3D Printing

The 3D printing technology is a great resource for teachers and classrooms. For teachers, the source will allow the teachers to create some tools they can use for their classroom; an example of this would be rulers. The teachers can print their own and make them to their own specifications. For students, the technology really embraces each one's creativity. A great example of this is the tinkercard link. This link really allows students to play with options on a plan and create a 3D image to his/her own vision. There are many benefits to having the 3D printing, but, just like any technology, there are cons as well. One negative would be expense. This resource is new so the machine and other materials are still fairly costly. In conclusion, the new technology will greatly benefit teachers and students in the classroom.
