Module 8 - eNABLE Extension - Taking This Work to a New Level
|
Module 8 Goal: To encourage educators to develop new, innovative, and unique extensions of working with eNABLE and to then have them share these innovations with the community.
Overview
Educators who are drawn to working with eNABLE are innovate risk takers by nature. They are looking for creative ways to engage their students in challenging and meaningful projects that will allow them to realize: “I am making a difference”. The nature of this ground breaking work is such that educators who seek out an affiliation with eNABLE are also educators who are prepared to take this work in new and incredibly interesting directions. These suggestions are ways to support those educators exploring novel methods of using eNABLE activities in their classroom and provide them with a forum to show case their work and that of their students in order to inspire other educators.
If you have have an interesting 3D printed hand project, unit, lesson, or activity that you have conducted with students, or if you have an authentic design project that eNABLE teachers who are looking for extensions of this work, please consider sharing them with other educators through Enabling The Future. Note: Jen Owen from Enabling the Future encourages schools to tag any of their work posted in social media with @enablethefuture in order to bring their work to her attention.

Example 1:
- Project: 3D Design Problem Bank
- Rich Lehrer, Innovation Coordinator, Brookwood School, Manchester, MA, USA [email protected]
- Overview: 3D Design Problem Bank - Using Real-Life Problems To Teach Students to Design Their Own 3D Solutions - Putting student designers in touch with people in need of a 3D designed and printed solution gives students the opportunity to develop real solutions to real problems and can lead to profound learning experiences and feelings of empowerment for them, and "win-win" opportunities for all involved. In this project, students from Brookwood School are 3D designing and printing solutions to problems posted by members of the Brookwood community.
