== Introduction ==

This page '''just collects a few ideas''' that I will expand at some point in a more general article. I also explored some of these topics in my fall 2011 [[:fr:STIC:STIC IV|STIC IV]] class and will implement more seriously in a fall 2013 class

== Teaching of design and fabrication ==

{{quotation|Designing—giving form to new objects or environments—is largely a question of anticipating the workings of spatial and material environments, which can become ‘reality’ only by being built. Until ‘realized’, a design is essentially a figment of the designer's imagination, although his or her ideas may be laid down and conveyed to others via specialized design media. In this way, impressions of the design may be shared with clients, colleagues or other ‘actors’ in the design process.}} (Breen et al., 2003).

== 3D models for science and engineering lessons ==

Makerbot, suggests a few modules for [http://curriculum.makerbot.com/science.html Science and Engineering] lessons with respect to New York's [http://curriculum.makerbot.com/science.html Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science, and Technology]. As of sept. 2011, the suggested modules support:
* Standard 1: Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
* Standard 2: Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information using appropriate technologies. 
* Standard 5: Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
* Standard 6: Students will understand the relationships and common themes that connect mathematics, science, and technology and apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.
* Standard 7: Students will apply the knowledge and thinking skills of mathematics, science, and technology to address real-life problems and make informed decisions.

Typical examples modules are:
* [http://curriculum.makerbot.com/2011/connections.html Connecting Parts]. Design your own system of interlocking parts using OpenScad.
* [http://curriculum.makerbot.com/2011/mousetrap_car.html Mouse trap car]: Create car powered by the energy of a wound-up mousetrap's spring.
* [http://curriculum.makerbot.com/2011/mystery_box.html Mystery box] produced by the teacher.

== Models for teaching and learning ==

[http://3dprintables.org/ 3D Printables wiki] (Hod Lipson et al.) argue that {{quotation|There is ample evidence that learning is enhanced through active experiences, especially when relating to spatial and physical concepts that are difficult to visualize and understand abstractly. Traditionally, dedicated educators would handcraft physical models to help demonstrate educational concepts, but such models are becoming increasingly rare due to the resources, skill and effort involved in making them, and the advent of cheaper and more flexible virtual models and computer simulations. Physical models can also aid visually impaired persons and help alleviate learning disparities associated with spatial reasoning. With the popularization of 3D-printing technologies, however, fabrication of physical models is becoming increasingly simple and readily accessible, thus enabling resurgence of this important educational medium.}} (retrieved 18:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC))

This 3D printables wiki distinguishes between Kinematics Models, Mathematical Models, Molecular Biology Models, Chemistry Models, Archeological Models, Aeronautical Models and Anatomical Models (e.g. Messmer et al. 2006).

Examples:
* [http://www.thingiverse.com/explore/newest/learning/math Math learning on Thingiverse], for example
** [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:184033 Blocks for logarithms, multiplication, factors, and primes: The Logprimus]
** [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:245202 Pythagorean Theorem]

== 3D models to support project-oriented teaching ==

The idea is develop visual 2 1/2 or 3D languages with customized Lego blocks. I did hear from several people that they do that.

See: 
* [[Lego-compatible thesis project board]]
* [[Physical visualization]]

== Teaching of 3D graphics and programming ==

{{quotation| The algorithmic thinking inherent in computer programming is crucial to the development of understanding how information technologies work. Too often, however, teaching programming is not grounded in the student experience and the ability for novices to grasp basic computer programming concepts (Mayer, 1980) leads toessential barier of access. This barier can cause students to lose interest in learning how top rogram (Resnick et al., 2003) and, even in informal learning settings, can be limiting to the extent that cultural acceptance becomes stagnant and proliferation of a programming culture (Kafai et al., 2007) is dificult to attain.}} (Fadjo et al., 2007).

== Educational constructionist play worlds ==

The idea that children learn through making things. 

See for example 
* DUPLO's as [[Doblo_factory#Design_of_constructivist_play_kits|constructivist play kits]] and thing [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31284 Modular castle kit - Lego compatible] I made.
* [[:fr:STIC:STIC_IV_%282015%29|STIC:STIC IV (2015) - design et la fabrication de kits/jeux constructifs avec OpenSCAD]], in french)

== Tangible and ubiquitous computing ==

{{quotation|What I want to show is that children have always been travelling between different worlds, the virtual world and the physical world. [...] From an educational perspective, [...], we need to blend three ingredients: transitioning, which is about letting one's mind wander, or get into the flow; grounding, which is about being anchored, or "staking one's territory to know where one stands and keeping one's bearing"; and "self-orienting" - knowing where we are.}} ([http://www.futurelab.org.uk/resources/publications-reports-articles/web-articles/Web-Article463 Interview with Edith Ackermann])

== Limitations ==

=== Speed ===

One of the problems education will have to face is print speed, in particular for larger objects. Printing speed certainly will improve and prices for SLA and SLS printers that can print a bit faster are coming down.

Another solution is to print wireframes used for [http://stefaniemueller.org/WirePrint/ fast 3D printed previews] (Mueller et al, 2014). The same authors also suggest substituting parts with [http://stefaniemueller.org/faBrickation/ Lego bricks] or [http://stefaniemueller.org/platener/ Laser-cut elements].

Some of these entries will have to be moved to other articles, e.g. teaching how to program , 3D virtual environments. For the moment they are here, because I intend to contrast normal, virtual and physical environments.
