3D Printing

3D printing provides a fun and engaging way to teach students. Creating a lesson around 3D printing was very interesting and different. Many kids are visual and kinesthetic learners and for them to have something that they can touch and feel and look at can be beneficial. Making tools with 3D printing can be exciting for the classroom.
3D printing has had a great impact on the world and especially in the medical feild. The greatest thing about 3D printing is being able to print out a fake organ to transplant into humans to save thier live. Instead of waiting for an organ donor they would just have to wait months, or years they can just have one printed out. I am sure there will be further advancements with 3D in the medical field.
Many people wonder how can 3D printing be incorporated into the classroom? Well, with 3D printing teachers are able to make tools to use during lesson. 3D printing tools can be incorporated into any subject or lesson plan. Students can watch and see their tools and inventions being formed infront of their eyes. It can spark interest in students and learning can become more effective.
The only negative things about 3D printing is that the machine and materials can be expensive. There can also be lack of training, technology networking issues, and it can be time consuming to make certain projects with the 3D printer. However, there are more good thing than negative things.
3D printing can really help teachers engage their students more to the lessons and make learning more fun. Students will be shown a piece of technology that is rarely seen in other places. There is also a tinkercard link that can help students create their own design for 3D printing which is really cool. 3D printing sparks invention and creation.
