Ms. Ellis' Classroom Innovation Lab

3D PRINTER

3D SCANNER

A 3D printer is used when students design an object using a software on a computer. This object is then printed into a tangible item.

The 3D scanner is responsible for creating a 3D model from a tangible object that the student has. This also goes hand in hand with the 3D printer because after the object is scanned in, it can then be printed.

This area of the classroom will contain desktops, laptops, as well as tablets that students will be able to accesses the software that is required for the 3D printer, that will be in this area as well.

This area of the classroom will be similar to the area above. It will contain desktops, laptops, as well as tablets. Along with a 3D printer, a 3D scanner will be in this area as well.

DIGITAL STORYTELLING

Within this are of the classroom, I will provide the students with, computers, microphones, head phones, web cams and more computer based tools.

With Digital Storytelling the students will be able to tell their own stories using these computer based tools. Audio, and video are just a couple of examples on the ways these stories can be presented.

RECYCLABLE "JUNK" BINS

Standards for Mathematical Practice 1st Grade

  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
  4. Model with mathematics.
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
  6. Attend to precision.
  7. Look for and make use of structure.
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
    The Alternate Achievement Standards for Students With the Most Significant Cognitive Disabilities Non-Regulatory Guidance states, “...materials should show a clear link to the content standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled, although the grade-level content may be reduced in complexity or modified to reflect pre-requisite skills. Throughout the Standards descriptors such as, describe, count, identify, etc., should be interpreted to mean that the students will be taught and tested according to their mode of communication.

The different bins will allow students to conserve items by using them more than once. Recycle bins will be color coated and labeled for the students to put recycled items in each bin. Then, when an item is needed, the student can pick an item from any bin that will help them with what they are creating.

This area will simply contain recyclable bins.

The design behind my Classroom Innovation Lab is for students to be able to use their on creative thinking to create things they never thought they could before. My classroom will also encourage students to share their ideas with others and work together to come up with different ways to make their own thinking better.

3D SOFTWARE

When providing your students with different options to create their own designs. You should have an up to date software that allows them to do so. Below are a couple of 3D design software's:


Entry-Level Software
CAD Solid Modeling Software

This area would be tied in with the 3D printer, as well as the 3D scanner because it would be a software on a computer that would allow students to process their work
