Creative Baking Designers….
Three of Mrs. Buckwalter’s Baking and Pastry classes offered a demonstration of their creative designs on Tuesday, May 12th. We used our videoconference technology to connect with Hoover High School in Ohio, McGuffey High School in PA, and Hillsborough High School in NJ. Mrs. Buckwalter’s class received an overwhelming response from high schools across the country to participate and view the demonstration after we posted her collaboration idea on CILC (Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration) and TWICE (Two Way Interactive Connections in Education). Each class had 5 separate groups who presented the following design topics: Gingerbread Sculpting, Rolled Fondant, Butter Cream Icing, Clear Candy, and Sugar Run-In. The Baking Students provided everyone with the ingredients as well as demonstrated the step by step procedures to create each item. I think we were all amazed at the talents of the class! Videocconferencing was a new experience for many of the students in all the schools who participated.
