My Students

I am a 25-year special education teacher who is now in a resource program. The problem is the new COVID-19 way of teaching is leaving my students short-changed on one-to-one instruction (due to distancing rules).

My students are general education students with an I.E.P (Individualized education program).

I assist them in helping them understand their classwork and to stay afloat in the general education population with learning disabilities. COVID-19 has hurt my population the most being they need to have one to one instruction to best understand the material. I now have the challenge of trying to do this with the students and I six-foot distanced.

I figured out what I need to get the students to have the same level of education without sacrificing the safety of distancing. With the proper technology, I can deliver the top-notch instruction I'm used to.

I have requested an enclosed printer that prints non-toxic PLA filament to ensure the safety of myself and the students.

My Project

This year I purchased a 3D printer for my home. I was astounded at what could be printed and began to research the academic applications for 3D printing. What I found was a wealth of free resources to help my students print the materials they need to make outstanding projects for their classes. I was also astounded by the shallow learning curve of 3D printing and how my students will be able to print their own items with little help from me.

To get kids to WANT to learn....you have to get them to WANT to come to school.

When I took a poll amongst my students concerning how many of them would be more excited about doing their projects if they had access to a 3D printer, it was pure excitement and a unanimous raise of hands.

I truly think that it would not only be great for the kids, but for the reputation of the school to have a 3D printer for student use.
