Playdough Tool Design Challenge
Description
“You Have A 3-D Printer In Your *Kindergarten* Classroom? Why?” This Is A Question I Have Heard Countless Times Over The Past Several Years. My Answer Usually Describes How Exposing Students To A Technology That Will Likely Be Common Place In Their Future Is A Powerful Way To Broaden My Students' Horizons. However, Over The Past Year I Have Added A Second, More Compelling Answer, Rooted Not In The Future, But In The Present- “To Teach My Students To Create Solutions To Everyday Problems.” This Lesson, As Is Or With Slight Modification, Allows A Teacher Of Any Grade With Access To A 3-D Printer To Move Their Students From Passive Consumers To Problem Solving Creators Using One Of The Most Powerful And Important Tools For Learning In The History Of Our Species- Play.
