Get a 3D printer. It’ll change your classroom.
Three major components to having a 3D printer:
- Having a 3D printer in the classroom will change the way you see curriculum.
- It’ll add a new perspective to the lessons you’ve been teaching.
- It’ll give a pep in your students’ steps to learning more and staying engaged.
When I first heard about using a 3D printer, I was confused. I didn’t understand how important it was to have one. However, it didn’t take long to see that using one was a great decision.
I noticed that the projects students worked on became more intricate and detailed. They had a newfound passion that wasn’t there before when all they had were piles of cardboard and markers. Now, they could combine all of those materials, the cardboard, the markers, and their 3D prints, to make something even more spectacular. Their hard work showed. And what’s even better, the students were proud of their work. No one was shy about what they could present. In fact, the students couldn’t stop talking about their work! Isn’t this what we want from students? Students who are proud of their work and want to do well?
You want one. You know you do.
So go get one!
