3-D printing can be another form of technology in the classroom. Technology is something that should be integrated into education. There should be training sessions for the teachers that want 3-D in schools but don't have the background knowledge of how to use it.
3-D printing in schools is a great way to get students involved. As educators, this is important because in the future this will be something the students will be dealing with. Students should be able to be indulged with as many helpful resources they can lay their hands on. It serves as a tangible way of learning a subject. This will also help teachers and students to get together to do projects after school.
A challenge that was addressed was that many teachers were not trained or didn't know how to use the 3-D machine. This could be a big problem for schools because some teachers may not implicate 3-D printing because they don't know how to turn on machine. Training should be required because of the money that goes into buying a 3-D machine. Teachers may need some time to think of how to incorporate it in their lesson plans, and should be given the training and the time to do this.
In conclusion, 3-D printing is a great way to get students to learn. This helps them know the way to make things and get them to wan to learn math, science, technology, and engineering.
