Online & Blended Learning for All, Like It Or Not

The time has arrived where there is no argument about the place of technology in education . We need to rely on tech to help everyone with delivering education from a distance as we are sheltering in place and we need to do so in an intelligent and effective manner without just bumbling through a Zoom video conference for an entire class period. Be available for question, but don't expect students to sit there and listen to you lecture for even 20 minutes, much less an entire 70 minute period as is the length at my school. I've pasted the tips here and then again below with examples and additional explanation.

Students are using TinkerCAD to design a name tag for their mailboxes. Here's is my demo with a hipster mustache as my overall shape.

LEDs & 3D printing w/ Tinkercad

Follow @lmcarey I've been intrigued at how easily you can go from the simple to the complex in Tinkercad . The entry point is ideal for students as young as kindergarten or 1st grade and I'm using it for my Digital Design class, a visual arts class using digital tools and hardware including the laser cutter and 3D printer. Using the hole and group features allows you to make your CAD model uniquely complex. Here is the link to make a photo into an .stl file that you can import into Tinkercad . Here are also a couple of great links from instructables on glow circuit assembly and 3D printing with circuits .
