3D printing technology is an extremely cool resource. We are able to think of something, design it, and then create it! Only one problem, how can teachers use this resource to help their students? It makes sense to have if you are in space and need to built a bolt to fix a satellite, or to have a business that creates a persons design, but how can we use this in the classroom setting?
Utilizing 3D printing can be a great tool for a classroom. For example, a physics class can now build the problems they have in the book to visualize and measure. Another example is for a STEM class, if the class is exploring puzzles the class can design and print a 3d puzzle of a building. An English class can make a model of the story and its setting. Even a Spanish class can utilize this tool by creating skulls for Day of the Dead.
3D printing can be a difficult resource to implement into a classroom, but if the teacher studies, researches, and looks for ideas in every direction this resource can and will be extremely effective. 3d printing will also keep a class interested and wanting to work on their homework and coming to class everyday. 3d printing will make a class fun, which keeps students involved and ready to learn.
I am glad you have fun and we learn together!! 3D printing is a technology that allows users to turn any digital file into a three dimensional physical product. One of the good things about this printing technology is that it changes the dynamic of consumer culture. In other words, it turns users from being passive consumers to active creators!
