problem

too few opportunities to explore I.T.

-Explanation of the problem-
Since Maria Montessori lived in a time of comparative technological innocence, the necessity to include relevant, up-to-date technological breakthrough is imperative in keeping the Montessori Method at the forefront of modern education.

The search for technology that meets both National Curriculum criteria and the Montessori consideration of process over product has been

Solution

interaction with 3D printer technology



-Variables-



This research will be limited to the Cycle 3 class for children aged 9 to 12.

-Locus of Control-


The Cycle 3 participants will have complete design freedom and be responsible for developing their personal understanding of the technology through hands-on application.




-Innovation-

Comprehensive introductory lessons will be provided for the class with question time.
Both design and application will be addressed.
Trained staff members will be on hand for guidance. Participants will have access to 3D printed products.

Haiku Deck's minimal format encourages concise, bold headlines.

You can import your own image (http://blog.haikudeck.com/import-images-like-a-pro/) or use the integrated Creative Commons image search for a more metaphorical approach (More about that here:

-Group Membership-
The teaching group consists of 2 Directors and 2 assistants. The 2 Directors will be trained in 3D printing design and production. All educators will provide guidance according to Montessori teaching principles.

You can support your big idea with three key points.

Presenting them one at a time, rather than all at once, helps each one sink in.

-Negotiations-
Canberra Montessori School has been issued with 100 3D printing licences.

-Ethics-
As student safety is our highest priority, we have purchased an enclosed 3D printer in order that there is no risk of substance inhalation or limb endangerment.

Today we are going to touch on all of these unlikely topics...
