Cooking with TPACK

In this cooking with TPACK quest, I was given a list of 5 task that you had to pick from a hat: 1. Slice Hard Cheese, 2. Make whipped cream from 35% heavy whipping cream, 3. Make a fruit salad, 4. Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich or 5. Slice Veggies for a Veggie Tray. The point of this cooking with TPACK experiment was to repurpose tools and figure out a way to complete a rather simple task with whatever tools or materials you are given. My partner for this quest was Kaley Stone (my fiancés daughter).
First I had her to come into the kitchen and pick three utensils or tools that she was going to have to use to complete a random task that she was unaware of, she chose a fork, a bowl and a pair of tongs. Second she chose a slip of paper from a hat that had all 5 of the above task inside of it; she chose "Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich". Third she grabbed the bread an started to pull things together. She used the tongs for peanut butter, the fork for jelly and then when she was done she had to put it in a bowl (because that is what she chose)

I know the video has a annoying thing across the screen the entire time sorry!! It is the only way that

I could get it to work.

 

The tools that Kaley chose weren't to impossible, the fork worked fairly well and the bowl looked sort of funny holding a sandwich, but the tongs would of probably have to be the hardest part of the entire task. Tongs probably wouldn't be the easiest thing to grab and spread jelly so she made a smart move by using the tongs for the peanut butter because peanut butter is a lot thicker so it was easier to manipulate than jelly.
We had a lot of fun completing this task and I think it was a wonderful idea, trying to figure out a ways to repurpose tools in such a way that the task could still have the same outcome. Just like TPACK is all about changing and repurposing otherwise simple task.
