Wow wicked fun! I would have to say I really enjoy this, so many designs prints and images I love! It is so easy to do, interesting and fun!
To adapt this for my year 6/7 class I would not have to change a lot they are a very intelligent group. In saying that to make it idiot proof I may have to have a set of step by step instructions for my students to follow for the computer.
Especially if they were to use text - Text needs to be rotated 180 degrees so after printing they come out the right way.
I would love to do this with them simply to see what they would come up with to print on a shirt, allow they creativity to run wild!
What would you wear on your sleeve?

Technology & Janet Burns
Kia Ora.
First and foremost, welcome to my blog!
For my first yarn, I would like to inform you of my university paper EDCR 332 Curriculum Content and Pedagogy, which focuses on the topic of Technology.
To my delight, it has been an intriguing and frustrating process, who knew!?
Based on the reading by Janet Burns, Technology, Intervening in the World (1997), I am to reflect and share my opinion and point of view on the text.
An interesting read, it had me thinking very hard right from the start. I found myself trying to relate this information in an everyday life situation, as well as figuring out if I was using technology on a daily basis, while being blissfully unaware of it.
If innovation is a complex process, and invention is a flash of inspiration, therefore "Invention is 99 per cent perspiration and only 1 per cent inspiration (Burns, 1997, p. 21) seems to make perfect sense. Still lost? Carry on...
I justified this to myself by thinking supply and demand, types, needs and wants. Technology is problem solving at its best. Making something to meet the demands and needs of humans. Some bold statements I agree, but it is the motivations that inspire us to think higher, wider, faster, further, either intrinsic or extrinsic makes no difference, both require a solution to either a widespread or individualized problem.
The following quote from Janet Burns simplifies this for both you and I to understand.

"We can describe technology in general as the means by which human beings have sought and provided for their survival and enjoyment of life on this planet"
(Burns, 1997).

Technology is an advanced process of problem solving.
It changes the world and science helps us understand it.
(1997)
You with me now?
