, thus losing her job.
