Ideas, Thoughts, Things, & Awesome Things to Look Into - from the Computer Lab

Asynchronous Ideas

When we all went to asynchronous learning in March 2020, I began my research and this student-side of the website was born.  Because my school district used so many platforms that were initially less than friendly for elementary and ELL students, I created this website to store my resources I used for asynchronous learning.  I started with this article from Brown University, and built from there.

Using 3D design to teach a math concept

7/9/2018

I like cooperative learning games. I have used something like this made out of laminated paper in the past, so I wanted to see how hard it was to design a prototype for the 3D printer. This is only a 3 inch prototype model because I had to scale it down to fit on my school's 3D printer. That's OK, because prototypes of the second or third try are not generally printed full-scale. As it is shown here, the plus and equals spots are too small to fit a pen or wood pencil, and the squares are too small for the unit squares aka ones blocks in the base ten block manipulatives that are everywhere in most elementary schools. So for demo purposes, we used beads.

Thingiverse - The place where 3D designs live

Thingiverse is where my educational designs live. I began publishing this summer as part of the MakerBot Certifications Level 1 User and Level 2 Curriculum Creator.  There exists a lot of manipulatives to make for the lower grades, but there are not many lessons that the kids themselves can create, and there are even fewer organized STEM lessons for this age group.

To search all of the designs at Thingiverse:  http://www.thingiverse.com/

These are the first two education approved designs and curriculum. The little blue graduation cap means they are designs that have been approved by the educational team at Thingiverse.

    This is a space where I post my thoughts on things and ideas in the Computer Lab. I am a K-12 certified Computer Science, Business Education, and Engineering and Technology teacher with ESOL and Gifted Endorsements.

    I'm writing this for myself
    and my colleagues as part of my own teaching practice day-to-day, and for my own self reflection.

    I'm NOT doing this blog for compensation or free products.  If I ever change that personal policy, I'll make that apparent.
