Three Dimensional Printing

The technology while revolutionary will inevitably be slow to permeate most schools and classrooms. The rendered objects would be excellent for topographical models in geography and history. Constructed models could serve future classrooms as a platform and be an ongoing project which crosses curriculums. To build sections at a time could contribute to a community in the school and outside. Students could also construct historical artifacts which would require intensive research and allow museum plethora of objects to be collected and utilized for future classes.  Recreating key historical objects and devices could bring history alive for serious students and allow those students interested in the science and technical aspects of learning to engage meaningfully. Precision instruments, which normally would run exorbitant amounts of money, such as sextants and compasses, could be reconstructed by students. Already lessons and units are being written to facilitate the new technology, hopefully soon I can engage with this new medium.
